I love Akiba! I got in touch with my inner otaku (though some would say it is not so inner). Akiba is the shortened form of Akihabara. A part of Tokyo that is famous for its Electric Town, which sells anything you would ever need to build a transistor radio. One can also build a computer from components bought from this part of town. But this is not what draws me to Akihabara. It is its toys!

I love manga and anime, and they have stores that only sell character figurines. It was so much fun to go with friends who were also on the hunt of the cute.
