So yesterday we saw that censorship in Japan sucks (which makes me wonder how some of the uncensored art actually gets out) but one thing that does rock about Japan is that they understand fan service and aren’t shy about it.

Take this for example.

It’s an official licensed hot and sexy art book featuring Mai from KoF. Yup, that’s right… fully licensed. That means at some point, at SNK tower, someone suggested a hot and sexy art book featuring some of their female IP should be made for the masses, and everyone agreed. The book was drawn by artist Mahiru Izumi. Oh… and this isn’t the first book like this ether. Iroha from Samurai Showdown has her own book too.

How awesome is that? Official sexiness right from the source.

Actually, it’s my understanding that just about anyone can produce a naughty book/CD featuring popular characters and no body gets yelled at in Japan. Where here in North America, if someone from the legal dept of studio X saw my Chipettes pictures… I’m sure I’d get dragged around the mud or at least have a “take this down right now” letter come though my in box.

Let’s home that doesn’t happen. ^_^
