In the late 1990's to the early 2000's, with the rise of anime culture in came the what is now an international phenomenon maid cafes. Starting off small in Akihabara, there are now over 200 maid cafe's located in Japan. Maid cafe's are built in "affective" economic systems in which case supporters become apart of a specific community and get the opportunity to interact with people (maids) whom you could only imagine meeting in your dream world. Many manga artist use the cafe's as a way to better their own work or gain inspiration. As well as just the general anime fan there to admire the place and potentially geek out. Though because often maid cafe's generally have small dream like spaces with devoted regulars, it is not uncommon for people to turned away.
