<![CDATA[Adorable "Rogue Monkey" Terrorizes Tokyo Train Station]]> It was just an average rush hour at the Shibuya Station in Tokyo when a wee brown monkey started causing trouble by hopping around the automatic ticket gates a little after 9 this morning, Reuters reports. Although the cheeky primate continues to elude police officers, he will not be booked with any criminal charges for his monkey malfeasance. "It's a monkey - it's not like it did anything bad," a police spokesman said. Sounds like they're being soft on monkey business! Clip above.

<![CDATA[Cool Intentions]]> A new "schoolboy cafe" in Tokyo has waiters who look and act like teenage boarding school students as they flirt with the customers, mostly "office ladies in their twenties and thirties," reports Reuters. The concept is based on a popular comic book, as well as the hugely successful boy-love manga genre: Comics about boy-boy romance for female readers are undergoing a revival in Japan right now. In any case, the cafe's waiters will talk to you about German poetry as you pretend to be a wealthy benefactress visiting the school, which, frankly, sounds hot. Konichiwa, bitches. [Reuters]
