Aww, c’mon you know how to read Japanese, don’t you?

It’s not webcare (like in care for the Web and the Web will take care fo you) but WEB-KARE (with “kare” like in Japanese “kareshi” = boyfriend)

Sheesh, some people.

I have an account there to learn my daily bit of spoken Japanese (and I’m engaged). It’s funnier than watching Anime because it’s written down in kanji and I have to think to actually get it. Also all the oshirase are in Japanese.

But I actually believe, that being able to watch a bishounen you have chosen is also more fun than watching a bishounen-ridden series, where the creators decide which of the bishounens will appear for how long and how many times, right?

It’s like tamagocchi a bit XD but with a boy. :DDD
