By Lisa Katayama
For decades Japan's love hotels have provided a place for couples to enjoy anonymous, uninterrupted sex. Politician and secretary, teacher and student, husband and hooker -- all are welcome, as long as they pay in cash and leave when the time limit is up. But 2006 spawned a new type of love hotel. Decorated with theme park interiors and equipped with game consoles, karaoke boxes and sex machines -- these establishments provide kinky fun for all types, from fetishists and sadomasochists to the ordinary couple seeking sexual adventure.
In her new book, Love Hotels, American photographer Misty Keasler portrays some of the newest, most creative love hotels in Japan. Here's a sneak peek.
People who would rather date Sailor Moon than their high school prom queen can check into the Manga Room. Submissive cartoon girls personifying the phrase "no means yes" watch over you as you do your thing. In a setting like this, handcuffs are indispensable.

Lisa Katayama, again you prove your ignorance of Japan. WHAT PROM QUEENS??!! Derrrrrrp. Japanese High Schools / Universities do not have Proms or any other dance parties to any level which would give your caption any relevance.
Nor does your biased use of the "no means yes" phenomenon have issue here since:
1) these still drawings are not speaking or have any words written on them to make your claim valid.
2) You obviously do not know which manga / anime these characters come from or the story that they are related to.
Please retract your ignorant racist statements.

Man don't take this so seriously rated-r. Take a break from the anime and obsession of japan and get outside for once. Being an obsessive fan-boy will get you no were in life.

I don't know what you are talking about, rated-r... the girl on the left WAS our high school's prom queen. The one on the right clearly depicts the "no means yes" mentality.

this is crazy ass ashit its amazing that these things are aloud becaus eyou almost wonder if people can control themselves in and OUT of the hotel but i think its ok to have rooms to let out your inter fantasies and not be judged for it.....
