Locking the Attic: Schatzkiste Chapter 1 Ends Today
Unfortunately, I wasn’t in Tokyo for the falling of the curtain, but the best cafe in Akiba, Schatzkiste had an event today for the end of the store as we currently know it. Though I only caught the tail end of its existence, the 9 maids who have been all working there since the store’s opening managed to create a wonderful space that opened my eyes to what a good maid cafe can be like and restored my hope in Akiba. There’s a very nice writeup of the cafe by a mysterious man here which I don’t have a whole lot more to add to, other than my confident hopes that chapter 2, starting on the fifth of next month, will be every bit as inviting, relaxing, and perfectly fitted to Akiba as the first. Maybe it’ll be a bit bigger, too :)
If you have any memories of the place, please feel free to share them in the comments.
