When it come to wild herds of cloned girl-globs, neither those sheep people in Scotland nor those long necked dudes on Kamino have anything on Japan.
Enter AKB48, a group of, yes, 48 young girls who sing and dance for money in darkened rooms full of slavering men. The girls are divided up into teams, A, K and B, which makes it easier to sell the same batch of songs three times over. Not content with being the real-life representation of all thing Akihabarian, the various squads now have their own manga manifestations.
Right now, for free, you can learn the secret origin story of your favorite "B" squad members told in manga format. Apparently you can get a closer look at all the "backstage" action as well. The only catch is that you need a special plugin to read it that seems to dislike English and other things like letting you install it, so alas, you'll just have to imagine the shenanigans. I trust your imagination is filthy.
To make up for that, check out some hot girl on mirror strip-tease action after the jump!
