More Bang for Your Buck?

Want to receive daily romantic inquires but lack a full-time significant other? Japanese women may have just the ticket! The new virtual “Handsome Man Bank” provides a lustful compliment each time you save your pennies. Like a piggy bank only so much cuter.

The Ikemen (ee-keh-men) or “Handsome Man Bank” made by Japanese toymaker Bandai, comes in pink or white and allows you to pick from five handsome men – rendered in Japanese anime fashion. “Not only does your dreamboat stare out at you with big, soulful eyes, he also whispers sweet nothings.” I’m sold!

“Can I kiss you?” or “May I rub your shoulders?” are just two of the many romantic phrases you may hear. But, as with any true romance, you may have to make a few sacrifices...your money conscious Romeo needs a deposit of at least 500 yen – or $5 USD -- to utter just one sweet nothing.

Also doubling as an alarm clock, the Ikemen will run you 4,935 yen (about $47 USD).

A man that will help keep you running on time and assist in planning your financial future? Now that's a boyfriend you can bank on!
