Above screen-shots are from “Maid in Japan“—a simulation game for English study—where you can try to pick-up a virtual maid, named Sophia who comes from Vancouver.
According to a crappy but entertaining machine-translation the official website of Maid in Japan (メイドさんと英語クイズ ):

The game is an excellent—A.I.—artificial intelligence, which reacts to the words that the user inputs as they play with Sophia the Maid via a variety of English quizzes. The animation of Sophia the Maid reacts to the user input depending on how good an impression the user makes on Sophia. That “good” impression increases with the number of correct English responses the user makes…which results in a method of enjoyable English study.

Unlike this so-called “English study” game, our sponsor JList sells all sorts of wacked dating simulation games, the most famous is, Peach Princess’s “Little My Maid”. All these dating sims have been translated from the Japanese into English by JList/JAST. The objective of dating sims is to choose from among several characters to date and to score a “romantic” relationship.

Check it out if you want to cop a feel of Japanese maid simulation adventure. Also, watch a demo video the newest maid game, Bazooka Cafe.
