Too Cool for School: An Otaku's Shopping Guide
Because scholastics and style aren't mutually exclusive.
It's almost that magical time of year again. The summer's drawing to a close, the days are getting a little bit shorter and pretty soon it'll be back-to-school time. We know this can be a time of dread for some – having to give up sleeping in and spending all day watching anime – but it's also a chance to reinvent yourself and acquire all sorts of cool new stuff to show the world what you love with style. We already showed you some hot new kicks to shift your wardrobe into high gear, so let's take a look at a few other accessories you can nab to start the year off right.
 Lunch Boxes – We can't help you decide which table you're going to sit at, but we can give you a couple awesome lunch box options. One Piece fans will enjoy this cool lunch box, although cafeteria piracy is still generally frowned upon. If you're looking for something a little less "loud", check out this bento box, complete with adorable panda face. If you go with the second option, you have to promise to fill it with adorable food (and send us pictures)!
 Backpacks – Your backpack is a very big back-to-school decision. You usually only get one per year and you've got to carry it everyday, so try something a little different than the age-old Jansport, like this Sailor Moon number or this Death-Note bag. Just make sure you double-check which notebook you're writing in before you go taking notes in class.
 School Supplies – Spice up that boring old pencil bag with something fun like this Doraemon pencil case. Given the nature of everyone's favorite robot cat, we're sure you can store more than just pencils in there. You'll be the envy of all your friends when you show up with this Jiji tape dispenser! Warning: flying broomstick sold separately.
 Trendy Tees – Start your school year off right with a couple new t-shirts to shake up your wardrobe! See you on the playground, Space Cowboy; this Cowboy Bebop tee is subtle and cool, and this Hello Kitty tee is a must-have mix of vintage varnish and fashion-forwardness.
