The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Jōō (嬢王; lit. "Queen") is a Japanese manga series written by Ryō Kurashina and illustrated by Nao Kurebayashi. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Business Jump from 2004 to 2008, with its chapters collected in twelve tankōbon volumes. A sequel, Jōō Virgin, was serialized in the same magazine from 2009 to 2010. It tells the story of a young girl's challenge at the "Jōō Grand Prix" contest, in which the best kyabakura hostess is promised to win JP¥100,000,000. A television drama adaptation of the same name was broadcast for three seasons on TV Tokyo from 2005 to 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
