				 One of the latest crazes in Japan is virtual boyfriends, which you can order up special on the newly-launched Web-kare social network. Two of the possible boys for you are pictured here, and I have to admit they're both kind of hot &mdash; you know, in an anime way.

Apparently the site, which is a "dating simulator" set in a high school, acquired 10,000 members in its first five days after launch.
