Do you know about the Android operating system? It´s an OS literally attached to millions of smartphones around the world. It was created by Google.
Why am I talking about Android? Well, because Android is currently the star of a new manga series entitled Sweet Android High.


The manga features a crew of international high school girls named after phones in a unique attempt to advertise the Android operating system in a distinctly Japanese fashion.
Don´t you want to meet Moto-Laura-chan, Sam-Sung-chan, H-T-Syee-chan, Elle-G-chan and Soni-Eri-chan? The girls’ teacher is named Google.

This seems to have been an attempt by someone (Google, presumably) to capitalize on the international popularity of manga and anime.
It is pretty clever – you don’t see this type of advertising very often. Do you agree?
You can find out more about Sweet Android High here . The website is in Japanese, but you can see the profiles of all the "students". Who´s your favorite?
