   	More Waratte!! Sotomuran-san scanalations hitting the   
   net.  So funny as she struggles to learn to smile like a   
   normal girl, frightening people who might be her friends.   
   	In the latest releases she is working in a cafe   
   and while she is a very hard worker she still has trouble   
   smiling.
