Here comes the stranger of the strangest things coming out for the Wii this April. Here’s a couple of hints: it involves fighting bacteria with pre-pubescent girls, anime, and really short skirts.

Well if you haven’t guessed it by now, it’s a game called Osouji Sentai Clean Keeper, otherwise known as Cleaning Battalion: Clean Keeper. For some reason Idea Factory thought it would be a fantastic idea if they combined half-naked anime girls, cleaning, and non-stop Wii action. For right now only Japanese folk will have access to this cleaning battalion, but you could purchase it yourself, provided you know any Japanese.

It’s not all pre-pubescent girls screaming of pedophilia, though. Despite the newly released screenshots (word of advice: it’s probably not safe for work, life, or your eyes), the game doesn’t involve any weird situations, if you consider fighting off bacteria with school girls normal.

You play high school student Kurou Manamoto, who one day skips out on class (for whatever reason that is). That happened to be the day everyone was assigned after-school extracurricular activities, so in spite of your boredom, you end up as the head of the Cleaning Club. During an exciting day of cleaning school hallways, you meet a cleaning spirit called Mary. She tells poor ol’ you that an evil organization wants to summon the powers of the Dirt Devil to make your school particularly dirty and unkempt. Uh oh!

This is where those scantily clad anime chicks come in. Called the Clean Keepers, your job is to find other cleaning spirits and fight the evil bacteria and dirt that plagues your school. You pick one Clean Keeper to help you fight these dirty parasites, but that’s up to your preference.

Cleaning Battalion: Clean Keeper hits Japanese stores on April 24. If you’re really in need of a new Japanese cleaning/dating/anime game that makes you feel a bit dirty (in more ways than one) it might be worth checking out. Just keep it away from little children.
