You have to stand in awe at Japan’s attempts to personify Steve Jobs in anime/manga creations. The latest work comes from manga artist CHOCO, who personifies the Apple co-founder as an attractive young girl.

Few people know what the story is with this manga biography of Steve Jobs titled “Chocolate Apple,” but it’s safe to assume it includes at least one account of Jobko killing an employee for not finishing their work in due time.

But if you only want Jobko and nothing more, you can get her on a T-shirt that sells for 3,750 yen, or about US $37 / €26.

Apple used to take down every personification of Jobs, even threatening to take legal actions in some cases, but things spiraled out of control and they just stopped trying to ban these products. Maybe it had something to do with Jobs passing in 2011, but one thing is for sure: if Japan wants to see Jobs as a girl in ripped jeans with perky bosom filling a black turtleneck, resistance has become futile.

And as strange as it may sound, Jobs was actually an avid fan of Japan’s culture. How do you like them apples?
