From what i've read, they're only selling drinks .... do we have to tip the host himself ?
Anyone with experience engaging one (male / female) ?
No, there is no tipping in Japan. There is nothing to be scared of.

The thing is, they are more expensive than most people can afford, and, mostly, more expensive than they are worth. Basically you are guaranteed a fun time, conversation, and good service. You are guaranteed a conversation partner. That's what you are paying for. Since most gaijin don't have a problem starting conversation with a Japanese person they don't know (assuming they speak Japanese) the cost isn't worth it for most gaijin.
