Dakimakuras anyone?

ZZ... Oh my fucking god! That's insane!

Yeah, Shashin told me :). They are actually cheaper for me through YJA, since I have to get the AGE set and the B2 poster, and I have a YJA account and a relatives address.

o.O ZZ that's leet. sorry, i meant 1337. hey have any of you guys seen that d00d that chills w/ his nanoha daki in the street? i think he's funny lol he's the epitome of "not giving a fuck" i know sash saw that nigga lol

Hey, Shas, you got this cover right? Got any pics, I think I want to pick this one up.

Yeah, I do and I'd definitely recommend it. I'll see if I can dig it out and take some pictures a bit later.

So there's something really strange going on here. Either HOP really doesn't want to sell to foreigners or they plan on opening up international orders. I hope it's the latter, but we'll see, I guess.

My translation comes out saying that they just won't use places like Toranoana to do their business anymore. I wonder if that is the reason why my Takane cover has been delayed.

That's the thing though, the tweet is in English not Japanese. So why would they tweet in English unless it were directed at foreign fans? >_>

Oh, LOL. My Chrome translates everything, so every time I come to a place that would be written in Japanese; I assume it is translated, if that made any sense at all. >.>

Yeah, I know what you mean and it's exactly why I have the "Translate everything from Japanese" turned off on Chrome. I'll translate a page when I need to, but I'm much better at navigating a page of Japanese text than I am a page of broken English.

As requested:

DAMN!!! Now I gotta have the cover, though now my damages have hit 4k, I MUST HAVE IT!!!

Damn, those vags looks dericious! First time I have seen two fully grown females on a cover!

Some arrivals this week..


Mikeou Bath Towel and Sasahiro's Takumimakura cover.

Nice batch, willow! :D Can't wait to see that askmakura cover!

Touching the H.O.P. topic, again. So orders that were placed on consignment shops prior to the recent tweet, are they canceled?

Past orders should be fine, it's just for the future I think.

Yeah, it wouldn't be good business to cancel past orders; they probably have some sort of contract with the consignment stores that would get them into trouble if they couldn't fulfill them. The reasoning for them no longer using consignment stores seems to be because they weren't making any profit. It probably has something to do with their recent policy of requiring 30 dakimakura covers to be made if they're going to print a specific cover. Consignment stores probably took a greater cut than they were hoping (in addition to raising the price by a bit) and having a more expensive product spread out over 2-3 different stores seems like it would be confusing and maybe not let them hit the number of orders they needed.


Damn, I guess we'll definitely see if CranCrown is more on the company line or the circle line in terms of censorship with their never cover; there's no way they can skirt the line here. o.O It's either going to be censored or it isn't. D:

Pretty sure it'll be censored in some way.. hopefully with juices ;

From the recent Cran's covers I have, I'll say chances it's censored.

Yeah, it being a company cover my own theory is telling me that it has to be censored. With the way the sample looks, the only way it could possibly be done is either juices or lazy censoring. D: I'd absolutely love to be wrong, but we'll see I guess - I know someone in this thread will probably order it. If they do choose to censor in it some way, I wonder if they'll leave the other hole on the backside untouched; the recent Lilith cover had it uncensored if I remember correctly.

I'll most likely be getting it, waiting to see if Otacute stock it as they're cheapest for dakimakura covers and have stocked crancrown in the past.

If you didn't vouch for them, I'd say there's something fishy going on here. D:

It's sold now and now in the "backorder" phase, but they had one left in stock and were selling it for $36.
