So I guess this is about what we can expect from those C82 exclusive items too?

If this went for about 1,500 dollars, I wonder if thats what that Miu body pillow will go for too.

...At first I wondered why they don't just drop this money on impressing a real woman, then I remembered this is Otaku we're talking about.

Anything with the headline "buttocks mouspads" is destined to be lolworthy.

Anime women don't tell you they had a long day at work and aren't in the mood.

I for one wouldn't want a girl that was only impressed with my money...

Real women eventually grow old and betray you. Ass mousepads are FOREVER!!!

"Drop this money on impressing a real woman" with all that cash? Heck, it doesn't even need to be about impressing them; someone could probably get some decent, uh, 'quality' time at a love hotel if they had all that cash to spend.

Not as much as that. I'd say we might see it go up to 30000 yen or so, but probably a lot lower. I remember eying the Kousaka Kirino C78 exclusive dakimakura and it never went super high on YAJ.

Heh looks like being dropped by that first publisher was a great thing for this franchise.

At that price, you'd likely be better off just buying an actual ass. Japan has a thriving sex industry, they can make it happen.

No, it's still the same publisher. The title simply moved from Shonen Jump to Jump Square.

There was all sorts of messiness with the artist's wife and custody battles and character rights (since Haruna was based off the wife) and all that caused the artist to put the series to rest early. After it was all sorted out, he came back and as we can see it has been glorious since.

The mousepads look incredibly disproportional.

And its for the best, since Darkness goes far beyond what regular Jump ever would have allowed. It really allows it to reach its maximum potential now with the fanservice.
