Dakimakuras anyone?

Unfortunately, I don't. because it only comes in 150cmx50cm configurations and most of my covers are at least 160.

Hmmm, I see. I mean, you have been doing this for about 5 years now, has there been good things said about this pillow? It is the most expensive out of them all. At least through Amiami and the pillows they got to offer.

Yes, it's said by many to be the best pillow out there in the market because of it's ridiculously high thread count(of course this isn't the most important factor because it only deals with the surface).
It's super thick in a way that you know most pillows when you hug it for a while, the filling inside will be pushed to the top and the bottom of the pillow, leaving the center slightly hollow, the lousier the pillow the more prominent this will show. DreamMaster is known for being able to ignore this problem due to it's high density filling, so the shape of the pillow stays intact.

While A&Js is a good pillow,it still lacks the density of the filling in Dream Master but you can top up the filling into A&Js via the zipper the bottom of the pillow, so it's no big deal.

Uhhh, does this produce strips like those one on Dengeki G's dakis? I really hate those. Hrnnngghhhh.

Uh not sure what you mean by "strips" exactly, but all recent Dengeki G dakis are also a type of smooth knit(SK) (there's many slightly different versions of SK). So it's likely to be the same as for company sheets/bonus items. The quality on the ones you linked is never going to be exceptional, they are cheap because they were cheaply produced and it will show in the quality. The only way to get a good quality cover relatively cheap from mandarake is for it to have been previously used, and have some form of defect (snags/damage, disturbing smell, etc..). Any good quality cover which is in perfect condition will command the usual high prices.

I think you are referring to what happens when a thread gets snagged and is pulled up/down, the result can leave a nasty "strip" on the cover. It's sorta' hard to explain, but if this is what you are referring to, then yes, SK is pretty prone to this. But the same can happen with just about any cover if a thread is snagged. Best bet it to keep your nails well trimmed/filed. I rarely handle my covers - been more into collecting them than sleeping with them lately. However, now that part of my Evening Call order came in yesterday... ;)

Ahh, ok. Thanks for the info sir!

You betcha'.
Also, here's a lil' sneak peak at what arrived earlier this week:

You bought 2 Tohou? Oh and you got Dizzy as well, but only 1?

I see. Now SK should be never be slept with. Oh well, I'm a cheap bastard and can only afford anime figs. Thanks anyway :D

Yo man, I loved those two touhou ones. I was quite fond of their pussies. >.> Diggin' that Dizzy one as well!

Awesome, I wanted that Touhou one.

Dakimakura don't usually have censorship, don't they? Sometimes they do convenience censoring with hair or something, as I've seen, but this loli one, I've seen the mosaic in every pic I've seen of it...
http://stylus-inc.jugem.jp/?eid=290

Usually it's only companies that censor their covers, however, HOP has been known to censor a few and I'm sure there have been some other circles that have censored in the past. With that said, I don't own any of the covers the loli bondage guy has done in the past, but to not censor his work on the website would be a violation of Japanese law, so I would guess he's playing the safe side of things. I'd much rather have the mosaic censoring on the sample versus big ass sample bars that obscure everything, like the majority of works. My best guess is that the final product won't be censored, but we won't know 100% for sure until someone buys it (I intend to.)

Edit: And actually, if you look at any of his other covers on the site, he usually mosaics nipples too. So I'd say with a great deal of certainty that the end result won't be censored.

Well I also bought that Queen's Blade Alice cover too, but she doesn't ship until sometime next month. I suppose I could have purchased two Dizzy covers or two Alice covers, but would rather have one of each. I rarely buy multiples of covers unless it's something I really really like (in this case these Touhou covers - I have been dying to get this cover since I first saw it), or if I purchased a cover through YJA and then find another auction for the same cover that comes with some sort of pre-order or bonus item that I missed out on. My five HarthNir covers are a good example of a combination of both. ;)



Hahaha. Not necessarily, you can, but just know that since it is one of the cheaper materials and has a higher chance of this happening. But don't let that steer you away from getting something you like just because it's SK. You can always hang it up somewhere. ;)



Thanks. Me too, man, me too. :D

Ah, okay, I see.
And that'd be great, but we'll just have to see.

Yeah Blink, I'd listen to Shashin: chances are that cover is NOT going to be censored. And I might add that this particular cover is looking mighty tempting. I would like to get it, but my funds are spread pretty thin so I may just get that cute chick in the swimsuit from B&W store. Just still so torn on whether to get her in the Black or White swimsuit. Decisions, decisions... >:)

Lovin' the new wave of covers on Toranoana.


A cover from Kensoh Ogawa!

Man, Evening Call is just pumping out the quality covers. My fond childhood memories of Yu-Gi-Oh and my love for TID are making me seriously consider the Black Magician Girl cover. And the Saki chick is always good. :3

That Dark Magician girl, but what interests me more is the girl below. And thanks for answering my question, Shashin. I didn't even have to ask it. It was going to be about the girl below, and where she was from. I've seen her in quite a few doujins. To stay on topic, thanks for posting that link to her; I'm considering buying her.

Heh, no worries on where she's from; I only know it myself because I ended up watching the series a few years ago when it was airing. Though for posting the link, it would have ended up on the dakimakura blog eventually (and it is now), but I couldn't resist the urge to bring up something before it was on the blog. :P

I'm normally not into massively busted chicks myself, but I have to admit that she definitely looks good.
