Dakimakuras anyone?

Blink, you can also find tutorials on both Shopping Mall Japan and Rinkya that will walk you through the service(s) they provide, how to sign up, etc. here:

Thanks. I skimmed through SMJ's tutorials, but I haven't even heard of Rinkya until you told me about it. I'll be sure to look through 'em carefully.

Finally found a Selene daki that I like.

Yeah, I'm diggin' them boobies. :D
I think I may have to get this one:

Super hot!

Oh my gad! A Raika daki!

Quite interesting Dakimakura there… She is Raika? Very nice looking!

Note to self: bring less money to japan next time, you have no self control vs dakimakura...

I don't know any of those characters except one, but they are hot! Though I'm interested in seeing more of the character on the bottom left and the one on the bottom right. If that is okay with you, of course.

Speaking of bringing less money to Japan, I wonder how AX(Anime Expo) is with dakimakuras(not related at all). For anyone who has gone to an anime convention in your area, hows the dakimakura inventory? Now that I'm interested in collecting dakimakuras, I'm revising a plan on how I should spend my money when that time comes around.



Yes sir, that's Raika. She is from the anime series, Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai, which finished airing about a week ago. Very lovable character, I might say. You should check out the series; it was very enjoyable.

Damn, keep it going, willowywicca; you're living the dream of all us! ;p

Hot damn... I'm jealous. But that's 7 dakimakura... including one's you got earlier... How much did you bring with you? Isn't this pic alone over $700 worth of goods?

Nice score, man! I too am interested in seeing the chick in the bottom left.
Did you get anything else while you were there?

Why not just buy one from a american manufacturer?

@Willywicca
What's the character on the top middle? Kinda've like it. I might get it as well.

edit: Fuck YES! Someone finally offered a much lower price on that Yui Dakimakura from Total Eclipse.
29,800 yen. Luckily shipping will be free for me. This hurts, but at least its not 42000 yen lol.

Whoaaaaaaahoho... beautiful.

Though holy crap, 29800. Hella expensive.
Why will shipping be free?

Yeah, what Poke said. Holy shit 29K is a lot! I think the most I ever spent on a single cover was 23 or 24.
But hey...if it's something you reeeeeally really want, then go for it!

Yeah, I'd happily buy something for up to three times more if I really want it. Every time, it's left me broke, though. And history will repeat itself if that Totori one I saw on Evening Call becomes available... XP

I have relatives in Japan.

Still complementing it though. I also bought the artbook, maybe I can scan it high dpi and have it custom made. That is much cheaper, but not official.

Hard decision. Official and spend 300$+, or Bootleg but 80$. You guys choose for me >.

I see. That's awesome.

And if I were you, after spending so much on the cover I really wanted, I'd want to save money, cut costs to other things.

Miswrote something
Contemplating. I think I will go with scanning. Some guy outbid me by 5000 yen, not really interested in a bidding war.

Yeah, bidding wars are no fun. I've stayed up until like 6AM just to get the damn item I wanted.

But in regards to the price of this cover and Willow's recent haul, I think the most I ever spent in a single transaction (on daki solely) was 49,500 Yen for 4 covers through Evening Call. With shipping it was like $720. In retrospect, it was one of the stupidest things I've ever done...well maybe not THE stupidest, but it ranks up there. I mean shit, they are just fabric pillow covers. I could have bought a new PS3, 360 and a PS Vita! Sigh...oh well.
But I digress, I'm just happy to hear that my order ships this Tuesday. So excited!!!! Unfortunately Alice (Queen's Blade/Gate) won't ship until May, but that will be a nice surprise. I just can't wait to get my hands on...


I am anxiously awaiting their arrival.

I'm jealous again. That was one I really wanted, but missed the deadline for.
