2D goods maker Cospa has put up a preorder page for a hug pillow featuring Nakahara Misaki, the heroine of Takimoto Tatsuhiro / Ooiwa Kenji’s dark hikikomori comedy NHK ni Youkoso! (Welcome to the NHK!). Illustration duty has fallen to the anime staff, who seem to have taken some liberties with her design that are not entirely unwelcome… she should be available from the usual suspects soon, and is set to ship in mid-August at 9,450 yen (tax included, pillowcase only). Full picture below:
This is both so very wrong and so very right in so many ways…
CD Japan will probably get it too hopefully.
Something’s not quite right with the left picture – not sure if it’s the proportions or angles…
…but who’s paying attention to the left pic when you have the other side…
Doesn’t look like Misaki lol. But the 2nd picture sure is risque.
I don’t like what they did to her -_- poor Misaki-chan
I lol’d.
Oh, the (possibly unintentional) irony….
Is that a Y-box i see? :P
Not bad, but doesn’t seem very Misaki like.
Internally consistent…
This is probably a conspiracy set up by the NHK, though Misaki looks to good, and i’d hug her forever.
Well provided I have the money, I’ll be getting that.
Kind of weak since that left image is reused material from a magazine spread. I do like how the tissues are placed right between her legs on the right though.
Interesting bondage theme, I wouldn’t have suspected that for a NHK ni Youkoso pillow. I’m more excited about the translation of the original book being released soon.
I’m liking the left picture, but the right? Not so much. So much deviation from the cuter original design…

really weird merch for a show that openly and spitefully made fun of hug pillows…
#4: RapeMan’s malign influence must have come over the makers of the right image. And at least Satou, unlike her, knows that people need food and water to live.
I’d get it, but “I already have a lifesized Ruriruri!”
