Back on May 30th history was made with the announcement of production plans for the world’s first* contoured hug pillow. The maiden release of Toranoana’s “Purichichi” pillow line features an original illustration by Sano Toshihide of Shiratori Amane, heroine of the recently released G.J? eroge Anata no Shiranai Kangofu, and as such I’ve had more than a journalistic stake in following this particular item. After refreshing Toranoana’s mail order page nearly every day for the past few weeks since the news broke that it was set for sale in September, last night the vigil finally paid off: she’s now listed at both Toranoana and Amiami. Whether any shops that ship internationally will carry the item is unknown; I think it’s possible that Hobby Search might, we’ll keep you posted. According to the latest information from the Tora product listing she’s expected to street in early November, at a whopping 170 cm in length and a price point of 9,450 yen (without pillow). The raging Sano fanboy within me is quite sated by this development, but I can’t help being a bit curious as to what they have planned for the second installment… (no more)

second installment?
i wonder how the oppai will be filled or how that works.
none the less i’m sooo interested haha
…does J-List do special orders? :D
I hope they don’t use fluff or similar pillow material to uh, pad them – they would eventually flatten, thus becoming a horrible caricature of itself!
/facepalm
J-list does not do special orders. But Shopping Mall Japan does! From Toranoana too! I’ve used them several times and am quite pleased with the quickness and ease of dealing with them.

Don’t be hating on us lonely otaku, Kurogane.
Despite being exceptionally intrigued initially, due to size and the matter of laundry I may actually have to give this one a pass.
Will preorder just in case though…
omg, now even become like this, pro !…
Turns out the width is 45cm instead of 70cm instead of originally announced. Special-sized pillow no longer required, am not regretting my preorder now.
I was wondering about that… damn it, I went ahead and ordered the pillow with the thing on the assumption that it would’ve been so voluminous as to have been an enormous pain in the ass to construct my own. Damn you Toranoana, damn you to an inferno of fluffy pillows and comfy chairs.
