Via the Dakimakura Integrated Research Center: Based on user feedback solicited last September, online otaku goods shop Medio yesterday announced the first in what is to be a series of original dakimakura hug pillowcases from the brand: Ryouko-san no Moe Moe Haa Haa Dakimakura Cover. The case features original illustrations from Atelier Kaguya character designer Choco Chip of the popular Shirakawa Ryouko, who appeared in both the Anejiru and Nurse ni Omakase eroge. The pillowcase is double-sided, 160 x 50 cm in size, and is available for preorder now at 12,000 or 11,000 yen retail (depending on the fabric type desired). Release is expected on June 27th. Case images below:
International distribution is not currently planned, so those outside of Japan will likely have to engage a proxy service to obtain the item. We’ll keep an eye out for future offerings from Medio when they appear.
Any additional info on what the 2 types of fabrics are, and their differences? Thanks.
That’s two recently I’ve seen I like. I don’t need to start collecting something else. . . .

The two types of fabric are “2WT” (12,000 yen) and “Smooth Knit” スムースニット (11,000 yen).
2WT stands for “two-way tricot”, which is a nylon-spandex blend used in swimsuit manufacture.
Smooth knit is a cotton-spandex blend used more for regular clothing (jerseys, tights, etc.).
I own both 2WT (Saya and Cindy from Chara@) and smooth knit (Ikkitousen pair from Machi Chara) pillows. I like the texture of both a lot, though I can see where the extra price comes from with the Chara@ pillows – the printing quality is higher fidelity, and the combination of smooth/stretchiness without being “shiny” is really nice.
Thank you Shingo. Great info provided by you, as usual. 8D
