I've thought about using some random disposable manga as TP before, but NEVER would I have dreamt that the industry would actually ENCOURAGE me to do so...

Edit: Stupid typoes...

I always read when I go to the bathroom. It's a habit.

Haha I find it cool to have manga toliet paper Anime hyper Although I doubt I would actually use it. What a strange way to sell your art.

They sell toilet paper with newspaper articles or English lessons on it in Japan, so this doesn't come as too much of a surprise to me. :p Though, the things about food and putting it on the kitchen table.... That's a liiiittle strange.

It is a bit strange but, look how much attention and publicity it has now. It may be stupid and funny, but the guy who made it, he's getting a lot of attention[probably in japan and, a bit over here]. Laughing People would actually buy it, I'm not saying me though.
Plus, it's Japan, where all the weird yet somehow interesting stuff comes from.
It's actually kinda cool, so unique.

Don't know if it's the case in Japan, but here in Korea, people use toilet paper for facial tissue paper (Kleenex). In fact, it was hard for me to find facial tissues when I first got here, so I just stuck to toilet paper anyway. I would TOTALLY display this on at least my kitchen counter.

TP isn't strong enough for nose blows, but touchups are ok.

Still, the guy is a little too late with his idea. Don't US Publishers already Manga Toilet Paper?

Well, the Japanese have all the sweet toilets. Makes sense that they'd get the sweet toilet paper.

... I think it's cool! =D
