Inui Takemaru( the mangaka) must be laughing his head off at this one.

It's only a matter of time before we have a transparent, gel-filled, slime girl body pillow. |

It's the end of Western Civilization! (Oh, wait; Japan is in Asia -- nevermind.) |

BRUH?!!!!!
I'm good on the pillow I don't need to have something that looks,sounds, and feels like a really bad investment. If I'm 50 and have this pillow I couldn't even explain to the kids and grandkids why I got this they'll look at me like I lost my @#% mind when I bought this. |

Even if only limiting it to the commercial area, do you know how many booths there are? (if taking it in total, just the BOOTH listing is a phonebook sized book) Take a large western anime convention (one with at least 10k+ people and look at their dealers room. That's the "commercial" area at Comiket. Granted, each vendor probably has a smaller VARIETY of items, but its still a LOT of stuff. |

I can only imagine what's going on in Inui Takemaru's head
Inui Takemaru: "I honestly never thought monster girls would catch on, at least, not like this. But I DO live in Japan, so my thinking may have been a bit foolish " |

I'd be happy with a pillow that long, with or without sexy snake girl pillowcase. That's above and beyond the call of duty for 'body pillow'.

I hope they enjoy it, as for myself, I'll just be looking in Yahoo Japan auctions very soon for the Chino pillow and sleep aid CD.

Anyone who spends 800 dollars on a pillow needs to be locked up in an asylum.

So hot! I'll admit though, it's a clever item. The sort of thing I'd have made primarily as a joke. But as it turns out the joke is selling. Thus begins an era of creative love-pillows. The industry will never be the same... |

I wonder how much profit each pillow gives to the company. If it helps fund a second season, I won't criticize people's spending habits.
Though to be fair, 23-foot long pillows aren't exactly common, so the price isn't that unjustified even if the average person is unwilling to spend the money get it. It's a luxury after all, like figurines. |

Well, I have a feeling those folks that took part in helping the buyer carrying that very-long pillow of Miia are going to spend the rest of the day partying to their hearts' content.
