"Manga Cum Laude", one might even say.

The cringe is real. I get it that he's confident enough to pull a stunt like that, but let's be honest. It is a creepy thing to do.

Thanks for continuing the status quo belief to the world that Anime Otaku Are Weirdos

At least the Daki Nico has clothes on. Some of them do not...I've heard.

Keep in mind we appear to be seeing only one side. Some have a racier version on the reverse.

This guy isn't even Japanese, or you just typed like all em'cool kids?

Don't really know what to say about this sorts of thing. I just hope that this little incident doesn't make it harder for him to actually find works in the future. At least he's no Melon Pan.

This doesn’t seem proper or respectful to do

He graduated from business school. He'll need a job if he doesn't have one lined up already.

Gee, how to stand out from the rest of the graduates? Don't laugh -- even you know about him now. Marketing + 'no such thing as bad press' = Nico pillow. Every prospective employer will now know (or will when they search on him) that 1) he thinks outside the box, and 2) he is not shy and retiring.

I salute you, sir, and wish you every success.

Down with the haters....I think this guy is awesome...sure, it seems weird or gross to you, but having a daki as your "girlfriend" is sure as hell cheaper and a lot less stressful than a real girlfriend. And who knows his level of commitment to this pillow, he may have just done it as a joke or a dare. Personally I think it's great.

The only cringey thing here is that the title calls the university "Caly Poly." It's... it's "Cal Poly." There's no Y in "California."

Seriously, though, graduation pranks like this are pretty common, so I don't see a problem with it. After years of studying and exams, you have a right to end it with something silly if you want to.
