The latest edition of Dengeki G's Anime came out yesterday and had a load of goodies including my first oppai mouse pad - today we will proactively use the word "oppai" instead of "eyes" to avoid confusion ^^;

Could not find a copy to pre-order anywhere online and started to panic ^^;
Managed to reserve it at a local bookshop - cost was 2,980 yen.
Ones wrist rests between her oppai in her tanima ("Tanima" [谷間] = "cleavage") and is surprisingly comfortable ^^;
Not only is Haruka-chans oppai great for the wrist - it also acts as a desk pillow too!

Many people take quick naps during work in Japan - saw many at Amazon and Microsoft. Dont know the nitty gritty details behind taking a quick nap and what it does for the body but having a nap in Haruka's oppai must do wonders.

Anybody here take naps during the day?
BTW, sleeping during the day is called "Hirune" [昼寝] in Japanese and literally means "Afternoon/Day time sleep."
If you want to make a good impression when you meet business clients, you can offer your business card sandwiched between Haruka-chans oppai like so.
I'm sure that some folks maybe able to sandwich other objects between her oppai too.
When I'm stuck on a bit of code, I find my self poking at her soft oppai which stimulates my synapses and then leads to me solving problems quicker.
There is one drawback with the oppai mousepad - instead of grabbing the mouse I end up grabbing the right oppai...
...and sometimes the left oppai.
Satellite shot of the Haruka oppai mousepad - would you use this at work/school?

When asked "what does your work involve?" you can say "I squeeze oppai all day long."

And before I forget - Haruka Nogizaka OP below for those who don't know about the anime - on your watch list?
And when I'm not looking, the lads start to tease Haruka-chan.
This copy of G's Festival Anime also comes with some other goodies - bubble stickers and badges.
A quick flick through whats inside. Haruka getting her oppai massaged on the cover.
The gorgeous MM - cant wait for Kemeko Deluxe to start next week.
The term "Goal in" means to "Get Married" in Japanese - same terminology in your region?
Haruka poster.
Kemeko girls.
Clannad After Story which also starts to air next week.
Toaru Majutsu no Index which also airs next week. More cute girls in the trailer below. On your watch list?
Tora Dora - airs October 1st. PV below.
A Toaru Majutsu loli licking a loli.
Tsundere character Mikoto Misaka from Toaru Majutsu.
Just started to read the brilliant manga of Kemeko Deluxe.
Need more MM figures.
This copy has a Heroine Gran Prix - which is your fave?
Haruka Chan?
Louise?
Musubi?
Lala?
Miyafuji?
Kyouka?
Or Kanu?
Nnnn? Whats all this then?! Find out at the official Good Smile site.
First time here?

LOL at the review about the mousepad! xD
Nice review about the other parts of magazine, and thanks for reminding me that fall anime will start next week and I need to clean up my HD space *ehem*. ^^
About the poll, even though I answered "No but will at home only", I'm still not sure if I could use it at home. xD

If i ordered an oppai mousepad at my lcoal JP hobby shop, & my friends found out, i'd be shunned and be labeled as a hentai-otaku who strayed too far ^^;

but will an oppai mousepad help with pc gaming ? i mean, it's surely nice to relax your hand at something... XD

LOL at photo#22248, does look comfortable though ^^;
I take my 1hour power-nap in daily basic, it does help to recharge your mind, give it a try. But during the begining, it's a bit hard to wake up from just 1 hour & will ended up saying this by the time you're awake: "What time is it now? Oh SH!t! I missed my dinner!"

Well, I don't think I'd use an oppai mouse pad at school/work....maybe after I work a little on the idea I could do it. On the other hand, using it at home it totally fine. I actually ordered some month back the Yoko oppai mouse pad from Hobby Search, which I should get soon....hopefully, need to wait for the order to be completed. It a huge order, almost 500$ in figure. x_x

But when I saw your previous post about the Haruka oppai mouse pad, got a pre-order of it just to realize yesterday when you posted about having acquired it, that I actually ordered wrong magazine, so had to cancel order, searched around for it and finally managed to find it on amazon.jp and luckily they ship it outside of japan. So, I should get my own Haruka and Yoko oppai mouse pad soon. ^^

lol I never thought I'd be reading a review of a mousepad on DannyChoo.com. ^^; I'd love to get one but am at a loss as to where to put it. can't use it at work nor at home. and will probably end up giving it away as a gift. ^^
lol on your hirune. ^^; btw was wondering about "Goal in". do both men and women refer to getting hitched/ married that way? oh btw you should do a post on Japanese Weddings. I have a feeling there's more to it than just saying "I do" ^^

Easy answer for me, Lala. I also will never use a mouse pad like that, just doesn't look cool to me.

We need more magazine reviews. xD Just added To Aru Majutsu no Index to my watch list; seems interesting. It joins a list of basically half the anime coming out. >_>

As for the mousepad - I'm sure I'm going to get carpal tunnel syndrome someday, but I don't use a mousepad. I have a nice, normal wrist-padded mousepad, but it restricts my moment so I don't bother any more.

Damn it I have to get myself an oppai mousepad soon. That is one great review, Danny. Love the mousepad, and the mag review too XD... 

I would definitely use it at home, at work, and even bring it out to starbucks just for show ^^ That is the best mousepad I've ever seen. 3000 yen for a mag and an oppai mousepad is such a steal!

That has to be the best review of a mouse pad I have ever read. I would almost be tempted to use one just for that pad alone.  I can't wait for Tora Dora though, I love the manga, so the anime should be a treat.

I'll have to keep an eye on Kemeko Deluxe and Toaru Majutsu no Index.  They sound interesting.  I'll wait until after the first episode or two of each airs though, so I can decide which one to spend my time on. 

I don't know most of the girls in the heroine grand prix, but Louise is so awesome that I think even if I did know the others I'd probably still pick her. 

"Goal in"? XD Definitely don't say that here! The most common euphemism I hear is "getting hitched."

Almost crapped my pants with Danny "drowning" on Haruka's oppai.

Didn't start watching it yet, though I already got a couple of episodes.
Will give a detailed look tomorrow, since it's already 4am and I'm almost keyboard-sleeping here.

If only I had an Oppai mousepad...

Haruka in a wedding dress makes my heart pitter-patter...she's just so cute and lovely...sigh !

Would probably go for Yoshika if forced to make a choice, although that makes me feel bad for the other girls in the list. It's hard for me to pick favorites among loved characters/shows

Damn, that Dengeki looks like such a yummy magazine...but it'll probably cost a fortune to import here and probably will come without the goodies...But seeing this, I feel an urge to really start remembering my hiragana and kanji...plus the meanings of what I read ^^.
BTW how is the contest tool coming along? Wouldn't mind winning an oppai pad.

absurdity aside, mouse pads cushions are really useful in practice. i find my wrist aching after a day's work in front of the computer, and always lament the lack of a proper wrist cushion. 

but man, gotta love that "in your face" shot. if anything, you should come up with more "unorthodox" methods of testing your safs...

When the heck do people find out about the availability of these magazine any time someone mentions something about them I go check and poof already sold out.  I guess you have to be really quick on the toes to get these magazines.  As for the napping stuff I work at night and occasionally I'll take a quick 15 minute nap if I start to nod off.  It definitely feels refreshing afterwards.

i have a oppai mousepad from a previous issue of Dengeki G. the surface was kinda rough so do make sure to squeeze it often to smoothen it. ('~')

i do take a half an hour to an hour rest after my lunch at work. not a nap, i just put myself in screensaver mode. ^^;

I just had a great idea for the input device of the future! It's like an oppai mousepad but instead of clicking on the left or right mouse button you have to squeeze the left or right oppai. Sliding your eyes between her eyes will replace the scroll wheel. Additionally there should be some sort of touchscreen at the cleavage, throat and face area to move the cursor.
I should call a patent agent! @_@

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is on my watch list. In my opinion the anime itself is just above average but Haruka and Miki are too cute to resist. I will watch Toradora! and the new season of Clannad too.

The anime character design of Taiga looks a little bit like Chiaki (Minami-ke) to me. ^^

I really Liked Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, I switched to watching it when I got bored of To LoveRu. I would use that mousepad at home, I'd like to order it when it becomes available if it isn't unreasonably priced. Those new series look interesting, just put them on my "to check out list". I Favorites were Haruka-chan, Musubi-chan, and Kanu-chan (though still haven't got around to finishing it). Lastly I don't really feel sleeping unless its after a big meal, either lunch or early dinner.

When I sustained a wrist tendon infection some years ago I had real trouble using a mouse. Since I would always crush the inflamed tendons against the desk surface I got one of those wrist gel pads and I haven't stopped using them since. I always take one to work and at home I even use an extra wide eXactRest from Razer (came with the Razer eXactMat mousepad ).

The one I take to work is a model with only the wrist gel pad, no mouse mat attached to it, so it's roughly the size and shape of a mouse so I see many people mistake it for the mouse. XD

Would I use one of these? Sure! ^^

for some reason Nogizaka Haruka's popularity seems artificial to me. I think people 'want' the pretense
so bad that they are willing to accept anything that comes their way. 
ecchi + otaku girl is a win win situation? although doujin work didnt seem to do as well as people thought it would.

Thing is, in doujin work I can't really see the girls as fanservice material, except for maybe Sora for the lolicon but even that doesn't appeal (there are other better lolis). Nogizaka Haruka seems to be way too good; a super hardcore female otaku that is moe and pretty and all kinds of fanserviceable? I find that hard to believe, I think Fujoshi Rumi depicts how a femme otaku looks more accurately.

Haruka certainly doesn't seem hardcore at all, much more a beginner-otaku of sorts. She'd never even been to the Akihabara or the Comiket whilst living nearby to Tokyo! Even Ogiue at first would've been more indoctrinated in Otakuness.

I picked up one of these at Akihabara Gamers the other day.  They had it advertised out on a board right in front of their store.  Though, the mousepad is going to my brother.  I would never live it down if I used that at work.

The book that comes with it is very nice as well.  Worth the $30 I think.

I watched a bit of Nogizaka Haruka but it was pretty dull and generic. They didn't really play up the otaku aspect well enough to distinguish it from other romantic comedy series. Greatest female otaku in anime is still Konata, IMO.

The only oppai mousepad I want is the Yoko one from GL. I would use an actual mouse for my laptop if I had that mousepad, lol.

The item is sold out at Amazon Japan!! Damn me for being stingy !! I was waiting for the the Dengeki G's Comic due to be published at the end of this month, and have them shipped together for cheaper shipping cost... But now it's out of stock already!!! sob, i want my mousepad...!!

Guys, do you think this thing will be restocked at Amazon?? any of you who used to shop there can inform me about this, please... because if it won't be re-stocked, ever.. I think I'll run straight to Kinokuniya to buy this... at a ridiculously marked-up price (double to the price in Japan).

Need help ASAP guys, thanks.

The show in question I have not seen but find this rather delightful in seeing the mouse pad. I do have a to agree that would make a wonderful pillow for a nap. This article is also informative in that I learned a new word for a nap. Thank you for this article. I hope that mouse pad helps with your programing.

Well...I already have 5 oppai mouse pad, and they are better than Haruka's one for sure. One of Chua Churam, other of Chiyu Nakauchi, other of petanko Ymir, other of Kousaka Tamaki(from dengeki deluxe 2) and lastly other of Noumi Kudryavka( dengeki deluxe 3). I think the petanko oppai mouse pads better than the big boobed ones(Chua Churam nearly killed my right wrist). Noumi saved my wrist with her tsurupetan. Surelly I will pass that volume of Dengeki Festival, as that mouse pad do not pleased me( if it was a Haruka illustration from Shaa - i would have bought it long ago ^^). Will save that money for another cool mousepad, like the one of Hibarigaoka Yuki.

i don't care if both Haruka nad i are both girls. i would get one of my own. i'd even try the business card thing. i'm not so sure about the nap in her bosom, but if i'm really tired, i'll probably end up doing so.
