Haruka Nogizaka
Introducing our new member of staff - Haruka Nogizaka.
Hmmm. She does not seem to wear much either even though its starting to get chilly here in Tokyo. She likes to sit in my chair.
OK, for those who have not guessed, Haruka is actually a Dakimakura cover - and not just any old cover - shes one that comes free in the latest issue of G's Festival!.
Well kind of free - the magazine and dakimakura pack will cost you 48 USD from JList.
Considering that average dakimakura covers cost about 100 USD, tis is a bargain.
And the quality is top notch too. Excellent print but one sided only which is enough I guess.
Mmmmmm. Kawaii. I'm sooo behind on my anime. Have not seen any of the second season yet.
This photo should give you an idea of how silky she is which is important for folks who plan on keeping their dolphin in tip top shape for the years to come.
As for the creases - they disappear after unfolding and hanging up outside the balcony.
Peter has a few left at Jlist.
This months Megami has the usual anime characters prodding their feet at you. Instock at JList for 14USD.
Dengeki Hime packed with the usual eroge news n screenshots of faithful waifu.
Instock at Jlist for 14 USD.
And a look inside Nyan Type - anime stuff including a Strike Witches manga.
Instock at JList for 12.80 USD.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

The last issue i got of 'Dengeki Gs Festival!' was Dec '08 - Waah~ i'm so behind ><"""
With so many variations in the 'Festival' line, it's hard to choose which magazine get a hold of...

That's just one issues from the most current. G's Festival does not have a set release scheme.

How much did you buy G's festival? Because Kinokinuya sells them for $98! What a rip too!

trying to get one of these magazines would be a nightmare in my country. the customs might tear some pages which look naughty or they will put duties on it. Wont even try buying a dakimakura.

Haruka looks incredible. Very inviting pose that will make you want to snuggle with her (and more?) :p
I have 3 dakimakuras so far. Marisa (Touhou), Maria (Hayate no Gotoku), and Golden Darkness (Yami-chan, To Love Ru). I am told by my brother that Yami-chan is the softest (he bought one too XD).
Haven't bought a Dengeki Hime before but I am a fan of Megami and Nyan Type. Maybe I'll check it out sometime.

Ahh. I want some. I remember when I went to Japan as my graduation gift from high school. I bought two manga magazines one of them being Weekly Jump. I was shocked by the sheer quantity a single book brought for such a cheap price. But then I realized it was because of the paper. It felt like the newspaper that gets my hands dirty.

haruka isnt wearing much because she wants me to keep her warm.hurry and send her over

I would love to have a daki, but its not the best idea when you're living under the same roof with other family members. I did have an idea to mod it into a car sunshade. Lets see what I can come up with
Anyway to Danny if you're still browsing this post, can you pm/mail me the info/details bout your glass desk. I'm interested in those as I need to get a desk for my room. Are they Ikea?

I love Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu!!! Such a cute series and it has a reversal of the stereotypical usual (girl is otaku, guy is not but accepts it). I want that just because it's Haruka. Don't care what she's wearing. Adorable ^^
I've been wanting a dakimakura for a while. I need to hug something to go to sleep anyway ^^;
???Confused???
Hm I only have enough for figures for now...ah if only I could get a raise...

Dengeki Gs dakimakuras are convinient but not very good quality compared to 一万円 approximately priced ones.

I almost got this issue and then decided I haven't yet read my last magazine and I don't need another Dakimakura pillow. But sill very cute indeed.

Looks like a nice illustration of Haruka on that dakimakura, prefer that artstyle for her than the one used in the anime.

I tried looking for this issue and was only able to find a "G's Magazine" =( What store sells it?
Carpenter
Other than J-List (Which sold out fast) check your local anime emporium and if your lucky they have a subscribtion and managed to snag a couple.
(I bought mine last night and this morning they were allll~ gone.)

Thanks for the reply man. Actually I was looking for it in local bookstores which didn't have it. Went to akiba and gamers had a stack in the first and one of the other floors and asobit city also had some still.

Having one dakimakura is clearly enough for me. I'm certain this issue will be at my local Kino store soon and while I am tempted, I got to know when to resist. lol
Student
Just got one Dakimakura , I really precious it because it's hard for me to get another .
I have 14 dakimakura covers so far. Two of those came as a 'free' gift with a magazine, (one from a Dengeki Moeoh magazine and one from a G's Festival magazine). Honestly said those 'free' dakimakura from a magazine have a really bad quality imo. The printing itself is good, but the material is low grade and doesn't have a very smooth feeling when hugging/sleeping with the pillow. There's the stitching too. The stitches don't look solid enough for regular use with a pillow and they might risk getting some damage over time.

Funny because I was just watching the series. ^_^ Would love a dakimura of Haruka, preferably dressed though.

I want to buy a dakimakura but because of two reasons I'm unable to.
1. My job hunting hasn't payed of since I moved.
2. I wouldn't hear the end of it if I did. =/

Dengeki should pay you for advertising their product XD
