Always Check

When shopping for goodies in Akihabara (for example) always double check before you buy.
For example, this seems like a harmless cute mini dakimakura that comes with a doujinshi for 2,415 yen.
Akibablog has more pics of whats inside the doujinshi and the official site (NSFW) for this product shows you whats on the other side of the dakimakura - scroll to the bottom of that page...
Now that you know whats on the other side of the dakimakura, would you still want one?
If you bought one by accident, what would you do with it?
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.

After the horrific images have passed from my mind (Danny, you are teh devil), I'm left wondering what do people do with those mini dakimakura.

OMGWTF trap! Well, if you're into that sorta thing it might be a nice surprice, otherwise a rude shock....always check both sides kids ^^

Heck, I noticed the "hidden" dolphin the second I clicked on the link for the bigger picture. Although I would much rather prefer some male dakimakura, futa is just not my thing. @_@ That is a girl, right? I'm assuming from the extra pictures from the doujin, it was more than just a trap.

Maybe one can cover both the interior and exterior of the other side of the dakimakura with opaque tape. >_<
But personally I'd take the doujin, get the image from the site, and burn the entire thing WITH FIRE!

Little piece of useless otaku culture here: Those are called "Futanari".

Yeah, I can't say I'm disgusted by this. It helps that the artist is a favorite. Futa is the least of the hentai evils in my view. Much love for it.

I will put it on ebay for sale if I accidentally bought this ill thing. Or give to one of the female friends, and that will be the best gift.

I'd probably get one and pin it to my wall and make people wonder why I have a dolphin pillow cover on my wall.

Lol at the store covering the dolphin part of the girl with sticker/notes. Such a trap.
On a side note, I'm a fan of futanari; just not a fan of over-sized dolphins & eyes.
So yes, this would be a do not want.

http://feidamu.wordpress.com/
I wouldn't mind, seeing as I'm a fan of futanari (weird fetish, but I'm not gay). As for the reverse side, maybe I'll just stick a large piece of fabric over it. Plus the artwork of the doujinshi is very nice, so in summary: WANT.
Sports guy
That's so funny. I can just imagine the look on some kids face when he gets home all excited and find that.
Curious though is futa dojins popular with both male and female otaku? Might explain the giant veiny dolphin.

Why are the people over on Akibablog so surprised over this? AskRay is rather well known for this specific type of content? Did they actually think they would be getting something other than loli-futa?

I would doublecheck both sides before I would buy anything as I don´t want the image to be to messy, which in this situation would be the case.
If I had the interest I wouldn´t mind it. If I had bought it and alter found out it looked like that I would have signed and then hope that noone sees the other side of the dakimura...
