A nineteen-year old university student was in the college library when he got a message from his mother.
“Super Sonico hug pillow has just arrived” it read.
The student was obviously very ashamed claimed he wasn’t sure if he should go home or rather fling himself into the nearest river.
Japan’s embarrassed men buying ero manga or ero geemu (erotic games) are frequently defeated by the retailer’s over-enthusiasm for nice packaging, resulting in attractive boxes decorated with images of the featured otaku idol and the like, and making any attempt at secrecy impossible!
Japan’s netizens have not been kind to the guy after he shared his dilemma onlline:
Move out!
It’s certainly not the kind of room you can bring a girl to have sex.
Cases like this beg the question, what happens when the mothers of Japan’s legions of otaku find their son’s precious collection of idol toys?
