I mean if so a pillow is alright because well, you sleep on them and stuff I guess, one can get used to the creepy 12 year old's face staring into your soul as you dream quasi-draconian dreams but the only time I've ever seen a body pillow was when someone linked me a video from worldstarhiphop of a black gentleman quite literally getting it on with said pillow.
I had no idea they were an actual "thing". Now that I do I assume pretty much everyone who wants anime/manga related memorabilia is likely to want one (not necessarily for plonking), imagine how many of them you could sell with the amount of people that are fascinated by and worship Asian culture(s). And judging by the fact the that calendar costs like 20 quid I imagine the "bigger" things like those body pillows for example must be quite pricy.
How interesting.
