Professional female cosplayers are some of the sexiest women in Japan, yet they tend to be confined to conventions and such events. Likewise, gravure idols are fixtures on the pages of weekly magazines but don't usually venture to cosplay events.
While various cosplayers moonlight as gradols -- Enako being a very successful example -- their two worlds are somewhat separate, or so it seems to us at least.
It might be because gravure favors women with large breasts and fuller hips, which might limit options when it comes to cosplay (certainly more mainstream cosplay, though the more adult ...
This is the grim reality for Comiket if you are a cosplayer. Sure, if you're a popular cosplayer like Enako, no doubt you get your own team of staff to help manage the crowds, but for the amateurs and the small fry out there -- of which they are many -- you are nothing more than a toy or meat to be haggled over, parsed, and lensed by the snapping cameras of hordes of male visitors. And all at ultra-close proximity.
These two pictures widely shared online have once again revealed this situation, this time at Comiket 97 held at the end of December at 2019.
As is clearly visible, the men are ...
As we know, Comiket is less about comics and more about cosplay. Specifically, female cosplayers.
Stars like Enako can attract huge crowds (and money).
But even lesser-known female cosplayers can pull in a strong audience, though, as one example from the recent Comiket 96 showed, this phenomenon can have unpleasant consequences if you are not prepared or don't have adequate minders.
In a video that has since gone viral (nearly 4 million views as of writing), a Chinese cosplayer found herself on August 11th surrounded by a mob of men with cameras who refused to make space for her. Instead ...
Over three days last weekend, the 94th Comiket was held in Odaiba, Tokyo, attracting its usual crowds and online attention as much as for the fair content as the attendees.
The weather was good, so ero-cosplayers were out in forced, dressed to various extremes of skimpy. So what's new? Nothing much, but we reckon we might have found two of the skimpiest cosplay outfits on display at the event.
This cute catgirl cosplayer (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya cosplay, for those in the know) came about as close to showing us her paipan pussy as she could while still ostensibly protecting her ...
Enako is one of the most popular (and diminutive) cosplayers in Japan. Her legions of male fans will do a lot and pay a lot to take her photographs, buy her merchandise, and admire her latest poses.
And now they can get a little bit closer to their goddess. Or at least, they could.
At the December edition of Comiket (Comic Market) in Tokyo, Enako's own (almost life-sized) dakimakura hug pillow was on sale at the Animate Group Booth.
The dakimakura was priced at the reasonable ¥12,000 before tax, available on on a first-come, first-served basis. The pillow measures a 160cm ...
Condoms in Japan are an underused breed, judging by the rampant venereal disease and unplanned pregnancies.
As such, condom brands try all kinds of wacky campaigns to get young men and women interested in using their products.
This also includes free giveaways. Earlier this year, Tenga gave away complimentary condoms to newly enfranchised voters at the House of Councillors election.
You might be forgiven for thinking that otaku are the demographic with the least need for contraception in their lives, but you would be wrong. That is, if Comiket is to be believed.
A booth at the ...
Adult virtual reality has been one of the major stories of the year, from Japan's first adult VR event in Akihabara to a virtual omorashi system that allows you to experience wetting yourself.
Even the recent Comiket was not safe from the influence of adult virtual reality.
First seen at the Akihabara event, the VR sexroid Nanai -- a blow-up doll that you can have sex with as an anime girl in virtual reality -- was showcased on Sunday to the curious public, fresh from enjoying the hordes of slender and sexy cosplayers outside in the blazing heat. (We're not really sure if Nanai ...
Over the weekend, Comiket 90 was held under the scorching sun. Cue the ravishing display of sweaty and semi-naked bodies of young, nubile cosplayers, plus a whole host of lenses to snap away at these tempting ladies...
While there were no reports of insane fishnet stocking sunburn like last year, here are some of the highlights from the event.
Due to work on the Tokyo Olympic venues, part of the Odaiba location was shut off so some of the outdoor area where the cosplayers usually gather to pose was shut off. We really hope that the preparations for that boondoggle in 2020 don't ...
Kotaku has shared a story about what may be the "longest hug pillow in the world".
The dakimakura in question features human-snake lady Miia from the anime and manga Monster Musume, which is an ultimate masochist fantasy.
Of course, the hug pillow cover matches Miia's long, slivery body with its length, which could strength down between floors! 7 meters (22.96 feet) of hug pillow glory!
It was popular with fans, selling out (it was only made in a single batch, surely?) when it went on display at the recent Comiket in Tokyo, priced ¥100,000 ...
Being a cosplayer can be painful.
But some ladies view looking cute and sexy as more important than their health.
At the recent Comiket 88 (August 14-16th), one cute cosplayer wore fishnet stockings and drew a lot of attention for her leggy charms.
Ayane Maro was doing cosplay of Misa Amane from Death Note.
However, there was a serious side-effect to wearing fishnet stockings on such a hot day.
