Otaku are being supported in their battle against what they see as the unfounded bias against relationships with 2D characters, exemplified by the glamourisation of relationships with real women visible in events such as Valentine’s Day, by a not unlikely ally: top doujinshi retailer Mandarake has devoted its flaghip Akiba store’s famed show window to an exhibition of all the best 2D wives an otaku could hope to collect.
The event, branded “an Anti-Valentine’s smoke signal”, unsurprisingly opened on the day of the chocolate marketing event itself, the 14th, but is set to continue until the 27th of February, so lovelorn otaku will yet have time to attend.
The exhibition itself takes place in the first floor show window of the “Mandarake Complex“, a store which offers everything a ronery maniac could wish for, from dolls to doujinshi, spread across no less than eight floors. Those attending can expect to raise their power levels to notorious levels by the mere act of their pilgrimage, although buying a harem would obviously help.

No 2D husbands for the (albeit small) crowd of female or gay otaku?
Well, not like girl otaku would need one anyway, they are a limited commodity amongst males, and always look good despite their proclivities or dress.
Maybe the displays will change for white day.
Damnit, now im even sadder cause I have no one special for valentines and I cant go to this event D:
Icy-nee-san, will you be my valentine?

Pilgrimage for the ronery soul of an otaku...
It's funny to replace l with r because when Asian people speak they sound like they say r and we NEVER butcher any language ever. HAHAHAHAAHAHA I'M SO FUNNY! My 11 year old cousin agrees.
I see Rosario+Vampire girls there.
Sigh...this reminds me of my roneriness
dang i want all of them
sad just sad.
Want a LOL FAG
If only I had the money Lol. Anime>Reality
hmm. I was there on the 14th but didn't know it's something special. Mandrake always have strange things up in their show window.
I didn't know about this until reading your post. I'll definitely go and see this, next weekend.
On that note, a belated Happy SAD (Singles Awareness Day). At least the money I didn't spend for dinner, movies, and the hotel room for my non-existent girlfriend will be well-spent on several of those dakimakuras. T_T
Ronery....i'am so ronery...nobody rove me... but i have pillow waifuuu ooooh.(kissing,hugging and humping)
Ronery maru is ronery. This is genius.
Dakimakura vending machines,BRILLIANT!!!.......

Wish I were there. It might me able to console my ronery soul.
And here I thought that was what you're right hand was for.

I definitely agree with your there exia theres just so many that if i get pissed off or tempted to grab one i'd follow in suit with exia on this one
Isn't that Mandarake?

That's awesome. There are never enough dakimakura around normally.

No, 2D heaven on earth.
LOL showing "2D wives" like that look a lot like in the red light district in amsterdam where pros****** show themselves through windows. I don't think I would like to see my wife being seen like that by thousand of people.
