Unfortunately for closet otaku seeking to avoid having their creepy purchases exposed to the eyes of friends, families, neighbours and postal workers (and in some particularly unfortunate cases, customs), not every online retailer is sensible enough to employ plain cardboard boxes and uninformative labels.
Japanese otaku recipients share some of the worst “delivery terror” they have struck with:
“Bishoujo game (lolicon) – adult PC software”:
“They’re not pantsu so it’s not embarrassing! Drama CD”:
“They’re not pantsu so it’s not embarrassing! Campaign”:
Strike Witches seems to be a particularly egregious offender, although the title of practically any eroge or ero-manga printed on a box is sure to spell disaster.
Fortunately, most online sellers seem to recognise the value of the brown cardboard box in preserving the recipient’s privacy.
What If it was one of those live size porn dolls wrapped in plain cellophane..in full nude,…
“Child porn” lol!
840 was an awesome Nanoha doujinshi, no reason to be ashamed of owning a print copy.
Moe packages aside, wouldn’t the ones with straight hentai pics be stopped before shipping?
Dunno how the mail system works in Japan, but I think there’s regulations as to what you can display outside the box…
The one labeled Child Porn is just ridiculous… the sender should’ve been taken to the police on point.
About the ones with onna holes, I wonder what’d happen if it was on this side of the world. I’m guessing a lawsuit for personal injury could even come up.
They flat out say “child porn”? What in the world?
