An eroge rag’s decision to bundle a free pair of “scented” pantsu with every copy has lately been causing waves, with reactions ranging from cheers of enthusiasm to the suggestion that its buyers should all be arrested.
The fact that some stores have been encouraging potential customers to take a sniff before they buy has aroused even more comment…
The rag in question is the June issue of PC Angel neo, which in a marketing collaboration is offering three sets of (artificially, it would be hoped) pre-scented shimapan – “Fresh,” “Floral” and “Passion” – one randomly selected pair being enclosed with each issue.
One Akihabara shop has been displaying all 3 sets whilst inviting potential buyers to sample them – apparently some have been doing so.
According to one buyer, “in the part of the pantsu in contact with a woman’s delicate parts, there’s a bit which has a fragrance mixed in.”
The online reaction is mixed:
“This is messed up!”
“Arrgh”
“Gross!”
“I think it would be best just to arrest the buyers now…”
“Put a stain on it and I’ll buy it! Otherwise, no thanks.”
“What sort of smell?”
“Don’t you just think Japan should be destroyed?”
“What kind of freak gets excited about unused pantsu? Unused pantsu are just scraps of cloth.”
“They have that sharp smell then?”
“The stain is more important than the odour.”
“Be sure to record the buyers in a police database…”
“Photograph them all, it’ll come in handy later.”
“This is why we end up with bans…”
“Scented they say. The scent of a woman or of washing powder?”
“Now otaku and hikikomori are just being made light of.”
“Even a creepy otaku like me recoils at this.”
“This should be banned – go Ishihara!”
“They probably buy them to wear.”
“If you think about some middle aged guy at a factory spraying these with scent and then shrink-wrapping them you have to laugh.”
“Don’t say that!”
“You’re saying they aren’t made by having some schoolgirl wear them!?”
“I’d rather have sukumizu. Do it.”
“Only 2D shimapan do it for me.”
“If you are so iron-hearted as to be able to take this to the register, you’re already ready to confess to a girl.”
“No girl would wear something like this.”
“Anyone who buys this in a normal shop has my respect.”
“An ona-hole might be acceptable, but anyone who onanises whilst sniffing pantsu is already finished I think.”
“Won’t all the buyers be 2D fans? Who wants this?”

“Only 2D shimapan do it for me.”
I have to agree.
lol well nextime we see a picture of a shimapan
Scratch'n'Sniff Shimapan!
How about an actual model representative then see her remove it front of would be buyer.
good idea. but then there will be more who's against it.
Count me there.
Hell no, the only shimapan for me is the real kind, fresh off the loli. Good thing I have a fresh supply readily available... NIIiCE.
What will you do when your sister finds out you're stealing her pantsu and tells mom?
If the colorful lingerie depicted above were official Hatsune Miku merchandise (complete with sweet leek fragrance) I guarantee the reaction would be different than them just being regular ones...
Better yet, they should just put up a sale of differently ones unique to each and every famous anime girl...
I........would exhibit a similar reaction if it was Hatune Miku's.
They already come in Miku, Rin and Luka colors!
Agreed... The allure of shimapan for me is the fact that it is covering the area of interest.
All this outrage when not long ago it was possible in Japan to buy real used pantsu FROM A VENDING MACHINE!

and chilled too. Refreshing to put on your head in the midst of a hot summer under the blazing sun!
oops, was logged out for a minute...
Japanese. They know how to market stuff.
I'd buy it for teh lulz...
Liar.
You're gonna use it for a pantsu hat, aren'tcha? :3
I wouldn't buy it. But then, using it for pantsu hat would be great, so I would buy it.
i wouldn't buy it. i don't think i could live with myself if i got pre-scented panties from a store, rather than have them as a trophy from my sexual conquest.
Pantsu hat add 9000 defense points
better than chainmail bikini xP
i would. i'll give it to my girlfriend and make her wear it. she'll be fragrant and happy LOL
Yeah, guess that works too...

Japan=Simply Amazing
Lolz And I thought I saw everything
But their severely mistaken if they think that those desperate idiots who by underwear and otaku that play eroge are the same.
Aside from being awesome I think this would actually serve as a deterrent against potential buyers.
2D>>>>>>>>>>3D
Kinda want?
I totally want. One of each. Good thing for my bank account this isn't in the states. I'd buy as many copies as I had to in order to get all three....
'' Kinda want '' is exactly what crossed my mind. With that said, can these be purchased online from shops that ship internationally ? ( Though, stock is likely to be gone soon .. )
Do wants to know as well! Someone do inform! :D
The design looks good, I'd buy it for the aesthetic value. I'd buy it for the novelty value too and it comes with a reading material too.
Or looked another way you get a hat with your book.
Then your mother goes into your room
yeah i too just love the stripes infact and you're going to call me a freak for this but i prefer fresh shimapan cause that's what i like the panties not the fact they've been worn.
All otaku buyers should have 3 of each pantsu: one to use it, one to keep as a reserve and one to show it to your friends!
This makes nine! Three for each color.
No wonder that mag already out of stock so fast due to one person buy nine! Darn!
"gotta catch 'em all" indeed
So it smells like tuna...MEOWW
A wild Pantsu appeared.
Go! Ishihara!
Ishihara used Ban.
It's not very effective...
Wild Pantsu used Funky Scent.
It's super effective!
Ishihara fainted.
Otaku used Harden.
Shopkeeper used Glare.
Otaku is too scared to move...
Shopkeeper got ¥??? for winning!
Police has appeared!
Police chooses K-9 unit.
Otaku uses Hide.
K-9 unit uses Sniff.
Otaku was discovered by Sniff!
Police used Cuffs but missed.
Otaku has escaped!
Anonymous lolz at Megidola's comment.
Not enough MP.
i highly recommend using the Start New Game function in this situation, because life has no save function.
OMFG
WIN anon comment
it's cliché.....
Very win
this is one fetish i just don't get. what good is 3d pantsu without the girl... if yr just gonna rub one out then wouldn't a tenga be much better?
I don't think you understand what a fetish is. A person with a panty fetish is able to rub one out with a pair of panties because they invoke an erotic response that's similar to looking at tits and ass. Also, one can choose their fetishes no more than they can choose their sexuality.
“What kind of freak gets excited about unused pantsu? Unused pantsu are just scraps of cloth.”
^ exactly
anyway, I was feeling like crap til I visited sancon, thanx all ^^
I srsly lmao
It's called a fetish, dude, and there are far worse ones out there.
i have to address this comment
“This is why we end up with bans…”
can someone please write there in their native language (2ch speak, not normal japanese) that the reason they have bans is because they are fucking pussies who refuse to fight for their fucking rights.
Is it me or the mangas are just too small or those panties are large enough to fit your grandma's overaged hips..?
Anyway, if it really has that smell, they probably just used this.
