Kuroneko finds herself enlisted with her OreImo cohorts amidst Japanese baseball team the Chiba Lotte Marines, in this rather peculiar collaboration, providing a variety of merchandise for the natural overlap of baseball and anime fans to enjoy.
The Marines merchandise, available from the 5th of October:
Given the content of the show and its distinct lack of baseball, perplexed fans have been wondering whether a contact sport would have been more appropriate…

PR Executive #1: "You know what image this team needs to associate itself with? The oldest and most universal sexual taboo in the entire human experience."
PR Executive #2: "Genius! I smell a bonus!"
Nothing beats going out on the field, screaming "We fuckin' LOVE our sisters!"
It will take some two years for another team to conjecture this hadn't been done before, and inadvertently copy the exploit with similar results.
It's only a universal among the Abrahamic relgions and related cultures.
I don't think so.
lol wut
Welcome to the sister fucking mother fucking grandmother fucking inbred buck toothed island of japs. Except foreigners are fucking every one and they don't even have first dibs on their family members anymore.
Enjoy your sloppy THIRDS.
You think it may be a factor in the quality of anime?
So that means they'll be hunting down Luffy? :3
Suddenly, baseball got a lot more interesting.
I can't believe my Marine can be this cute!
Semper Fi
Fitting that the most loyal would join the Marines. Oorah!
The most loyal would come up with a plan to try and reconcile them with the ones they have suspiciously low-level feuds with.
Semper Fi brother only the best join MARINES!! just like Kuroneko :) OOORAH!

or imagine an improbable crossover with Pauley Perette
For a while I thought only Ruri had heterozygotic pom-poms there.
Kuroneko's pose is so hot
In Japan there is a huge overlap of Otaku who love baseball.
Acquired taste? Most are probably only watching the extra innings though.
Pleas tell me they're called Bataku.
that would be great.
Manami a shit
They couldn't secure the rights to either "Yosuga no Sora" or "Aki Sora"? Well, I guess this will just have to do then.
My Kuroneko can't be this sporty!
Ayase is such a fucking angel! XD
Ayase is clearly the best girl now. The headline should be "Ayase Joins the Marines".
Wouldn't be a headline, because that's probably what she's been doing with her handcuffs for a while already.
Marines?
They don't have Tokuchi, Lyacons ftw.
And here i was hoping for a pinup style kuroneko as a military idol.
all of my yes!!!
When I saw the title of this article, first thing in my mind is, Kuroneko joined the U.S Marine Corp? LOL
Ayase my wife
Ayase4lyfe
Doesn't matter, because he marries his sister.
You can't escape that. It already happened.
I would understand a Track & Field promotion, but not baseball....
Forget the baseball part, just focus on Chiba.
That's what they were thinking most likely.
(They live in Chiba if you didn't know)
Track and field is already considered the queen of sports, so it doesn't need any.
She should join the Yokohama Baystars!
The dads' fashion advice proved decisive perhaps.
Kuroneko <3
Seeing as I have no knowledge of Japanese baseball teams, when I saw the title Kuroneko joins the marines I was like WTF!?
Since OreImo support the Marines, and the Dragons has Erio Touwa on their side, which light novel is gonna support the rest of the NPB teams?
Apparently "catcher in the RY" is out of contention.
I'd crush any opponents with Kuroneko cheering on me like that.
There isn't really any overlap with Oreimo and trains either but people like that.
I saw the title and thought it meant the marines as in military. ;o
It's great seeing Kirino-chan plastered on other merchandise. Sigh, the feels.
Baseball sucks.
^From the north side of Chicago eh? I feel your pain brother.
