The oncoming advent of Senran Kagura: Estival Versus in the west has been receiving attention by way of a humorous live action skit that many are finding cringe-worthy despite its apparent spot-on accuracy, with it even potentially snagging a few dakimakura sales in the process.
The live action trailer, highlighting a man’s relationship with his dakimakura:
The previous live action piece:
Apparently the live action series has yet to conclude, with more dakimakura romance planned to make viewers more uncomfortable than ever – Senran Kagura: Estival Versus and its shinobi sexiness can be had March 15th in the US for the PS4 and Vita.
it’s a parody but I also understand people who really live like that. They have the guarante that their “girlfriend” will never betray them or gets angry at them. In essence it is all about the fear of losing someone. That’s why they cannot just have a relationship with a real girl who is a black box full of surprises. Good and bad ones. On the other hand they have to think for two people now. Their “girlfriend” can only be what they put into it mentaly. That means a huge portion of stress to keep this relationship alive and because they are dating in essence with themselves their relation will lack what makes living together with another human so interesting. Risks, surprises, joy and pain.
I was interested in knowing the eastern reaction to this (you guys used to post translation of the 2chan comments for this kind of thing)
