Anime and manga merchandiser Yostar has unveiled its highly-anticipated mousepad, modeled after a voluptuous character from mobile game Azur Lane.
The company recreated a life-size anime character, Kashino, from the video game and turned her into a mousepad, and needless to say, it has garnered more eyeballs than it should.
Dubbed the Handy Rest Dynamic Mousepad, the item features a three-dimensional life-size rendering of her ample breasts. The breasts are designed to provide support to the user’s wrist as well.
What makes the mousepad so special is its life-likeness, measuring 23.6 by 18.9 inches, with the character’s chests reaching a height of 3.9 inches.
Priced at ¥49,500 (US$479), the pre-order received a total of 1,893 orders when it was made available back in December. This exceeded the company’s original target of just 100 units.
Yostar’s marketing director, Dai Miwaki, announced that the company received ¥93,703,500 (US$905,350) in revenue from the mousepad.
Due to the high interest in the mousepad, the factory has announced that manufacturing has been delayed as it could not get enough material to recreate the breasts of the character.
Miwaki apologized for the delay due to the shortage of soft silicone needed to build the breasts. However, he assured fans that all the orders would be fulfilled.
