K-ON! Mio and Yui dakimakura

The online shop of Kyoto Animation, the studio that animated “K-ON!”, is listing a Mio and Yui hugging pillow for pre-order. Due out in October, it is labeled as a jumbo cushion but the typical 150cmx50cm size clearly makes it a dakimakura.

While one side of the pillow cover features Mio, the other side has Yui. Both the illustrations of the shy bass player and the happy-go-lucky guitar player are very cute but rather benign for a hugging pillow.

As you can see from the C.C. or Mariya hugging pillows, those feature more suggestive imagery in comparison.

No doubt Kyoto Animation decided to keep it family friendly, which is not surprising considering the rather explicit nature of some of the unofficial “K-ON!” doujin dakimakura that have seen the light of day.

Still tempted to get that C.C. dakimakura, but alas pre-order reservations are pretty much closed and budget wise, it’s a bit steep as well.
