Welcome to the March 2019 Cuddly Octopus update! We’ve got a few things to share with you this month, so let’s dive into it!

First, we’ve partnered with Japanese-language learning gurus from kawaiiNihongo to sell a cover of their two mascots. If you’re interested in learning Japanese, these guys have a fun iOS and Android app to help you do so. Feel free to check them out and give them some love for supporting us!

Second, we’re adding a few Monjashop covers to our catalog this month due to popular demand for them. This isn’t the first time we’ve partnered with Monjashop to handle perpetual releases for some of their older designs and it certainly won’t be the last. Check out over here to see all of Monjashop’s designs we stock!

Finally, we’re back and expanding into a new product category with our collaboration with Merryweather. This month, we are launching a trial offering an IE & Chrome-chan poster exclusively on our store (only available to NA and EU customers). Merryweather has been asking for this stuff for several months now, and we’re interesting in seeing how the community reacts to expanding into posters. There’ll be more on our collaboration with Merryweather in the future!

That takes care of most of the special announcements we have. Without further adieu, let’s get into our cover releases

So this February, we have updated our store with the following 9 designs:

Happy Holidays, everyone, and welcome to the Cuddly Octopus December 2018 update! ‘Tis the season of giving and our gift to you is a generous helping of new and cuddly companions for you to spend your winter season with and even a festive tapestry to adorn your walls. Perhaps now is the time to pick up your loved ones a silky smooth friend, so they, too, can enjoy the warmth of a dakimakura beneath the bedsheets. And while you’re at it, gift one (or three!) to yourself to endure this chilling winter weather. You wouldn’t want to be left out, too, no?

Regardless, we hope you enjoy our seven new cover designs and single new tapestry. Check below for all the new designs making their way onto the store this month.

Welcome to our September 2018 update! Last month you may have noticed we had a surprise addition to our shop. We want to formally announce over here now that we’ve partnered up with Merryweather Comics as their official merchandising distributor, helping them sell their latest product—a Nyarla dakimakura cover! If you haven’t seen their web comic series around, you should definitely go check them out! Expect more products coming in the future from our collaboration with Merryweather.

In slightly less awesome news, orders from the July order period are experiencing a bit of a delay. It seems our factory is working through a bit of a backlog, but July orders should be printed now and are undergoing our QC stage. We expect that they should ship soon, within about a week or so.

Onto the fun stuff!

This month, we will be adding the following 7 designs to the store!

Welcome to our July 2018 update!

First off, we want to appologize for our downtime last month. We had some server issues that managed to take our website down for a couple of days. We’ve taken steps to make sure that any possible downtimes will be minimized in the future. Sorry for any inconvenience our downtime may have caused!

Other than server woes, administratively we don’t have anything to announce this month. Instead, let’s get right into the fun stuff! This month, we will be adding the following 13 designs to the store, along with one new tapestry.

There isn’t much to go over administratively this month. We will be switching back to UPS for shipping covers to the US. JCEX hands the delivery over to another courier, which means that the tracking numbers were frequently not being updated after the transition. As such, shipping costs have increased slightly to $22 for 1 cover and $29 for 2 or 3 covers. Additionally, due to their incredibly long width, we will need to begin shipping our tapestries separately from cover orders.

As for the fun stuff, this month we will add the following 9 designs to the store.
