Sakutarou is not a furry. A furry is an anthropomorphic animal which retains more animal-like features than human ones. (Fur/snouts/claws/horns/senses etc.) xD;

While it is common in anime for characters who were originally animals who turn human to retain some factors (usually only the ears and/or tail), they usually lose all their fur and turns to skin and thus can't be called "furries".

Sakutarou's "magical" form is a lot more human in apparance. Only animal factor of him is his ears. If he was a furry he'd look more like this.

While shota is one of the proper things to call him, I dunno what else would work. Cat-boy maybe? I dunno. He techniclly wasn't actually an animal in the first place so...

I mean really why would you want one?

I agree 100%.

[Renall]

Pretty much every animal-girl in Umineko is on the "safe" end of the furry continuum. The closest you'd get are the goats, actually. Well, that one goat had a sister, so I guess that counts...

why there arent so much male dakimuras ? maybe because there arent so many girls that feel the urge to sleep with their favourite characters, but does that mean they dont watch anime in general?

its not like Umineko sells better with them anyway

maybe but dakimura with a shota would be made for MALEs as well, i was just saying because just like theres so much lolicons in Japan theres also a lot of shotacons, and they are guys not girls

just where was Keiichi popular? also all the merchandise of Higurashi i saw was 2 figurines one with Hanyuu and one with Rika btw...

Hate to butt in late, but.. you seem to be missing Marion's point. The point isn't some sexist thing against girls, it's the fact that there are FAR more openly anime-loving males in Japan then females. Males also tend to buy the merchandise far more. That's it.
And Umineko, while having a general audience, is much more likely to have males buying it than females for that very reason.

Also, some girls do buy dakimakura, but the fact of the matter is that they sell less because less Japanese girls watch and buy anime than Japanese guys. This is, of course, not true in America, but America's girls are different from Japan's based on maaaany things. You can't automatically think that the fanbase type will be the same over there.

Oh, and Umineko's dakimakura DO help sell it just a bit more, when the quality's decent. I considered buying Note 07 for Lambda/Bern.

Just so you know, there is a LOT of Higurashi merchandise. There are quite a few figures, definately more than two.. There are also stuffed animals, artbooks, misc. items, cards, and, yes.. dakimakura. I think they did Rena, Rika, Satoko, Mion, and Shion in season one, then double Rena in season 2, and then Shmion, Satoko, Rena, Rika, and Hanyuu in Rei. Keiichi was also not included in almost all official art, and half the ones he was in, he was very.. background.

Ya, and a lion is a feline, which means a lion is also a member of the cat family. =3

Plus he's not a real lion. Just a plush one.

Here is another USO DA yonkoma:

Spoiler for Episode4:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

I'll copy and past it from my blog:

This will be the last yonkoma for a while, that means you won't see one next week nor the week after.
There is a reason for that. The most attentive of you have probably already noticed: each strip ends with a different character of the story saying "USO DA". It was my plan from the beginning to do one for each one of them and no more than that. At this moment I have almost completed that task. To clarify: I only do that for characters that have a portrait in the novel excluding the magical versions when they are not substantially different from the original.
There are 3 new characters in EP6, but I will only do their USO DA yonkoma after the english patch comes out, and then there will be more after EP7 and EP8, but that's far in the future.
Now maybe someone at this point noticed that I never did one for Bern. Well... that's because I have Bern's one in mind since a long time, but that will be the very last strip to conclude the series, so you won't see it until the english patch of EP8.

Now don't despair. As someone suggested in the comments of "Witches & Woodlands" I'll take this chance to do more playable patches like that. So it's not that bad in the end, is it? The only problem is I can't promise how many of them I'll be able to do and how fast, also I'll take some time to study the programming codes more in details.
Untill then, as Battler and Ange would say: See you again!

[Aebliss]

Awww. :-\ I'm actually feeling sorry for that goat.

...

Aw, cripes. >_< I need help! Someone pour me a big glass of cynicism, stat!

[HanaeXMermaids]

Today I drew Jessica on the 1st Twilight on Ep 6 !
This time much better then the Siesta 45 >__> Because this is drawn traditional!
And I know that the feet are strange xD I'm bad at drawing feet when standing before me!

Spoiler for Ep 6 : Jessica ( 1st Twilight ):

[Beatoriiche]

Just wondering, would anyone have the original of this image? Thanks in advance~

[Aebliss]

About the feet - just remember that every part of the body should point in roughly the same direction, joints and the position you're going for allowing. You need to work on the face a bit more, make it wider.
Nonetheless, good effort.

zomg
if by " FAR more openly anime-loving " you mean some fatass otaku no life's then i agree, there are more males like that than females...
but you cant say there are more male anime fans than females in general because in Japan things like manga anime and all of that shit is part of everyday life, lol
also dont say something a fact without providing any evidence
but okay i can see, dakimuras are made for specific people and i know a lot of girls would want a bedsheet with their favourite character but not half-naked and sexually suggestive like the ones for otaku and at the same time the ones that Deen makes... on the other hand that wasnt even my argument lol...
and for hanyuu's sake stop talking about america dammit, i never compared it to anything in the first place. all i know is that americans publish manga in a shitty way and that their dubs sucks XD
blah blah

Just so you know, there is a LOT of Higurashi merchandise.

i never said theres not

Spoiler for why do i only post Ange recently?:

Now maybe someone at this point noticed that I never did one for Bern. Well... that's because I have Bern's one in mind since a long time, but that will be the very last strip to conclude the series, so you won't see it until the english patch of EP8.

wai...wha...?... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *cries tears of despair*

The stereotype they had in japan in the 90's for otaku was very wide. Mainly it had to do with the idea that otaku had no lives because they revolved around cartoons. It's not a positive title. The stereotype even went so far to suggest them as being rapists and pedophiles.

But when Anime became popular in the west people called themselves otaku without knowing that it was a derogatory term in Japan.

Did you ever watch Chaos;head? That's a good example of the stereotype there, but I think you can also find this information on wikipedia.
