New T-shirts are now available that combine Yoshirō, the hero of the manga All Esper Dayo!, with Tenga, a popular Japanese sex toy brand. Tenga makes several appearances in the series, and the 2013 live-action TV adaptation is famous for a sexy scene between Yoshirō and Sae.
Above, the gravure idols Ami Tomite, Anna Konno, and Airi Shimizu model the shirts (and Tenga). They play Akiko, Mitsuko and Shizuka, respectively, in the live-action film adaptation of the drama. Customers of the T-shirt can also fill out a card to apply for a lottery with a single winner. The lucky winner gets a special prize package: a T-shirt signed by the three idols, a Deep Throat Cup Tenga, and a limited first-edition copy of the All Esper Dayo! film on DVD.
The T-shirts cost 3,240 yen (US$29) and can be bought here or at Tenga Shops (ages 18 and over only). All Esper Dayo! has also been adapted into a live-action web series. Tenga's increasing popularity (and commercial prowess) was recently demonstrated at a fan-made commercial contest. Anna Konno also recently starred in a soup commercial that got her all sweaty.
