“What Are We Going to Do With This?” Store Sells Anime Girl Condoms and Otaku Don’t Know What to Do
Japan has started selling Anime Girl Condoms, basically the adult game series Sengoku Koihime has released condoms featuring the series’ girls printed on the packaging.
The promotional item sparked a wave of humorous comments, because no one thinks they will actually end up using it, and I also think there aren’t many women out there who would want it either.

Originally released in 2024, the official Koihime Musou product consists of a condom box decorated with the heroines from the visual novel. In addition to the themed outer packaging, each individual unit also features illustrations of the characters.
“I had heard rumors about this, but seeing it for real made me laugh, who would even use this man?”
The discussion started when a user on X commented that they were surprised to discover the product actually existed. The post quickly went viral and led other fans to share their opinions about the item.
Among the most popular reactions, many joked that people who buy Koihime Musou condoms probably don’t intend to use them. According to several comments, the product works much more as a collector’s item than something meant for practical use.
Some fans revealed they purchased the edition as soon as it was announced and keep it only as a decoration piece or franchise souvenir. Others said they simply bought it because they found the idea funny and unusual.
Posts on social media showed a curious consensus: for many collectors, the value of the product is in the packaging and the exclusive character illustrations. Because of that, many people said they would never open the box, such as the fan below who bought 3 boxes:
Even years after its release, the item is still remembered as one of the most unusual promotional products tied to a visual novel. The recent resurgence of the topic shows how unusual merchandising can still generate attention among Japanese fans.
But I bet you’re curious to see what the condom packaging actually looks like, right? Check the image below—each pack features a different girl from the game, pretty cute, isn’t it?
Imagine pulling one of these out and a woman sees it? What would her reaction be?
Koihime Musou is a Japanese adult visual novel series that reimagines the Sengoku period (Japan’s era of warring states) in a different way. Instead of historical generals and warlords, the game turns these figures into cute girls and mixes military conflict with romantic routes and adult content.
It also has some non-adult anime adaptations.
