Okay, let me tell you about this Dazai plush that's basically taken over my couch. At 20cm, it's the perfect size - not too big to be awkward, not too small to lose in my blankets. The short plush material is SO soft, like petting a really polite cloud.

I initially got it as a desk companion, but surprise - it makes an amazing lumbar pillow! The PP cotton filling keeps its shape even when I lean against it during marathon gaming sessions. The stitching around his signature coat details has held up impressively well.

What surprised me most was the quality of small features. His little hat stays put (unlike some cheaper plushes I've had), and the facial embroidery gives him this perfect smug expression that cracks me up daily. My cat keeps trying to steal him, which I'm taking as a quality endorsement.

After two months of being squished in backpacks, used as an impromptu stress ball during work calls, and surviving accidental coffee spills (oops), he still looks brand new. Definitely lives up to the hype in those glowing reviews!
