thats a rip off

of what?

The price is a rip-off.

Actually Japanese people split the digits in group of four.
Your `ALWAYS' is plain wrong.

Am I the only one that thinks it strange that a working woman can't afford a pet for Flanchan while an idle shrinemaiden and a NEET can?

If she was being paid to work, then yes.

so THAT'S where they keep getting them.

Maybe they are wild ones...Or it's Tewi behind it.

I don't think a yukkuri would be durable enough for Flan. It wouldn't last five seconds.

Alice isn't exactly a NEET, she's a dollmaker. I'm sure she manages to pull in alot of money in conventions and such, and blows them all on stuff like this. Just like how real-life otaku somehow buy figurines costing obscene amounts of money.

Reimu obvoiusly just mugged someone for her Yukkuri.

51000 Yen? That's around $550! Talk about a ripoff... more so if we remember that Sakuya's a tightwad.

It's not atypical for cats/dogs to cost that much or more. It's a bargain for a pet that's also intelligent.

For a certain value of intelligent, yeah.

For a certain value of perversion you mean? Gives an entire new meaning to giving head, and knowing some otaku/touhou fans... O_O;

I spat out my soda at this.

I would save up and buy one. Probably a Patchouli, Cirno or Chen one.
