Either way, the idea for the busty anime girl mousepad was born, and in the years since there have been countless offerings that combine an illustration of a popular character with a pad strategically placed under the chest area, in order to protect the user’s wrist ligaments from excessive strain.
Long ago, some visionary designer looked at the pillowy, supportive curve of a wrist-support mousepad and thought “Hey, that reminds me of a busty anime girl!”
Or maybe it went down the other way, and that same designer was of a more peculiarly chaste mind and, while looking at a picture of a busty anime girl, began daydreaming about mousepads.
However, in the newest otaku-oriented mousepad from Hobby Japan, the character’s chest area is a completely flat drawing.
