Much has been made about a female masturbation bar that recently opened in Tokyo. But looking at their gun racks of state-of-the-art self-pleasuring technology, one has to wonder if the inequality has swung the other way.

Despite all the advances made in pleasuring devices made for women, guys are still left with pool jets, central vacuum outlets and socks. Well fellas, there are some companies looking out for you too.

Tenga is one such designer, devoted to cutting down more morning wood than an Amazonian rainforest logging contractor. In fact their efforts have earned them their own fan-based independently made comic series, otherwise known as dōjinshi. Behold the future of masturbation. Behold Tenga Hero.

In our report yesterday of Comicup10, Shanghai’s largest dojin convention which took place on May 27, we mentioned that the impressive turnout of both dojin circles and fans suggests a bright future for otaku culture in China.

Yet it was the coplayers—or “cosers” as they call them—that stole the show. Not only did they seem to make up roughly half the attendees, but the quality of their costumes expressed a devotion to and adoration for Japanese pop culture that made us feel proud to be neighbors.

Check below for a collection of our favorite cosers photos from Comicup10!

While many products of Japanese culture are internationally recognized, otaku culture surly boasts the largest and most enthusiastic group of followers. It seems like on any given day, somewhere in the world there is a convention celebrating anime, manga or some other facet of Japanese geek culture—the sun never sets on the Otaku Empire.

We recently returned from one such event, Comicup, a large dōjin convention held on May 27 in Shanghai that is said to be China’s largest.
