The whole thing went live today when fans were drawn to a report regarding this year’s exclusive Anime Festa anime. Shueisha posted new cast for the show, and well – brace yourselves. The anime is titled Caressing the Nipples of My Hibernating Bear.
Now that we’ve processed the name, you can see fans are sharing their reaction to the title on social media, and it is going as well as you might expect.
