I own a pair of Pikachu salt and pepper shakers. I've never used them for their intended purpose, so they're purely decorative

This week's poll was suggested by Masae. Do you wear any clothing associated with anime/manga? I only have a Pikachu beanie for snowy conditions, and people loved it when I wore it in Hokkaido.
