'Kitaro' and 'Black Jack' toilet paper rolls

I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves:

As you can see, the Kitaro toilet paper roll has printed on it an encyclopedia of strange creatures that appear in Mizuki Shigeru's manga

As for Black Jack, the printed content would seem to be collections of famous lines from the manga.

And just for bonus, apparently there is another kind of toilet paper roll with trivia knowledge printed on it too:

I guess this kind of merchandise is like postcards that come with DVD Boxes : who would seriously use them ? They are too precious !

However, the "Black Jack's best lines" toilet paper would allow comfortable musings in the bathroom... :)

Sorry for missing this comment earlier. I think it would probably be a better commercial idea to make paper napkins out of them. That way you can always find something to talk about with people you don't really know very well over boring obligatory 'social' meals.
