Because the cast of Prison School would just hate for things to get all wet and dirty.
Recently, we’ve seen a couple of anime series get their own lines of officially licensed lingerie. We’ve also seen multiple releases of undersized underwear designed to be slipped over a drink bottle to soak up the condensation from the chilled beverage inside. So perhaps it was inevitable that we’d one day see anime character panties for plastic bottles.
And that day is today.
Novelty goods maker Kitan Club, the company that previously gave Japan sushi cat figurines and futon-style smartphone holders, is teaming up with risque anime and manga franchise Prison School for its new PBP, or Prison School Plastic Bottle Panties and Underwear, collection. But whereas the lingerie lines for fellow anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Evangelion, and Sailor Moon took cues from the image colors of its prominent characters, the Prison Break panties go one step farther by being modeled on the underwear their representative characters are shown wearing within the anime itself.

The female characters’ panties are sized to fit snugly but comfortably around the bottom of a 500-mililiter (16.9-ounce) bottle, the most commonly found size in vending machines and convenience stores.

In addition, one male member of the Prison School gang is getting in on the action: plus-sized Andre, whose extra-large briefs are intended to wrap around a two-liter bottle.
Surprisingly, Andre’s undies aren’t any more expensive than his female classmates’, as each pair of Prison School plastic bottle underpants is priced at 490 yen (US$4.40). The whole line initially goes on sale at the Animega specialty shop in Tokyo’s Odaiba neighborhood, and is expected to make its way to anime retailers elsewhere soon. Pick up all six, and as long as you’re willing to let your cold beverages go commando on Sundays, you’ll be set for the week.
