Doki Doki is a monthly Kawaii subscription box from Japan Crate. Every month you’ll receive super cute Japanese items – accessories, stationery, plushies, and other adorable Japanese goodies.
Meow!
Love this cover art by Taxikun! And those little cat/vampire teeth!
Each crate comes with a manga-style booklet to help you figure out what each item is (that means it’s bound on the right side instead of the left!).
The theme this month is Cat Theme. Cats are obviously the most kawaii of creatures.
The middle of the booklet contains all the information about the items. It can’t be a cat box without PUSHEEN!
There’s a little comic and more fun cat stuff!
Everything in the September Box! Such Neko cuteness!
Pusheen Laptop Decal: Doki Doki started this box off right with not one but TWO Pusheen items! My daughter loves Pusheen as much as I do and she’ll be so excited to put this one on her laptop!
Pusheen Roulette – Subscribers received either Pusheen Beanie, Cat Ear Beanie, or Double Pack of Exclusive Socks. I was happy with the Pusheen beanie – I have one, but aforementioned child appropriated it. Now we can match!
Here’s a photo of the socks some subscribers received!
And the cat ear beanie!
Shikakui Koneko Coin Purse: This roomy coin purse is super cute – and acts as a bag charm, too! There are eight styles – I was happy to receive the cute black and pink cat but they’re all adorable!
Meow!
Most importantly, they have tails! I thought this was an adorable item and good for more than just change! I’m thinking of storing my earbuds in them, which always get lost in my big tote.
Neko No Hajime No Ippo T-Shirt: The title of this shirt means “the cat’s first step” and it illustrates a sweet little kitten learning that she can land on her feet!
It’s super cute. My daughter loved the last shirt in this subscription and loves this one too. I think that the shirts are a great addition to this box. I like the unusual off-center style too. 
Monthly Hoppe Chan Keychain: We love Hoppe Chan! This month she’s Neko-Chan – a sweet glittery kitty!
She has beautiful pink crystals for cheeks, a glittery lilac bow…
And an adorable tail! 
Julie is the latest character in Doki Doki’s exclusive plushie line! “This classy and fashionable kitty will bat her long eyelashes into your hearts!” “She enjoys long brushing sessions and getting her nails done!”
Doki Doki Exclusive Julie Plushie: Julie is certainly a pretty kitty with those big expressive eyes and rosy cheeks! Her hat has the cutest flower accessory too!
Julie sports a fluffy white tail and the sweetest little mod cat! But how do I say this politely? Julie’s fur is a bit of a hot mess. Something to do with the sealing process for shipping.
From Doki Doki: if you wish to return your Julie, we are offering a $7 credit to your account that will be applied on your next renewal. Please contact our team at [email protected] with subject line Julie Plushie Return for details on returning your Julie plush.
I don’t personally consider that necessary – it’s still cute enough and just the right shape (kudos for doing a full-body plushie) that I tucked this one away as a Christmas gift for my daughter.
Who can say no to adorable Neko? There seemed to be fewer items in this month’s box than last month, but I think that’s understandable given the fact that 2 licensed Pusheens were in the September box! I really do like the addition of the monthly shirt, and I’m looking forward to seeing some BIG versions of Hoppe-Chan in the future (here’s to hoping!). She’s definitely a fave!

Comments
I’m not sure what size shirt to add to my subscription. Would you say they run small ? I’m a size small – medium 34 C. I’m not sure what size to get.
They are unisex size so I wouldn’t say they run small!
