Love at first sight: the Rilakkuma forest by Re-ment

Do you believe in love at first sight? We do, especially when it comes to Re-ment, the Japanese kawaii miniatures that sometimes we even regret taking them out of their boxes (but we do it anyway).

In our part of the world, it is a long time since we talk about him, if we exclude the parenthesis of the smartphone version.
