In the first set of opening credits for _Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl
Senpai_ we see a short scene of Rascal wearing an unusual type of backpack in
a way I have never seen before. [![Rascal from the back, wearing narrow, low
backpack.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tdH22.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tdH22.jpg)

I have only watched the first three episodes, and I don't believe there has
been context for this picture presented. I've never seen such a narrow
backpack before, but I'll assume they exist. Several characteristics strike me
as odd:

  1. By as low as it sits, it is as much as a "butt pack" as a backpack, at least as Rascal is wearing it.
  2. The upper straps are shown restricting his arms. Is he unnecessarily binding his arms, or is that the proper way to wear it?
  3. If the backpack were raised high enough for the upper straps to fit over his shoulders (common for most backpacks I believe), then the lower strap would seem to fit around his upper chest, which also seems unusual.

Is this a real world item being worn the way it is supposed to be?

Is Rascal correctly wearing a real type of backpack?


I believe it's the same type of bag that the other students have, but he is
wearing it on his back, wrapping his hands through the straps instead of
holding it over his shoulder.

I'll admit it looks slightly disproportionate in the photo from the opening.

To answer your question then, I would say yes, handbags like this [are
real.](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00G8E2F1O)
