This scene garnered comments such as, “Yoroi-san’s arm twirling is so cute,” and “It’s soothing to see the kind Yoroi-san and the cute Chiikawa characters together.” There were also many comments expressing concern for Yoroi-san, wondering, “Isn’t Yoroi-san going to eat?” and “I hope Yoroi-san gets to enjoy some too.”

"Chiikawa" is a popular manga posted on X (formerly Twitter) by illustrator Nagano since 2020. It won the Grand Prix at the “Japan Character Awards 2022” and again in July 2024 at the “Japan Character Awards 2024.” The gap between the cute, tiny characters and the severe worldview has attracted widespread popularity from adults to children, and its followers have already surpassed 4 million.
