"They've been hit with a spell to become super beautiful girls"? Illustration of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" by the author of "Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze" released

On the official X account of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," a support illustration from Hirakawa Aya, the author of "Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze," has been released and is attracting attention.

The released support illustration features Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki), Stark (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi), and Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose), drawn in Hirakawa's signature vibrant and transparent touch. The three are dressed in winter clothing such as scarves, huddled close together, and making peace signs with both hands toward the camera. Drawn with large, sparkling eyes like the characters appearing in "Mikadono Sanshimai," the illustration displays a cuteness in full force that differs from the original series.

"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is an anime work based on a manga of the same name by Kanehito Yamada (original story) and Tsukasa Abe (artwork). It is a fantasy depicting Frieren, a long-lived elven mage who defeated the Demon King alongside the hero's party, embarking on a new journey to understand humans, triggered by the death of her former companions. On the other hand, "Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze" is based on a manga by Hirakawa Aya and has gained popularity as a cohabitation romantic comedy featuring the three sisters of the Mikadono family, who are beautiful and talented but clumsy, and the protagonist Yu Ayase, who is ordinary but excellent at housework.

In response to this post, fans expressed delight at Hirakawa's distinctive art style with comments such as "Stark looked like Niko (lol)," "I could tell immediately from the colors," and "As expected, the lines are beautiful and nice." Additionally, unique comments referencing the content of the works were also posted, such as "Now that you mention it, these three are also choroi in their own different ways lol" and "They've been hit with a spell to become super beautiful girls."
