"Official, what are you doing? lol" Fans flood with comments on Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama's "Gosho's Frieren" featuring a Frieren plushie on his shoulders.

On the official X account for "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," a photo of Gosho Aoyama, the creator of "Detective Conan," was posted with the caption "Gosho's Frieren," causing a massive stir.

The released image shows Mr. Aoyama with a mischievous smile, striking a playful pose as if giving a shoulder ride to a Frieren plushie by holding its legs on top of his head. In the background, a wall covered in vast research materials, manga bookshelves, and a framed illustration of the protagonist Conan Edogawa can be seen, making it a precious shot that offers a glimpse into his actual workspace.

In response to this playful post, fans flooded the comments with affectionate retorts like, "Official, what are you making him do? lol," "What a thing to do to such a legend lol," and "She doesn't belong to Gosho lol." There were also enthusiastic requests for a crossover, with comments like "I want to see a collab manga, Sensei!!" Some fans even posted a scene from the anime where a jealous Fern hugs Frieren tightly, making the reply section incredibly lively.

"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is an anime based on the hit manga by Kanehito Yamada (story) and Tsukasa Abe (art). It follows Frieren, a mage who defeated the Demon King, as she embarks on a new journey to understand humans following the death of her former companion, the Hero Himmel.
