Wait, It's Not Fan Art, It's the Official Artist Himself!? Imigi Muru's Recreation of a Viral Meme with Chisato & Takina from "Lycoris Recoil" Becomes a Hot Topic

An illustration of "Lycoris Recoil" using the composition of a currently explosively viral meme has been published on manga artist Imigi Muru's official X account, sparking major discussion.
The published image references a three-panel comic template posted by Jok Wonger (@Min_tramcam) on April 4th. The original meme features a composition where one person enthusiastically gives a thumbs up, another calmly points something out, and ultimately both end up with straight faces looking dejected. In Imigi Muru's illustration, Chisato Nishikigi (CV: Chika Anzai) is drawn on the left side, and Takina Inoue (CV: Shion Wakayama) on the right. In the first panel, Chisato is leaning towards Takina with a beaming smile and thumbs up, but in the second panel, she's met with Takina's calm gaze, and in the third panel, both have expressions of emptiness and straight faces, depicted in a comical manner.
