Garter ring & cat-ear maid: Voice actress Sumire Uesaka's "thigh squish" leaves fans swooning — "She totally 'gets it,' doesn't she..."

A photo posted on the official X account of voice actress Sumire Uesaka to celebrate "Maid Day" has become a hot topic online.

In the post, she wrote, "A maid is passing through because it's Maid Day (Sumipe)." The accompanying photo shows Uesaka in a maid outfit complete with cat ears. Her style features a classic maid dress—a black one-piece with a white apron and collar—paired with white knee-high socks and a garter ring. Posed inside a space resembling a double-door closet, she holds one hand curled like a cat's paw next to her face.

Fans have flooded the post with enthusiastic reactions, such as "That thigh squish!! The cat ears are also peak cuteness!!!", "An animal-ear maid... you say...?", "Your cat-ear look is so hairy!!", and "Sumipe totally 'gets it'... she knows exactly where the sweet spots are..." Note: In Sumire Uesaka's fandom, the word "hairy" (kebukai) is a well-known term of endearment used to mean "cute."
