New LINE stickers from ねじ式 / Nejishiki and 檀上大空 / Danjyo Sora are now available on the LINE store! The pack is called “コイビトモダチ / Koibitomodachi,” which is an amalgamation of the words “koibito” (lover) with “tomodachi” (friend).
These stickers depict a shy (if slightly yandere) Yuzuki Yukari feeling closer to her friend, wondering if she’s falling in love. Imagine your LINE conversations having the vibe of a schoolgirl love story!
On Tianyi’s official Weibo, she announced today a collaboration with Mirinda in a rather unusual but enjoyable way: through a comic strip! See what they announce below!
[Busy with rehersals for BML, Luo Tianyi wasn’t feeling so great, so Mr. V took her to Mirinda Land to help her relax.]
Panel 2:
Tianyi: “I’m beat from all the fun we had today. Huh? Why does the fountain behind me smell so sweet?”
Mr. V: “Looks like you can drink from it. Here, I filled a can of it for you to try.”
Panel 3:
Tianyi: “Wow! Isn’t this Mirinda litchi flavored soda? Don’t mind if I do!”
Panel 4:
*Sip*
Panel 5:
Tianyi: “Wow… what is this boundless joy that I am feeling? After I finish drinking, I feel like my whole body is filled with vitality!”
Panel 6:
Litchi: “Surprise! We’re rooting for you at BML!”
Tinayi: “Thank you so much Mirinda! I’m so moved! I love you all!”
Panel 7:
[All this time, it was a surprise planned out by Mr. V and the litchi]
Litchi: “Our plan worked perfectly!”
Mr. V: “Awesome! Tianyi looks so happy!”
Panel 8:
[Everyone sings and dances by the fountainside, raising their cups and drinking as if lost in an aromatic, fruity paradise]
Panel 9:
Tianyi: “We hope you’re all fired up! Tianyi will be joining forces with Mirinda at BML, and are preparing a really nice surprise for everyone! Please look forward to it!”
Panel 10:
*Whisper*
Can you guess what Tianyi and the litchi are discussing?”
