In an unexpected twist, an illustration of Takina Inoue of “Lycoris Recoil” has caused a sensation on comment boards in Japan after an unusual error was discovered in the image. The company Hobby Stockknown for organizing pop-up stores of products related to popular franchises, was in charge of displaying the illustration at one of its recent events. However, what caught fans’ attention was not the quality of the artwork itself, but a surprising error: Takina Inoue was drawn with two left feet.
This type of error is extremely unusual in illustrations from major franchises such as “Lycoris Recoil” and has generated a large number of comments and memes on community forums. Fans and followers of the series have expressed their surprise and amusement at this quirk, and some have speculated about how it could affect the character’s history in the future. The controversy and humor surrounding this illustration have once again demonstrated the passionate and committed following that “Lycoris Recoil” has in Japan.
Community comments reflect a variety of reactions, from laughter and surprise to clever theories about how this quirk could fit into the series’ plot:
- «Oh my god, I was just looking for a woman with two left feet!».
- «I know they’re going to scrap all the products that show your toes and remake them again, but that’s quite a bit of economic damage.».
- «Those kinds of things are delicate, so they will be fixed immediately».
- «I assume he lost one of his legs in battle, and I assume it’s someone else’s transplant.».
- «I just discovered that both legs are now left feet».
- «How complicated it is to discover this when there is only a week left until the event, when all the products are probably already made».
- «What the hell? Maybe the main illustrator was busy or had taken the day off».
In the end, the company issued a statement saying that they had detected the error and that, unfortunately, the event would have to be delayed indefinitely:
- «The Lycoris Recoil POP UP SHOP has been postponed due to the discovery that the illustrations on some of the products were incomplete. We sincerely apologize. The event schedule is currently being adjusted and will be announced on the website below as soon as it is decided».
