First serialized on January 29, 2020, Miki Yoshikawa’s (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches) A Couple of Cuckoos rom-com manga is officially three years old now. So to help commemorate the occasion, fellow mangaka Aka Akasaka, best known for creating Kaguya-sama: Love is War, completed a color illustration of main girl Erika Amane to appear in the ninth issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine.

 

Akasaka noted Yoshikawa’s collaboration with Oshi no Ko and contribution to the Kaguya-sama: Love is War fanbook, and that it was the first illustration he had completed in a while.
