This illustration was part of a unique project for the covers of "Weekly Shonen Sunday" magazine's September 2023 issue, where connecting two consecutive issues forms one complete image. Fans have enthusiastically responded, "Truly a divine collaboration from Sunday!" "I thought they were about the same height LOL," "Such a wonderful combination," and "Typical of Lady Frieren to effortlessly carry an elementary school student with just the strength of her arms."
