The upcoming original anime Grow Up Show, which has a circus theme, has received its first character pair visual.
This visual highlights Mizuka Tsurumaki and Oka Kawasumi. There are also attributed lines that reveal more about the characters: the former is an apparent circus genius who follows her own path, while the latter is a trapeze star in pursuit of a legend.

The illustration comes from Kurehito Misaki (Saekano light novels’ illustrator), the anime’s character draft designer.
