The TV anime The Vermilion Mask has revealed a special Halloween illustration drawn by original manga artist Nabana Naba. Released to celebrate the spooky season, the artwork features protagonist Peru in a lighter, more playful setting than the series’ intense battle-driven storyline.
In the illustration, Peru sits cross-legged on a giant, glowing jack-o’-lantern while flashing a peace sign. His mischievous smile and the handwritten “Happy Halloween!!” message give the artwork a cheerful atmosphere. The pumpkin also features a letter “K” and a face reminiscent of Kero, adding a small detail for fans to notice.
The official announcement presents the illustration as a seasonal treat for viewers following the ongoing anime adaptation.
