"Chiikawa," the beloved creation of illustrator Nagano, exploded onto the scene in 2020 and quickly became a global phenomenon. With its unique style, the TV anime adaptation has captivated audiences everywhere, making it a universally adored franchise.
Just last month, Nagano took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce his lucky win of a Nintendo Switch 2! He celebrated with an illustration featuring the popular Cow character from "Mario Kart Tour," showcasing his undeniable love for the bovine racer. But hold up – his latest comic, depicting his "Mario Kart Tour" struggles, has fans buzzing with one burning question: "Is he ditching the Cow?!"
It was only a month ago that Nagano snagged his Nintendo Switch 2, and his celebratory artwork proudly featured the adorable "Mario Kart Tour" Cow. This character, beloved for its charmingly goofy looks and surprisingly strong in-game performance, has become a go-to pick for many players.
His latest comic, a lighthearted slice-of-life piece, stars Nagano Bear (the artist's avatar) hilariously battling it out in "Mario Kart Tour's" survival mode. He's all smiles, but clearly getting absolutely bodied!
(Looks like Donkey Kong might have had a field day!)
Initially, Nagano Bear was hyped to play as the Cow. But as the races went on, something felt... off. His conclusion? "This character is totally trash!" So, he made the executive decision to swap out the Cow and continue his challenge with "Mushi."
Who knew his passionate Cow obsession would end with such a brutal "You're trash, I'm switching!" Fans couldn't help but burst out laughing at the dramatic turn of events.
Of course, some fans playfully jabbed back, "Why don't you ask yourself about your skill, Nagano-sensei?"
From his epic "Switch 2 win" journey to his current "it's definitely the character's fault!" excuse, fans are finding Nagano's "Mario Kart Tour" saga both hilarious and endearing. The big question now: will he ever return to the loving embrace of his beloved Cow?
