Wanda chan and resettee appeared in the summer of 2001, and the character designer was responsible for illustrator · manga artist Mizuhira Kunojyo. Mr. Shimotsu draws a new illustration of Wanda & Reset every year to hold one festival in summer and winter, and the illustrations of the two have been used for guide books and panels in the venue.

However, at the winter 2014, "According to various circumstances, there is no official character" Wanda chan & Reset chan "for publicity at this time," Illustrations were not made public.

This is a thing that there was a circumstance that Mr. Dotsujinjodo's physical condition is not good. Because of poor physical condition for a long time, the Wonder Festival Executive Committee decided to have the new illustrator take over the production of the official illustration with disgrace. As a result, it was decided that Ayuma Kihihiko, known for such as "Yotsubato!" "Azumanga Daioh", was in charge.

Although the committee seems to have offered to offer as a suggestion "I will refuse even offering an offer," Azuma accepted this with a single shot. The finished illustration was "sharp touch with edge" different from a warm heart taste like "Yotsuba!", So everyone involved was "betrayed in a good meaning".

That's why Azuma's new Wanda chang & Reset chan.


The one - festival official figure conversion project is progressing quickly, and if it goes smoothly, if it goes smoothly, it will be announced & released at the Wonder Festival 2015 [winter] scheduled to be held on 2015.
