Retro-Anime Key Visual mit Protagonist und Begleiter

Official key visual and [Japanese anime magazine cover] for a fictional anime, featuring the character from the reference photo paired with a newly designed, compelling protagonist. - Characters & Dynamics: The character from the reference photo is depicted with high fidelity to their face, hairstyle, hair color, eyes, and outfit.
