When talking about isekai anime, several names come to light, but one that can never be missed is KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!). Whether it’s for its hilarious story or charismatic characters, Konosuba! is a hot topic, especially when it comes to creating content. And it is these same characters who are usually the protagonists of all kinds of works. A clear example of these are the following images, where the protagonists are none other than two of the most representative “waifus”, Megumin and Yunyun. In this case, the girls dress like students, who have a peculiarity.
This is what Megumin and Yunyun would look like as Japanese students
For fans of the acclaimed work KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!), these illustrations will delight you. There are several reasons why these are surprising, not only the fact of their quality, but also the fact that the protagonists are two of the most beloved “waifus.” Megumin and Yunyun show a very different version than what we are used to, leaving aside everything related to magic. And now we see them as they would be if they were part of a Japanese school.
As can be seen in the illustrations, the changes are more than evident. Normally, we see Megumin in KonoSuba! with her iconic red cape, pointed hat, black tunic, boots, and magic belt. But now she leaves this aside by dressing in a white shirt, a sailor collar with a knot, and a pleated skirt, giving a neat aesthetic. For her part, Yunyun is known for wearing a pink dress with long sleeves, a pink bow, thigh-high stockings, and brown boots. But now we see her wearing clothes similar to Megumin’s, except her bow is red, not blue. Both also have school bags, completing their distinctive style.
