Lycoris Recoil is an original anime series that was produced by A-1 Pictures and has a very peculiar premise, as well as one of its main characters, Takina Inoue, who has a very formal personality, is very confident and meticulous in carrying out her missions. However, despite that way of being, she has a very particular characteristic and it is the way she wears her underwear, which caused a furor among Lycoris Recoil fans, since a figure released by GoodSmile Company successfully replicated this feature of Takina.
A collectible figurine imitates Takina’s peculiar way of wearing lingerie from Lycoris Recoil
In Lycoris Recoil, we see a scene in which Chisato realizes that Takina wears a boxer, so he makes it his mission to get her more modern clothes by taking her shopping, but this does not go as Chisato plans, since, Takina demands him to show her clothes and not very willingly, Chisato ends up agreeing. This became very emblematic among Lycoris Recoil fans, who already recognize Takina for this characteristic, so when GoodSmile Company released a figure of this waifu, it surprised the fans quite a bit.
And, clearly, fans thoroughly reviewed the details of this product to verify if it met the same characteristics they remembered of the character in the Lycoris Recoil anime and the result pleased them quite a lot, being that this figure was shared by the user @itakomai on Twitter/X, who also commented the following: “Just when I thought she was wearing underpants as expected from Good Smile, the underpants came off and the pants came out. As you can see, the underpants have minimal parts in the front and back, and the part that peeks out from the skirt is meant to make it look like she’s wearing underpants, according to episode 4.”
The funny thing about this article of the Lycoris Recoil waifu is that you can choose what to leave her with: whether with boxer shorts like the ones we see her wearing in episode 4 of the anime or with white ones, a bit more modern that fans assume are the ones Chisato chooses for Takina, so we can say that it is quite faithful to the anime. Other fans expressed their happiness at this product commenting things like “Great attention to detail… I can feel the love for the work”.
