Following the previous year, the cover is newly drawn by Kuma-Neko Sensei, a popular BL author known for delicate artwork and gorgeous world-building! Matching this year's theme, 'Professions I wanted to be when I was little', Chil-Chil's official character 'Chiruo' is dressed as a police officer, and 'Dias' is dressed as a scientist.
Furthermore, this time features a gorgeous specification where the cover changes depending on the booklet!
