Nijisanji's Beloved "NijiNui Pastel" Series Returns, Sparking Fan Frenzy

The popular VTuber group Nijisanji has announced the release of "NijiNui Concept Series Vol. 3," a highly anticipated plushie collection among fans, generating significant buzz, especially on social media platform "X." The announcement that 13 new Liver members would be added to the "NijiNui Pastel" lineup, with their adorable new designs, has been met with an outpouring of joy from fans.

Sales are set to begin at 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 16th, at Nijisanji's official online store, "Niji Store." As its name suggests, "NijiNui Pastel" features designs primarily based on pastel colors and boasts a "fluffier texture" than standard NijiNui plushies. This release presents familiar Livers with softer expressions and a fresh aura, attracting attention not only from existing fans but also from those who might be acquiring NijiNui for the first time.

On social media, numerous enthusiastic comments have been posted, such as "Isn't this too much supply!?", "It's NijiNui Pastel! So cute!", and "The long-awaited Pastel!" Many comments specifically highlighted the subtle changes in the Livers' expressions. Concrete feedback included, "Shu looks like I've never seen him before, lol," and "I thought his eyebrows were sharp, but this time they have a gentle curve, truly leaning into cuteness." Opinions welcoming the overall design change, like "Their new faces are so soft and cute..." were also prominent.

Meanwhile, fans whose favorite Livers were included in the lineup expressed explosive joy, with comments like "I've been waiting for Akina's NijiNui Pastel!" Fans eager to collect multiple plushies shared "happy screams" such as, "If I get carried away and try to collect them all, my wallet might cry out in agony." Furthermore, fans of Livers not yet featured in the "Pastel" series voiced their anticipation for future releases, saying things like, "Please release Hiba soon..." and "I want Pome-chan in Pastel too 😭😭😭😭."

Given their adorable designs and pleasant texture, a fierce battle is expected on the launch day for "NijiNui Pastel." Fans are likely making thorough preparations for the sales launch on May 16th.
