Lycoris Recoil Unveils Fall-Themed BD/DVD Volume 4 Cover

Studio A-1 Pictures’ original Lycoris Recoil anime released a fall-themed jacket cover for the fourth volume of BD and DVD. The product compiles the eighth and ninth episodes and is scheduled to be released on December 21, 2022.

The newly-unveiled jacket cover was drawn by the original character designer Imigimuru and depicts the series’ main characters dressed for chillier weather; Chisato Nishikigi (left) is sitting and Takina Inoue (right) is standing. They are surrounded by pumpkins, which give the illustration a Halloween feel.
