Strawberry Jubilee is 15th Anniversary
What was the significance of strawberry 🍓 to the latest manga issue? Was it strawberry sauce on Finnian’s hands? It turned out to be blood as the Phantomhive household fought the young earl’s enemies on Chapter 180. I realised later that it means 15. Yana Toboso’s “Artworks 1” carries the image above left and the mangaka illustrated it for GFantasy’s 15th anniversary in April 2008. “Strawberry means ichigo in Japanese, hence 1 (ichi) and 5 (go).” From the German translation of the original Japanese:
“Da es aus vielen Elementen besteht, habe ich einen simpleren Zeichenstil (Anime) gewählt.”
(Since it has consisted of many elements, I have chosen a simpler drawing style {anime}.)
