This weekend, artist Bunbun (Yuki Yuna original character design, Fire Girl, Fate/Grand Order), who may or may not be series illustrator abec (almost certainly is) was busy retweeting the cover art for the new Sword Art Online novel 17. Previously noted, Leafa and Sinon are back in the spotlight. Left out however are a pair of girls who have long been asking for more deban (screen-time)! Still, failure hasn't killed their dreams.
