There is no doubt that the anime adaptation of “Makeine: Many lost heroines!”remains one of the most relevant and discussed series of the season Summer 2024 (July to September). However, the most recent episode became a trend for striking presence of the character Karen Himemiya, who has a considerable pair of breastsand a curious detail that was presented in the episode's final credits.

During the Tsuwabuki High School Festival, Kazuhiko Nukumizu walks around the school. Karen Himemiya suddenly comes down the stairs and falls on top of him. After helping her, Kazuhiko helps her carry some boxes to another location. Karen shows interest in getting to know Kazuhiko better.

Between the previous scene and the following ones, where Karen appears dressed in a succubus outfit (or something similar) that once again highlights her breasts, the anime does not hesitate to do some close-ups for the viewer's amusement. While some immediately took to social media to discuss the matter at the end of the episode, others were left enjoying the final sequence until they discovered a surprising detail. An artist position that stood out from the rest:

  • Karen Himemiya Breast Coordinator: Takafumi Torii.

What should the “Breast Coordinator” do? Little is explained about the subject and not even the production wanted to talk about it. In fact, it was Takibi Amamori, author of “Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!”, who took to social media to publicize the subject, writing simply: «The work that all men aspire to».

However, Takafumi Torii wasn't the first name they came up with just for fun. He's a prominent animator affiliated with A-1 Pictures. who was in charge of episodes in projects such as “Kaguya-sama: Love is War”, “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES”, “Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale”, among others.

Additionally, in “Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!” he was also responsible for the key animation for the popular opening sequence. With the above, we can state that the role of “Karen Himemiya's Breast Coordinator” implies that Torii was in charge of the animation sequences involving the character's magumbos, possibly from the sketches to the handling of the physics.

Even so, the detail did not go without comment:

  • «Dad, I've decided that I'm going to make a living as Karen Himemiya's breast coordinator.».
  • «I always had the impression that Takafumi Torii was incredibly good at action animation, but… can he do this too?!».
  • «An even more specific job than that of Sagiri's animator in “Eromanga Sensei”».
  • «It's a position I've never heard of.».
  • «Dairy Cow Coordinator… that is, a farmer!».
  • «This is the first time I've seen work like this.».
  • «It’s like a highlights or kitchen director, right? Believe me…».
  • «I've already decided my career focus! It doesn't matter what you studied».
  • «What is this position? ha ha ha».
