A special illustration has been released to celebrate the birthday of Ichikawa Kana (older sister), a character from the TV anime series "The Dangers in My Heart," based on the popular manga by Sakurai Norio, currently serialized on Akita Shoten's manga site, Manga Cross. Getsuku is the birthday of Kana, the older sister of Ichikawa Kyotaro, a nerdy, middle school second-year syndrome sufferer, and the illustration shows her in a pure white dress holding a bouquet of pink roses. A small Kyotaro can also be seen in the bouquet, dressed in a pure white suit.
To celebrate her birthday, the first batch of advance tickets (cards) with special bonuses for the animated film "The Dangers in My Heart" have gone on sale. If you purchase a ticket by December 1st, you will receive a special birthday card with an illustration commemorating Onee's birthday.
A birthday commemorative video was also released on YouTube, in which you can hear Onee saying things like, "Today is my birthday, my sweet brother, the one Kyo-chan loves the most in the world (I hope)!"
