The main character has an unexpected rival.
Recently, Japanese illustrator mellco recalled working on Atelier Lulua The Scion of Arland. At that time, they encountered an unusual problem when creating the cover.
It turned out that the horse was drawn in detail and began to attract more attention than the anime girl.
In an early version of the art, the horse took up about the same amount of space as the main character, and the level of detail was comparable.
Then it was decided to crop the cover of Atelier Lulua The Scion of Arland, the horse is now barely visible (a piece is visible in the right part of the art).
