Drawings Featuring Outstanding Background Characters - Simply Too Good to Ignore
On pixiv, you’ll sometimes come across drawings with the tag #後ろの存在感 (ushiro no sonzaikan, lit. “presence in the back”). These illustrations usually have something or someone in the background that stands out just as much, if not more, than the main focus of the picture. At times, it can be hard to pay attention to the main character because of how intriguing the scene in the background appears—keep scrolling through these images, and we think you’ll see what we mean!
Which of these background presences did you find the hardest to ignore?
