Original Illustrations of the Characters from Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night - Come Celebrate the Series Premiere With These Seven Artists!

Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night, an original anime television series produced by Doga Kobo, will begin airing on Saturday, April 6th, 2024! Featuring an all-female ensemble cast, the series follows the lives of four misfits whose lives begin to change as they come together to form the anonymous artist group “JELEE.” Once aimlessly drifting “jellyfish” in the ocean of modern society, the girls gradually rekindle their passions and learn what it’s like to truly be alive.

To celebrate its upcoming release, seven popular artists—Nemurinemu, ran9u, Kisumi Rei, Mashiro Kta, Komizuki, NII Manabu, and Tokiwata—created stunning illustrations to count down the days leading up to its premiere! In today’s article, we’ll be featuring all seven drawings by the illustrators and animators above. Enjoy the following that each captures a different aspect of the show or characters in all their unique glory!

Introduction

“I, too, long to become someone.”

Nowadays, everything is dictated by trends, from what topics we’ll be buzzing about tomorrow to what snazzy new fashions we’ll need to buy this week. In a world as hectic as this, there’s barely even time to contemplate the notion of making a name for yourself. Still, these four girls continue to dream.

“Yoru Mitsuki,” an illustrator on hiatus.

“Nonoka Tachibana,” a former idol who longs to prove herself with her singing.

“Nox Ryūgasaki,” the self-proclaimed “strongest” VTuber.

“Kimura-chan,” a mysterious composer who dreams of supporting her oshi.

Together, these four misfits form the anonymous artist group “JELEE.”

“On my own, I’m nobody. But perhaps by coming together, we can make a name for ourselves.”
