Are you a fan of crossovers? While some marriages simply aren’t meant to be, sometimes a crossover just works so well that it barely even registers that the drawing is a series mashup. That’s what the tag #混ぜるな自然 (mazeruna shizen)—a play on the word 自然 (shizen) meaning “nature” and the phrase 混ぜるな危険 (mazeruna kiken, lit. “Danger, do not mix”)—is essentially for. Mixing A plus B doesn’t always spell disaster: sometimes, the result is a fusion that’s so harmonious that you can’t help but go, “Genius, please DO mix”!

Which of these drawings was your favorite crossover, and are there any dream collabs you would love to see?

They’re naturally blended, and so it doesn’t quite make you feel uncomfortable, although you may find yourself wondering where the inspiration came from.

What works might you fuse in a “fan art crossover”?
