If you think your little airplane can't be this cute, think again. eFlight Academy, which trains future pilots and air traffic controllers, is joining forces with the team behind Eromanga Sensei to roll out the air's answer to itasha.
Dubbed an "itahikouki," this Piper PA-46 is decked out with decals of the characters and branding from both the show and the academy. And that's not all -- the cockpit has been revamped to look like Sagiri Izumi's room. The plane was originally shown on Niconico, and was available for limited special flights.
Those who missed the previous appearances and want a closer look can head down to Nagoya Airfield on June 3 between 10 AM and 4 PM. Admission is 1,000 yen for middle school students and older, and free for elementary school age and younger. There will be no ropes or fences around the plane, so visitors can feel free to get up close, take photos, and look inside the cockpit.
Three visitors will also win an autograph from Sagiri's voice actress, Akane Fujita. The winners will be chosen randomly after the airfield visit and announced on the collaboration's website in early June.
