Voice Actress Sketches A Happy Birthday To "New Game!" Newbie Nene Sakura

May 5th is one of those dates that has a laundry list of attached anime character birthdays. The symmetry/word play is part of it, but mostly because it's Children's Day (previously Boys' Day). So, you have One Piece's Luffy, Hunter x Hunter's Gon, and the like. One recent addition is Nene Sakura, the student/part-time Eagle Jump debugger from New Game! Voice actress Madoka Asahina hit Twitter with her tribute.
