It's Friday, Friday, gotta get up on Friday, because Anime North festivities begin today! To celebrate, looks like the best girl of Winter 2021 anime is getting expanded, but who will it be?

But before we get to that, here are some runner-ups!
- Mai Vlad Transylvania {Vladlove}
- Sumire {Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House}
- Kyoko Hori {Horimiya}
- Aoi Oto {Wonder Egg Priority}

She may not have a proper name, but the chatty, resourceful star of So I'm a Spider, So What? sure does have what it takes to be the best girl of Winter 2021 anime! Kumoko is a great characters with a fun personality, a lot of unexpected strength, and an adorable appearance! This spider was given some blueberry gum to chew on -- now she's much bigger, less mobile, and more juicy! Seems she's having trouble getting used to her new massive round body though, but this spider can definitely handle this!

Drawn for  elcid a month ago in advance for Anime North!
