Ciallo! (∠・ω< )⌒★ - Senren Banka Character Remix Meme
Text content
Ciallo(∠・ω< )⌒★
Overview
This meme is a playful remix combining the popular ACG greeting 'Ciallo! (∠・ω< )⌒★' with a character from the Yuzusoft visual novel Senren Banka (千恋万花). The character Murasame, with bright red hair, winks cheerfully while making a peace sign, paired with the iconic Ciallo text and emoticon. The Ciallo phrase originated from Yuzusoft's 2016 visual novel Witch's Night Festival (魔女的夜宴)* as the cute catchphrase of protagonist Inaba Yui, later evolving into a widespread greeting in global ACG circles, even gaining traction in Chinese internet due to its accidental similarity to the Jiangxi dialect phrase for 'ate'.
Origin notes
The Ciallo meme originated from Witch's Night Festival and became a staple among Yuzusoft fans ('Yuzufans') before spreading to broader ACG communities. This specific remix takes a scene from another Yuzusoft title, Senren Banka, and overlays the Ciallo text/emoticon to create a cross-game playful greeting. It is commonly shared in Chinese ACG platforms like Bilibili and Weibo, as well as English-speaking visual novel fan communities such as Reddit's r/visualnovels, as a friendly inside joke among fans of the developer's works.
