Ciallo~(∠・ω< )⌒★
Overview
This meme image features a chibi-style illustration of Murasame, a character from the Yuzusoft visual novel Senren Banka. She is depicted winking with an excited, open-mouthed expression while making a peace sign with one hand. Below her, the iconic ACG greeting phrase 'Ciallo~(∠・ω< )⌒★' is displayed, which originated from another Yuzusoft title, Witch's Night Feast, as the catchphrase of character Inaba Yui. The image cross-references two popular Yuzusoft games, using the widely recognized Ciallo greeting to create a playful, wholesome greeting meme for visual novel and ACG fans.
Origin notes
The 'Ciallo~(∠・ω< )⌒★' meme originated from the 2016 Yuzusoft visual novel Witch's Night Feast (Majikoi no Futago). It gained popularity within the Yuzusoft fanbase (dubbed 'Yuzukitchen') before spreading to the broader ACG community. In Chinese internet spaces, it further expanded due to its phonetic similarity to the Jiangxi dialect phrase 'chi le' (meaning 'ate'). This specific image is a fan-made remix, combining the Ciallo greeting with a chibi depiction of Murasame from Senren Banka, another Yuzusoft visual novel. It is likely shared on ACG-focused platforms such as Twitter/X, Bilibili, or Reddit's r/visualnovels, created by an anonymous fan artist.
