When manga and anime fans think of Gakuen Handsome, the Boys' Love doujin game which was adapted into a series of smartphone games, novelizations, OVA and TV anime series between 2010 and 2016, they usually think of one thing: long chins.
And how could they not? As one of the numerous parodies of anime tropes featured in the eminently meme-worthy franchise, the chins sported by the handsome protagonists are so incredibly long and pointy that one character, Mitsurugi Sakuya, even stabs a classmate with it.
Now, six years after the anime adaptation, a Japanese amateur artist by the name of にんげん Ningen (@sndm_ii) has brought back the boys of Baramon High and their impossibly long facial appendages in the form of the stunning nail art which you can see below!

Now that her work has been recognized, new fans of her nails are probably looking forward to what she'll be doing next.
