Both Nijisanji and Pomu Rainpuff fans have been left stunned by the surprise announcement of the fairy VTuber’s upcoming graduation set to take place in just a couple of weeks.

Front lining Nijisanji EN was the branch’s first generation, Lazulight. Lazulight’s members areElira Pendora, Finana Fyugu, and Pomu Rainpuff. The three talents have gone on to accumulate over 1.7 million subscribers between them making them some of themost popular VTubersout there.

However, that group is now set to be split apart after Nijisanji confirmed one of EN’s original members is graduating soon.

As part of the announcement, Nijisanji took the opportunity to thank Pomu for her service, paying tribute to how she “took the lead and pushed forward the Nijisanji EN brand,” and her clear “passion for otaku culture.”

Nijisanji fans have been left stunned by the announcement with many feeling there wasn’t much of an indication that this was coming. Some of the most shocked responses include, “IM SORRY WHAT??????” and “I can’t even think of something to say…”

This is the latest casualty for Nijisanji with the VTuber agency having previously lostMika Melatika from IDandChihiro Yuuki plus Momo Azuchi from JPjust last month.
