Anime Friends with Lanterns Coloring Page

About this page

Three friends stand shoulder to shoulder, each holding a round paper lantern up in front of the waist. The lanterns are ribbed with horizontal bands, with a small cap on top and a bottom ring. On the left is a girl with a short bob in a loose tunic top tied with a sash and a pleated skirt. In the middle is a girl with a high ponytail in a tee with a sash tied at the side and very wide pants. On the right is a boy with short hair in an open collared shirt over a tee, rolled-cuff pants and slip-ons. They all grin. Matching lanterns link the three figures while outfits and hair differ. This medium page suits teens who like festival and friendship scenes.
