If you’re a fan of ACG pop culture, you’re probably familiar with Rucarachi (Ruca), a renowned illustrator, content creator, and cosplayer with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and X (Twitter).
Recently, Vietnamese fans have been buzzing with excitement over the news that Ruca will appear as a special international guest at the Hobby Horizon Singularity 2026 festival, taking place in Ho Chi Minh City from July 17 to 19.
Beyond her stunning hot girl looks, Ruca is a true artistic talent in Japan’s illustration scene. Her style draws strong inspiration from hit games like Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
What sets Rucarachi apart is her unique creative process. She cosplays herself, posing and photographing her outfits, then transforms those into captivating 2D illustrations. This perfect blend of real-life modeling and art, showcased through her popular Art Vs Artist trend, consistently earns massive engagement thanks to its irresistible allure.
At Hobby Horizon 2026, Vietnamese fans will also get to witness Ruca’s exceptional live drawing skills performed on stage in front of thousands.
Besides illustration, Rucarachi is the creator of “After Hours,” a manga that has sparked heated debates across online forums recently.
The daring story of After Hours:
The story follows a female artist who specializes in adult (NSFW) content and is overwhelmed by tight deadlines. However, she faces psychological and physical challenges. While pouring her emotions into drawing provocative, sensitive strokes, she finds herself caught up in those same feelings, leading to inner turmoil.
To overcome her crisis, the protagonist turns to social media to find a suitable man to meet in real life and help relieve her built-up tension.
Once the first chapters leaked, After Hours quickly climbed the trending keywords list. The online community buzzed over the uncanny parallels between Rucarachi’s real life and the fate of her main character. Many fans wonder if the talented artist drew from her own intimate experiences to create this bold story.
