It takes acres of runway to land an Me-262 in both simulators I've played...I'd hate trying to put one on a carrier deck even with a hook.
That's a product of jets having higher stall speeds which in turn means high landing speed, which meant more runway. This high landing speed requirement was a major problem with most early attempts at jet operations from carriers and resulted in changes to the very nature of the deck and approach. Operating jets off an unmodified WWII era carrier would have been a nightmare weak catapults, small decks with no angle, and high landing speeds probably wouldn't resulted in atrocious operational losses.
It's surprising how many people in the Pixiv comments seem to have immediately assumed it was an Ohka (or perhaps they were making some odd joke Google Translate can't pick up). I can't figure out if it's supposed to be a Kikka or Ki-201 for tagging purposes.

Kikka because of the flower Kanji (橘花), while the Ki-201 is the Karyu (火龍)
SHWOOPvhwmmmmmmmmmmThe fairies are working on it day in and day out.Seems like they're about to perform the test flight now. *toss*Hyaa――Another weird aircraft has been assigned here, huh.Kikka KaiSeems like it's the first jet airplane of our military. The sugar-free ones are actually not bad!
