The manga written and illustrated by Yuuki Kikuchi, 100 Nichi Go ni Shinu Wani, is reported to have surpassed 350,000 copies in circulation since the release of its sole compilation volume on April 8.
Kikuchi began publishing the manga through his Twitter account in December 2019, and the final chapter was published on March 20. In fact, just as the translation of the title suggests (This crocodile will die in a hundred days), the author published a daily chapter for a hundred days coinciding with the events of the manga. Editorial Shogakukan published the manga's compilation volume on April 8, which included a 28-page sequel story.
The work will be adapted into an animated film, however, no new production details or release dates for the project have been revealed.
Synopsis of 100 Nichi Go or Shinu Wani
The story focuses on the daily life of a crocodile, which could be considered normal for the reader if he did not know in advance that the crocodile will die in a hundred days, something that the character does not know. Without knowing this, the crocodile spends his days with his friends, making plans for the future or simply watching television.
