Although it began as
a good promise in the world of romantic comedies, the anime adaptation of
“ Hokkaido
Gals Are Super Adorable! ( Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi )”
could not have gone more unnoticed during the Winter-2024 season
(January-March) . Although viewers tried to rescue it through the
ecchi moments of the initial episodes, it seems that the story or the
protagonists did not end up completely enchanting the audience.
The plot is quite
interesting, if you are Japanese. It's about a gal girl who wants to
maintain her style of skirt, high socks and other parts of a city girl's
wardrobe, in the cold environment of Hokkaido. Our protagonist Tsubasa
Shiki moves there, who meets Minami Fuyuki, the main girl, and other girls who
begin to fill the typical romantic comedy harem.
Unfortunately
the story of “Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!” Not only did its anime
adaptation fare poorly, but the manga itself lost a lot of fan support with its
current development. Not
very focused on romance, going from one place to another without any particular
direction, Kai Ikada's work has been suffering within the Shonen Jump Plus
service despite the fact that it is about to celebrate five years in
serialization.
Perhaps
Kai Ikada is aware that the anime adaptation did not achieve the expected
results , precisely
because he shared a post on Twitter inviting those who saw the series to
continue in the manga:
- « Thank you very much
again to everyone who watched the anime. You can read what follows after
the final episode halfway through Volume 4 of the original manga. If you
are interested in what comes next or if you liked this story, give the
manga a chance .
It is normal for
authors to share this type of publication after the end of the adaptation of
one of their mangas, but Japanese fans detected that the tone in which
he wrote it, the words he used and other details definitely reveal that the
author does not trust in which a continuation will occur . Will they
be right?
- « When people involved in
the production say things like “this will continue in the original manga”,
rest assured that there will not be a second season ».
- « And isn't this point
where the good part of the story began? ».
- " It's over. Another
story that will be discarded for not achieving the expected results .
- " I would have liked
to see Shiki-kun's confession in the anime ."
- « It was the most
interesting this season, so if there is a second season, I will definitely
watch it .»
- " Second season,
please, please ."
- " Seriously, it was
one of the best anime of this season ."
- « It's over, it was quite
fun. I would very much like to see a sequel .
- « The most interesting
moments were just coming, so I hope there will be a second season .»
- « It is rare that I watch
a series on the same day it is broadcast, it was fun. I hope there will be
a second season soon .
