After a serialization of more than five years, the
manga written and illustrated by Kai Ikada , “ Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! ( Dosanko
Gal wa Namara Menkoi )”, has reached its conclusion within Shueisha’s
Shonen Jump Plus service. The work came to an end with the wedding of
Mio Shiki, the daughter of the protagonists Tsubasa Shiki and Minami Fuyuki,
which served to recall the romantic moments of both:
- « I
remembered when I first met Mom… No, Fuyuki… I remembered it clearly. That
day, at that bus stop, it was all because you were there. Because it was
you, because I was by your side. Since I came to Hokkaido and met you, I
have found happiness every day of my life. Thank you Fuyuki. For
everything until now, and for everything from now on .»
Ikada began publishing the manga through Shueisha ’s Shonen
Jump Plus service in September 2019 and ended it in September 2024,
with a total of fourteen compiled volumes. Among other works in his repertoire
are “ Kanojo wa Mizumizushii ” and “ Great Old: Dragon
no Tsukurikata ”, the first being a one-shot and the second a manga
serialized in 2017.
An anime adaptation by SILVER LINK and Blade studios
aired during the Winter 2024 season (January-March) , with a
total of twelve episodes. So far, there is no official announcement or leak
about a sequel.
Synopsis of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!
After moving from Tokyo to Hokkaido, high school
student Tsubasa Shiki decides to explore the picturesque winter scenery he
never got to experience in the country’s capital. It only takes a moment for
Tsubasa’s idealized vision of Japan’s northernmost prefecture to crumble as the
cold, frigid air quickly overwhelms him. While trying to find his way to his
new home, Tsubasa stumbles upon Minami Fuyuki, a talkative and friendly
Hokkaido native who, despite the cold, is wearing a short skirt. The girl wastes
no time in striking up a conversation, and Tsubasa realizes that the winter
weather isn’t too much for him.
The next day, Tsubasa is shocked to learn that not
only is Fuyuki in his class, but her seat is right next to his. Swept away by
Fuyuki's persistent advances, the young boy soon finds himself captivated by
both life in Hokkaido and the beautiful girl determined to get close to him. As
he deepens his relationship with Fuyuki and meets other fashionable girls from
his school, Tsubasa discovers that the girls of Hokkaido are actually quite
adorable.
