The official
website of the anime based on Nagano's Chiikawa manga
announced that a new series will premiere on Monday, July 15 in
Japan (early morning of July 15 to 16 in Spain, UTC+2). In addition, a new
promotional image was revealed that anticipates the return of these
adorable creatures.
The
original manga follows the daily life — sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and
slightly stressful — of a small, adorable creature known as Chiikawa.
Together with his friends Hachiware and Usagi, he
enjoys delicious meals, works hard and faces each day with a smile.
