Open the
Coca-Cola and get out the fries because the absolute queen of sedentary
lifestyle at home is ready to do her thing again. During a live broadcast on
Saturday, author Sankaku Head surprised his followers by announcing the release
of Umaru-chan 100, a new installment that will expand on the adventures
of the popular manga Himouto! Umaru-chan from October 1.
This news
took the community by surprise, especially considering the changes of pace that
the author has had in his career recently. Sankaku Head had revealed a few
months ago her decision to move away from the exhausting pace of weekly
publications to focus on raising her children and taking care of their health
status, migrating to a monthly work format. However, the affection for the
hamster girl seems to be stronger, opening this new chapter to the delight of
its readers.
The
franchise already has a fairly extensive history of spin-offs that have
explored the lives of its supporting characters, including titles such as Akita
Imokko! Ebina-chan, Himouto! Umaru-chan S, Himouto! Umaru-chan SS
and the direct sequel Himouto! Umaru-chan G. This new project seeks to
reconnect with the joyful spirit of the series while the author concludes his
other current work, Boku no Manamusume, which is scheduled to close in
2027.
Himouto!
Umaru-chan is an
everyday comedy written and illustrated by Sankaku Head, which began
publication in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine in 2013 and
concluded its main story in 2017 by compiling it in twelve volumes. The plot
follows the two sides of Umaru Doma, a high school girl who looks like a
perfect, beautiful and talented student to the outside world, but as soon as
she crosses the door of her house she transforms into a chibi lover of video
games, candy and absolute leisure who depends completely on her patient older
brother. Taihei.
The
enormous charisma of the work earned it an anime adaptation produced by the
Doga Kobo studio that premiered in July 2015 with twelve episodes, followed by
an acclaimed second season titled Himouto! Umaru-chan R aired in late
2017, cementing Umaru as an icon of modern otaku culture.
