The Charm of ChiiKawa
ChiiKawa is a popular comic series illustrated by Nagano, featuring the heartfelt and sometimes challenging lives of characters such as ChiiKawa and his friends, Hachiware and Usagi. The stories are known for being fun, bittersweet, and often depicting the struggles of everyday life in an endearing way.
The brand has expanded significantly since its debut, branching out into merchandise, collaboration cafes, and corporate partnerships. Kodansha publishes the ChiiKawa manga series, with seven volumes currently available. Additionally, a TV anime adaptation of ChiiKawa has been airing since April 2022 on Fuji TV's “Mezamashi TV.” Fans of the series can look forward to the upcoming theatrical release of “ChiiKawa: The Secret of the Mermaid Island” scheduled for summer 2026.
