Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable manga creator Kai Ikada announced in August via X/Twitter that his beloved work would end after five years on September 11, 2024. The 119th and final chapter was released today on the Japanese Shonen Jump Plus website. Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable was adapted into a well-received anime earlier this year, which ran from January to April 2024.
Ikada's announcement that the manga will end on X-day.
Since Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable's release in 2019, the manga has topped bestseller lists like Comic Zin's in Japan. In 2021, the first volume needed to be reprinted due to its popularity. Shueisha has the manga available in English on their MANGA Plus app. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime adaptation and describes the work as follows:
Snowflakes aren't the only thing falling in Hokkaido—and neither are jaws, thanks to the super-cute girls who are turning the frozen north into a hub of fashion and fun. Prepare for a winter storm of laughter, love, and killer outfits as these girls prove that cute is a seasonal thing. Here, frostbite meets fashionista!
Kai Ikada's latest artwork celebrates the 5th anniversary and end of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable.
Kai Ikada has released new artwork on X to commemorate the end of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable. He said he hopes his manga will make people fall in love with Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost prefecture, and bring people to visit his hometown of Kitami, where the series takes place.
While there's no word yet on whether we'll be watching season 2 of the Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable anime, fans are asking about the possibility under Ikada's X post. Check out our review of season one.
