posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The March issue of Shogakukan's Ciao magazine revealed on Friday that Hiromu Shinozuka will launch a new manga in the magazine's June issue in May. The magazine did not reveal any details about the new series.
The March issue also published the last chapter of Shinozuka's PriPri Chi-chan!! manga. The manga's seventh and final volume will ship this spring. The manga's story revolves around a girl named Yūka, who encounters a creature named Chii-chan who comes from the depths of the Earth (the name is a pun of chiteijin, the Japanese word for underground dweller), and an alien named Ucchan (a pun of uchūjin or alien). The series follows their heartwarming and chaotic everyday lives together.
Shinozuka launched PriPri Chi-chan!! in Ciao in March 2015. An anime adaptation premiered in April 2017, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
