Happy Sugar Life Horror Manga Gets 1-Shot Special in September
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The September issue of Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine revealed on Thursday that Tomiyaki Kagisora will publish a special one-shot chapter for the Happy Sugar Life manga in the magazine's next issue on September 21. The one-shot will center on the character pairing that topped a previous character popularity poll for the manga.
The manga ended on June 22. Square Enix shipped the manga's ninth and 10th compiled book volumes simultaneously on July 22.
Yen Press licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Satou Matsuzaka doesn't seem to care about much, moving through boys and casting them aside like so used candy wrappers. All that changes, though, when she meets Shio. The little girl changes everything for Matsuzaka. Is this love...? If it is, then it's love through a very warped prism as the high schooler demonstrates there's no atrocity beyond her when it comes to protecting the object of her deranged affection.
Kagisora launched the manga in Gangan Joker in 2015, and Square Enix published the manga's eighth compiled book volume last June. Yen Press released the manga's first volume on May 21. The manga inspired a television anime adaptation that premiered in July 2018. Amazon Prime Video streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
Kagisora's other series include the manga adaptation of the Tari Tari anime, Kamiyome, and Fantasista Doll ~Prelude Kagami~.
