Hello everyone! This is Saori from Kawaii Republic!

Everyone! Three pretty big pieces of news about Chiikawa have been announced! All three are exciting, and some even involve things you can actually experience......! Let's get right into it!

Alright, let's start with the first big news! It's...... the first-ever Chiikawa game app! It seems like it'll be a game full of adventures, where you can fully enjoy the world of Chiikawa with cooking, relaxing moments, and even battles!?

We don't know yet what kind of game it will be or the release date, but it looks like there will be collectible elements and the ability to decorate each character's space cutely, making it interesting to see how each player will bring out their own style! By the way, these three pieces of news were all announced at an event held in Odaiba, Japan, in August 2024!

And the second piece of news is...... the opening of the Chiikawa Bakery has been confirmed!

It seems this bakery is set to open in Tokyo, Japan, around fall 2024! I’m curious if it’ll have an eat-in option, but Chiikawa's eateries are known for their variety, like permanent spots where you can enjoy ramen or restaurant-style dining! I really want to try it! I bet it’ll be filled with tons of delicious-looking bread......

And the final news...... here it is! The latest volume of the Chiikawa manga, Volume 7, is set to be released in late November! Alongside this, the art book by the author, Nagano-sensei, titled 'Nagano Exhibition Art Collection: NAGANO EXHIBITION COMPLETE WORKS,' is also scheduled for release around the same time! It looks like the Chiikawa world will expand even further this fall! I can't wait!

Which piece of news caught your attention? For me, it's the game app! I'm really curious about the scene where Momonga tries to fight with bare hands during a battle...... Playing this app will surely let us experience a whole new Chiikawa world! Be sure to keep an eye out for more updates on the three big Chiikawa news I introduced today!
