A mobile game based on Chikawa is in development, pre-registration is now possible in Japan. The title of the game is Chiikawa bagor Chiipoke in short. (Thanks, 4Gamer!)
You can pre-register through the Apple Store and Play Store. The concept of the game is that you always have Chiikawa with you in your daily life. Things you can experience in the game are mini-games (which are packed with Chikawas unique worldview), collecting items, customizing the homepage, collecting costumes and destroying enemies.
You can watch the promotional video for Chikawa Bag Here:
Chikawa is the abbreviation for Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsuwhich literally means “Something small and cute”. It is a Japanese manga series that began publication in 2020 (as online Twitter posts) and an anime based on it was released in 2022.
Although the characters are adorable little things that don’t look out of place next to Sanrio mascots, the story feels very different from other shows in the “cute critters doing cute critter things” genre. For example, some stories involve the characters smashing their brothers with a hammer after they’ve been brainwashed and turned to stone. Others involve the characters taking a test together, but only one of them passes.
Chikawa Bag is in development for mobile devices. More information will follow in the future.
