You can pre-register via the Apple Store and the Play Store. The concept of the game is that you’ll always have Chiikawa with you as you go about your daily life. Things you’ll be able to experience in the game include mini-games (which will be packed full of Chiikawa’s unique worldview), item collection, home page customization, costume collecting, and exterminating enemies.

You can check out the promotional video for Chikawa Pocket here:

Chiikawa is short for Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu, which literally translates to “Something Small and Cute.” It’s a Japanese manga series that started serialization in 2020 (as online Twitter posts) and an anime based on it came out in 2022.

Though the characters are adorable little things that don’t look out of place when next to Sanrio mascots, the story feels very different from other shows in the “cute critter doing cute critter things” genre. For example, some stories deal with the characters smashing their brethren with a hammer after they were brainwashed and petrified. Others deal with characters taking an exam together, but only one of them passes.

Chiikawa Pocket is in development for mobile devices. More information on it will come out in the future.
