Celebrate Chiikawa Bakery’s 1st Anniversary with a Special Playbook!
Get ready, Chiikawa fans! The popular “Chiikawa Bakery” is gearing up to celebrate its first anniversary on October 29, 2025. To commemorate this special occasion, a delightful official mook, titled “Chiikawa to Asobook Chiikawa Bakery Tokudai Gou” (which can be translated as Chiikawa and Play Book: Chiikawa Bakery Super-Sized Issue), is set to be released on October 28, 2025!
What is Chiikawa?
For those unfamiliar, Chiikawa is a beloved manga series created by illustrator Nagano, which originally gained immense popularity on X (formerly Twitter). It follows the everyday adventures of the always-diligent Chiikawa and her unique companions, Hachiware and Usagi. Their story is a captivating blend of fun, heartwarming moments, and occasionally a touch of unexpected hardship.
The franchise has expanded significantly beyond its manga roots, with a wide array of merchandise, themed cafes, and corporate collaborations. Kodansha has already published seven volumes of the manga, titled “Chiikawa: Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu” (Chiikawa: Something Small and Cute). Additionally, fans can enjoy a charming TV anime adaptation that began airing in April 2022 as part of Fuji Television Network’s “Mezamashi TV.”
The Charm of Chiikawa Bakery
The “Chiikawa Bakery” first opened its doors to the public on October 29, 2024, in the vibrant Harajuku and Omotesando area. Since then, it has become a true landmark, renowned for its exclusive character-themed breads that you can’t find anywhere else. Its unique offerings and charming atmosphere have made it a hit among fans and visitors alike.
Introducing the Chiikawa Bakery Special Mook!
This upcoming mook is an absolute must-have for any Chiikawa enthusiast, featuring a special appendix designed for an authentic “pan-ya-san gokko” (bakery play) experience right at home!
The included appendix, aptly named “Chiikawa Pan-ya-san Gokko”, is a complete bakery play set. It comes with adorable mascots shaped like the actual breads sold at Chiikawa Bakery, an original design wagon, tongs, and trays – everything you need to create your very own miniature bakery. Imagine serving up delightful Chiikawa-themed treats with this charming set!
Beyond the fun appendix, the magazine itself is packed with engaging content. You’ll find the latest information on Chiikawa Bakery, along with interactive pages featuring coloring activities and quizzes that are perfect for all ages.

The mook includes bonus paper crafts, such as additional bread designs, a menu board, and paper bag templates, allowing you to further expand and enhance your bakery play experience. Line up your adorable breads on the wagon, use the tongs to place them on trays, take customer orders, and “hand” them over – you can enjoy a fully immersive bakery experience from the comfort of your home!
Special Anniversary Event!
As part of the Chiikawa Bakery’s 1st-anniversary celebrations, a limited-time drink stand will be set up at the “Omokado no Mori” on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza Omokado. This special stand will be designed to evoke the charming wagon included in the mook’s appendix!
