An anime adaptation for Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! is expected to premiere sometime in 2023. The series is the latest ongoing work from creator Kai Ikada whose previous work includes the short-lived Great Old: Dragon no Tsukurikata.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! takes the recent trend of popular gals (or gyaru if you’re cultured) and puts a local flair on it, extolling the virtues of the Hokkaido region of Japan. For those who don’t know, Hokkaido is the northernmost prefecture of Japan and also the largest since it consists of Japan’s entire northernmost island.

Tsubasa Natsukawa has just moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido, in the middle of winter. Not quite appreciating how far apart towns are in the country, he gets off the taxi at the next town over from his destination so he can see the sights around his home. But he is shocked when he learns the “next town” is a 3 hour walk away. But he also meets a cute Dosanko (born and raised in Hokkaido) gyaru named Minami Fuyuki who is braving negative 8 degree weather in the standard gyaru outfit of short skirts and bare legs!
