"Hoppe-chan" with her round eyes, sparkly cheeks, and squishy texture is finally making a TV anime comeback!
San Jewelry's original character that caused a huge boom among elementary and middle school girls in the 2010s is getting an anime adaptation to celebrate its 15th anniversary 🎉
The setting is "Sun Kingdom," a world made of "Kawaii."
Two stories quietly intersect—"Ganso Hoppe-chan," a "lost" Hoppe-chan who has lost her memories, and "Hoho," an office lady who is becoming "lost" in life in the real world.
Behind Sun Kingdom, toxic Hoppe-chans have built up an "un-cute place," and Ganso Hoppe-chan joins the "Guardians" who protect the kingdom...
A parallel fantasy comedy about the revival of Sun Kingdom ✨
① A Worldview Packed with Heisei Girls' Dreams
"Hoppe-chan," a mega-popular character born in 2010 with cumulative sales exceeding tens of millions.
Her trademark is a squishy body like whipped cream with sparkly eyes and cheeks.
For the generation that devoured catalogs, it's a perfect hit of nostalgia and freshness 🎀

④ The Charm of Enemy Characters "Black Hoppe Gang"
Kuro Hoppe-chan, Yami Hoppe-chan, and Doku Hoppe-chan who rebel against values of "only Kawaii."
