Dippin' Dots Recreates Chiikawa Manga Scene in Real Life
The US ice cream brand's official X account thanked creator Nagano after Chiikawa and Hachiware fell into a pit of Dippin' Dots beads in the manga.
Dippin' Dots has recreated a Chiikawa manga scene in real life after the beaded ice cream appeared in the series, according to animeanime.jp. The official Chiikawa manga X account posted the episode on October 27, 2026, in which Chiikawa and Hachiware fall into a hole that turns out to be made of Dippin' Dots.
The official Dippin' Dots X account responded with a real-life photo showing Chiikawa fallen into Dippin' Dots. The post thanked manga artist Nagano for featuring the ice cream and named Chiikawa, Hachiware, Rakko-sensei and Dippin' Dots.
Fans replied to the post with comments praising the recreation, with some asking for an official collaboration between the two.
Brand accounts respond to Chiikawa before
It is not the first time a brand has answered a Chiikawa manga episode: when the manga featured OxiClean oxy-soaking, the official OxiClean X account responded. A Chiikawa and Hachiware TV commercial song for the incense Seiun also led to an official collaborative incense release.
Chiikawa began serialization on X in 2020, and the anime started airing in 2022. The series was inducted into the Japan Character Award Grand Prix Hall of Fame. The first Chiikawa film, Chiikawa: The Movie - The Secret of the Mermaid Island, is currently in theaters and had earned 18.49 billion yen as of October 25.
