Hit the Road with 'That's Journey': The Next Big Travel Anime

Kodansha's Dengeki Maoh magazine recently revealed that the manga series, That's Journey, will soon be adapted into an anime. Although no further details were disclosed, the announcement was accompanied by an original artwork that has piqued the interest of fans. That's Journey was first published in 2019, and narrates the journey of Chika Suzugamori, a struggling manga artist who embarks on a journey across Japan without a clear objective. Having faced rejection from every publisher she approached, Chika feels lost and hopeless about ever realizing her dream of becoming a successful mangaka. However, her travels take her on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, as she searches for meaning and purpose in her life.

The ongoing story of That's Journey has reached its 9th volume, which was coincidentally released on the same day as the exciting announcement of an upcoming anime. The stunning artwork that accompanied the announcement showcased the beloved protagonist, Chika, and some of the remarkable individuals she has encountered throughout her travels. The charming illustration also expressed gratitude towards the dedicated fans who have been following Chika's journey so far, while also revealing the exciting news that the anime has been given the green light.

It can be inferred that the production of That's Journey's anime is still in its early stages, given the lack of a specified release date and additional details in the announcement. It's likely that the plot is still being developed, which is supported by the fact that fans are being asked to vote on which location Chika should visit in the anime. A Google Form survey has been shared, where fans can vote on which part of Japan they would like to see featured in the anime. This suggests that the production is still ongoing and it might be a considerable amount of time until it's ready to be released, possibly at least a year away.

To participate in the Google Forms survey, click on the provided link. The survey consists of a single question in Japanese. However, if you don't understand Japanese, you can still vote for your preferred region in the following order: east, west, south, and north. Your vote could make a difference in determining which area will be featured in the anime adaptation of That's Journey.
