The 2023 Chiikawa Christmas special manga received diverse and humorous feedback from fans. In the first story, Hachiware’s wish for a “sushi geta” (a sushi serving platter) became a highlight, with many fans admiring the quirky and endearing choice, likening it to frugal single living. Some were pleased to see the return of the traditional red Santa Claus this year, with requests for rabbit-themed Christmas sweater LINE stickers. Meanwhile, others expressed nostalgia for last year’s Black Santa, and there was playful speculation about the subtle differences in the manga’s reposted version.
The term “Walkman” sparked lively discussions. Fans joked about its double meaning, interpreting it as “a walking bear,” while others humorously wondered if Sony might take issue with the depiction.

The characters’ shocked reactions were described as adorable, turning an otherwise odd plot into a charming holiday tale. These inventive and lighthearted scenes left fans eagerly awaiting the next whimsical installment.

A Quirky Christmas in Chiikawa’s World
The Christmas-themed episode in the Chiikawa world introduced an unexpected twist that left fans both amused and intrigued. As the adorable characters prepared to celebrate the festive season, donning charming holiday outfits and anticipating a visit from Santa Claus, their excitement turned into confusion when a mysterious “Black Santa” appeared instead of the traditional jolly figure.
Black Santa, with his ominous yet cheerful demeanor, brought along a treat: a rich-flavored seaweed snack. While the unexpected visitor’s actions were slightly unsettling, the snack itself turned out to be a surprising hit among the characters and viewers alike. Fans commented on how “the deep, bold flavor of the seaweed snack actually sounds delicious,” highlighting the creative and quirky detail added by Nagano-sensei, the creator of Chiikawa.
This episode sparked various reflections from fans. Some observed how the use of “black” in the Chiikawa universe tends to symbolize an air of unease or something ominous, which might explain the mixed feelings evoked by Black Santa’s sudden arrival. Others expressed a longing for the appearance of a traditional Santa Claus, noting that the dark twist, while intriguing, left them with complex emotions.
Nagano-sensei’s storytelling once again showcased a flair for the unexpected, blending humor with subtle, deeper themes. Many fans speculated about the possibility of Black Santa returning in future episodes, calling him a character with enough uniqueness to make a lasting impression. “This Black Santa might just become a recurring figure in Chiikawa’s holiday lore,” one viewer mused.
Despite the oddities of the episode, viewers agreed that it carried the charm and whimsy expected of Chiikawa’s world. The characters, though perplexed, ultimately enjoyed the festive treats, reminding fans that even the strangest celebrations can bring joy. One fan humorously remarked, “Though this year was as confusing as ever, at least they got some snacks out of it!”
Through its quirky and unexpected narrative, this Christmas episode left fans eagerly looking forward to what surprises Nagano-sensei might have in store for future holiday adventures in Chiikawa’s world.
