Young Animal Issue 16 went on sale Wednesday, August 12, 2026, priced at 530 yen (tax included) in B5 format. The issue’s centerpiece is a special commemorative feature celebrating the announcement of a TV anime adaptation of Doka Gui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san.
About Doka Gui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san
The manga is drawn by Maruyo no Kamome and serialized in Young Animal ZERO and Young Animal Web (Hakusensha). Built around the unique concept of “reaching enlightenment” through caloric overdose, the series blends outrageous gourmet comedy with boundary-breaking gags. It has earned a spot in the Next Manga Award rankings two years running and generated massive buzz on social media.
Anime Commemoration Content
The issue includes a special chapter [Tokubetsu-hen] published to celebrate the TV anime production announcement, along with a behind-the-scenes look at how the celebratory illustration came together. In addition, the entire first compiled volume is available to read free online for a limited time — including the legendary Chapter 1 that hit No. 1 on X trends the moment it launched, and Chapter 4, the origin of the viral internet meme “「ある」のがいけない!!!!”
A Mochizuki-san Collaboration Café in Osaka has also been announced, set to open on Wednesday, August 26, 2026.
Cover & Gravure: Shinonome Umi
The cover and lead gravure feature Shinonome Umi (東雲うみ) in a daring swimsuit shoot themed around “a special holiday spent alone with Umi-chan.” The issue also comes with a special bonus double-sided clear file featuring Shinonome Umi. The back-of-book gravure section spotlights Nijisaki Karina (虹咲カリナ), an 18-year-old newcomer drawing considerable attention this summer.
