Comic Natalie has rounded up its most-read articles for the week of September 10–16, 2026. Topping the chart was news about the experiential facility Chiikawa Park, based on Nagano’s beloved series, which is set to go all-out for Halloween.
No. 1: Chiikawa Park Goes Halloween
From September 25 through October 31, 2026, Chiikawa Park will run a limited autumn Halloween event. The park entrance and first-floor merchandise area will be decorated with a Halloween theme, and exclusive goods featuring the Chiikawa characters dressed as ghosts will be available, giving the park a distinctly spooky atmosphere unlike its usual look.
No. 2: Chiikawa Movie Attendee Bonus Round 5
The second most-read article covered the fifth wave of attendee bonuses for Chiikawa the Movie: Secret of Mermaid Island. The bonus — a “Secret Book” (ひみつ本) containing an essay by Nagano and the story “Ode and the Island” — began distribution on September 19, 2026.
