The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Makoto Takatsu’s Wataridori to Katatsumuri (Migratory Birds & Snail) manga revealed on Wednesday that it will be getting a television anime adaptation. Additionally, the manga will return from its four-year hiatus.
The manga follows Unpei Mochizuki, a young man in his second year working at a machine parts distributor. After making a mistake that causes trouble for a customer, Unpei feels the urge to escape to a place where no one knows him.
He stops his car by the side of the road and meets Tsugumi Nagisa, a picture book writer who travels with her dog. Together, they venture on a free-spirited journey across Japan, traveling and sleeping in the car.
Takatsu launched the manga on Wani Books’ web manga magazine NewsCrunch in October 2019. Wani Books published the manga’s first compiled volume in August 2020, and the third volume in September 2021. The manga has been on hiatus since the release of the third volume.
