Haruko Ichikawa has a new series after Land of the Lustrous, published in Brazil as Terra das Gemas. In an October 26 report citing Anime News Network, JBox said COSMIC MIMIMI is scheduled to begin in Japan’s Afternoon magazine on November 25.

The early premise follows Mimimi, who lives in a dreamlike city and wants everyone to be happy. Strange events surround this being shaped by happiness. The announcement describes a neo-kawaii approach to science fiction, setting cuteness alongside the unusual.

This is an outline rather than a finished reading experience. How the story handles happiness and who Mimimi becomes must emerge from the manga. The report does not identify it as a sequel to Land of the Lustrous.

Ichikawa’s earlier series ran in Afternoon from 2012 to 2024 and was published in Brazil by NewPOP. That does not confirm the same publisher for COSMIC MIMIMI. November 25 refers to the Japanese publication plan; Portuguese-language details await a local announcement.
