The fall 2020 anime series Fly Me to the Moon, aka Tonikaku Kawaii, aka Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You, clearly finished awhile ago but they had a bit more in the chamber as an OVA was put into production for a 2021 release and we also saw another follow-up series with High School Days.
The latest update is on the manga itself. The series began back in February 2018 and was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday. It had volumes are out as of March 2020 when the anime got underway and it’s now bringing out its thirtieth volume. That’s gotten some new numbers into place as it’s been revealed that it has 5.5 million copies in circulation in print and digital since then. The series sees an English release through Viz Media.
Hiroshi Ikehata directed the series based on the scripts overseen by Kazuho Hyodo. Masakatsu Sasaki handled the character designs with Seven Arcs working on the animation production.

Nasa confesses his feelings, but her response is that she will only go out with him if they get married. Years later, on Nasa’s 18th birthday, she suddenly appears to get married. Thus begins Nasa’s newlywed lifestyle.
