Shirokuma Cafe
Shirokuma Cafe (Japanese: ã—ã‚ãã¾ã‚«ãƒ•ã‚§, Hepburn: Shirokuma Kafe?, lit. Polar Bear Café) is a Japanese manga series by Aloha Higa (ヒガ ã‚¢ãƒãƒ, Higa Aroha?). It revolves around the everyday lives of a group of animals mingling with humans at a café run by a polar bear. An anime adaptation by Studio Pierrot aired in Japan between April 2012 and March 2013. While it never received an official international release (mostly due to its heavy emphasis on Japanese wordplay, which complicates the potential for dubbing into other languages), it is available on the streaming website Crunchyroll alongside the television broadcast for global audiences.
The original manga by Aloha Higa began serialisation in Shogakukan's Flowers magazine from 2006. Five tankÅbon volumes have been released so far. The manga went on hiatus between May and July 2012, citing lack of communication concerning the anime adaptation. The manga returned from hiatus in the September 2012 issue of Flowers, following Higa managed to talk with the anime production on her intellectual property. The manga was retitled Shirokuma Cafe Today's Special and moved to Shueisha's Cocohana on its September 2014.
An anime adaptation by Studio Pierrot aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between April 5, 2012 and March 28, 2013 and was simulcast by Crunchyroll.
