posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The March issue of Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine published the final chapter on Saturday of Sumeragi and Bandai Namco Entertainment's The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! Returns manga.
The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! Returns debuted in the November issue of Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine on September 27. The manga's one compiled volume will ship on March 22 and will bundle an unaired anime episode.
Sumeragi launched the The Idolm@ster SideM Wake Atte Mini! manga in 2016 and ended it in January 2018. Kadokawa published the series' compiled book volume in March 2018. The manga features the characters from The Idolm@ster SideM franchise in super-deformed form.
The original manga inspired a 12-episode television anime series of shorts that premiered on October 9. Crunchyroll streamed the show as it aired.
The main The Idolm@ster SideM game launched in July 2014, and is available for iOS and Android devices, as well as on Mobage and ChromeApps. The game has more than 1 million downloads. Like other The IDOLM@STER games, SideM is built on the concept of "idols you can produce." The app focuses on the male idols at the agency 315 Production (pronounced "Saikō Production" or "Ultimate Production"). Another app, The Idolm@ster SideM Live On St@ge, launched in 2017.
The game's 13-episode anime adaptation premiered in October 2017. A prologue special about the three Jupiter idol unit members aired in September 2017. Crunchyroll streamed both anime as they aired.
