Mirmo de Pon! New Manga Series Ends, 'Season 2' and Side Story on the Way
There is news that has both surprised and excited Mirmo de Pon! fans: Hiromu Shinozuka's new manga series began on March 3, 2026, but has already come to an end. Despite this, the publisher announced that the series will return with a “Season 2” and a side story. This indicates that the series is breaking away from the traditional publication format to follow a more modern serialization strategy.
As reported by Anime News Network, the new manga serves as a continuation of the original series, bringing the Mirmo de Pon! universe into the present day. However, the announcement of a “Season 2” and an additional side story while the series has only just completed its first season reveals that Shinozuka and the publisher plan to tell the story in a longer-running and more layered manner. It is speculated that the side story will focus on one of the main characters or shed light on past events.
Mirmo de Pon! is a magical girl classic that was first serialized in Shogakukan’s Ciao magazine between 2002 and 2005, followed by a TV anime adaptation during the same period. The series follows the adventures of Mirmo, a mischievous fairy who comes to the human world. Having a nostalgic place for the generation that grew up in the early 2000s, the production has seen a resurgence in interest in recent years. This new manga, which Shinozuka launched in 2026, aims to win back old fans while also appealing to a new audience.
Although the term “Season 2” is usually used for anime series, it is becoming increasingly common in manga to denote groups of chapters or story arcs. This approach gives readers a sense of a clear beginning and end to the story while allowing the publisher flexible planning. The side story is expected to be published on digital platforms or in a special volume. While no clear release date has been announced yet, it is likely that Season 2 will meet readers by late 2026 or early 2027.
This development is a sign of the revived popularity of Mirmo de Pon!. The return of other memorable shoujo and mahou shoujo series from the 2000s with a similar “season” structure could create a new trend in the industry. Fans are eagerly waiting to see whether Season 2 will focus on the adventures of Mirmo and his friends in the modern world or in an entirely new time period. More details are expected from the publisher in the coming months.
