The long-running manga Older Men Like Cute Things (Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki.) is reaching its conclusion. According to retail listings for the 13th compiled volume, the series by creator Tsutomu will wrap up its run when the final book hits shelves on October 15.
First launching on the Comic Polis web service in 2017, the story highlights the life of Mitsutaka Oji, a 40-year-old professional who maintains a cool, stoic exterior while harboring a deep, secret affection for cute mascots and small trinkets. The contrast between his polished corporate persona and his hidden hobby has served as the backbone for the series' comedic tone for the past seven years.
This announcement arrives just as the franchise sees a surge in visibility. A television anime adaptation is set to begin its broadcast run on October 4 on Tokyo MX, with subsequent airings on BS Asahi and YTV following shortly after. This transition to animation follows a previous live-action television adaptation that aired in 2020, solidifying the title's status as a staple of the "cozy comedy" genre.
