The manga series "Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest" (original title: "北北西に曇と往け / Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Yuke") by Aki Irie is being adapted into a TV anime. The creator announced this on Wednesday and simultaneously released a special illustration to celebrate the news.
The story, described as a "juvenile mystery," is set in Iceland at Lands End on the 64th northern latitude. It centers on 17-year-old Kei Miyama, who can mysteriously communicate with cars but struggles with beautiful women. The teenager works as a detective and solves various cases—from searching for runaway pets to personal fate-related incidents.
The manga began in March 2016 in the magazine Harta and later moved to Aokishi (KADOKAWA). In February 2025, it was announced that the series would leave the magazine. The continuation is now being published under the new publisher Yukiwariso—the first volume of "Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest Zoku no 1" will be released on April 30, 2026.
Aki Irie expressed her excitement in a comment: "Back when I realized that moving images shouldn't actually be possible, I was deeply moved by this miracle of animation. Everyone who wants to see Kei and Liliya speak and move can look forward to it!" Further details such as the broadcast date or voice cast will be announced at a later time.
