Manga 'Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike' Gets TV Anime
An official website opened for a television anime adaptation of Aki Irie's Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike (Go with the Clouds, North-by-Northwest) manga on Wednesday, revealing a commemorative illustration by the original creator (pictured).
Irie originaly began serializing the supernatural drama manga in Harta in March 2016 before transferring it to the Aokishi magazine in April 2021, where it ran until February 2025 when she became a freelancer. Kadokawa published the seventh volume in February 2024. Yukiwarisou, a new publishing company, will release the first sequel volume on April 30.
Kodansha licensed the manga in English in 2018 and released the seventh volume in April 2025.
Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike was nominated for the 2019 Manga Taisho award. The manga also placed 11th in the Male Readers category in the 2019 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings and in the Unique Story/Art category in MyAnimeList's 2023 edition of You Should Read This Manga.
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Kei Miyama comes from a family with strange abilities. Birds flock to his grandfather as if he is the wind that carries them in the air itself. Kei, on the other hand, can talk to cars and prefers their company to humans—especially women. After moving to Iceland, Kei makes a living there as a freelance detective.
Whether it be resolving lovers' quarrels, locating missing people, or recovering lost items, Kei hops from case to case, traveling alone on the empty roads that span the rugged Icelandic landscape. But the secrets of the land of ice and fire are not the only mysteries ahead that Kei must unravel: an encounter with an aloof Icelandic beauty makes him recall local superstitions of ghosts that roam the wild lands at night.
