Dropkick on My Devil! is a popular one in the comedy genre, but the fate of its renewal is always uncertain. Being a Jashin-chan fan is truly a struggle that not many have the patience for.
Due to the series relying on means like crowdfunding for production, there’s no way fans know when or if they’re getting new episodes. However, good things have started happening as the franchise’s recent campaign was a big hit.
The official Twitter handle for Dropkick on My Devil! has revealed that their crowdfunding campaign has raised over 100 million yen (approx. US$782,000).
After achieving such an incredible feat, the franchise now aims to apply for a Guinness World Record for the most money raised by an anime production project.

The staff had previously revealed on Twitter that if the campaign raises over 96,560,858 yen (approx. US$756,000), they will apply for a Guinness Record. As soon as they said this, the crowdfunding skyrocketed and was able to get over 100 million yen at the very last minute before closing.
This was a joyous moment for the staff and fans alike, as everyone wanted the anime to return. Now that they have successfully gathered the necessary amount to create more episodes, Jashin-chan and her antics are not going anywhere.

The series has been through a lot lately, with Furano City declining the funds and putting the whole production at an abrupt stop. To recover from this loss, the franchise had to turn to crowdfund, which was successful due to its amazing and supportive fans.
I can’t wait to see what the new episodes will bring for us.
