Posted by Noon Anime Team on November 20, 2025
Hold onto your hats, anime fans, because we have some bittersweet news coming straight from the world of manga! The incredible one-shot series from the legendary Yasuo Ohtagaki, titled 'Candy Box Creations,' has officially reached its conclusion. It feels like just yesterday—this past December, in fact—that we were celebrating the launch of this exciting new venture from the mastermind behind modern classics like Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt and Moonlight Mile. It was a short but incredibly sweet ride, and its finale has left us wanting more!
For those who jumped into this creative whirlwind, you know that 'Candy Box Creations' was a true showcase of Ohtagaki's immense talent and versatility. The one-shot format allowed him to explore a variety of different worlds, characters, and concepts, with each chapter feeling like a unique treat pulled from a master confectioner's box. One moment we were in a gritty sci-fi epic, the next in a heartfelt drama. This series was a testament to the power of the short story format and a brilliant display of a master mangaka at play.
While we're sad to see the lid close on this particular candy box, we're also incredibly excited for what this means for the future. With this project wrapped up, what will Yasuo Ohtagaki unleash on the world next? A return to his beloved long-running series, or another brand-new universe to get lost in? Whatever it is, you can bet we'll be here at Noon Anime to cover it! For now, let's celebrate the fantastic, compact journey that was 'Candy Box Creations'!
