When will the next episodes of Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie be aired?
The news, that the next episodes of the series will be getting delayed, came as a shock to everyone who got attached to Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie. The official site has announced that the production house, Doga Kobo, has to shut down its work temporarily due to the COVID-19 outbreak within the company.
With the announcement, it was revealed that unfortunately, a few of the staff members of Doga Kobo have tested positive for COVID-19. They will have to halt their production for a few weeks to bring the situation under control. Moreover, the company has to take precautions to stop the virus from spreading to other staff members and people outside.
In the previous month as well, the production house Doga Kobo had to close its doors for 11 days from April 6 to April 18 due to a virus outbreak.
