Anime production house Doga Kobo recently had to close down from April 6 to April 17 due to a mass outbreak of COVID-19 among staff members, and now some of its productions are feeling the effects. Chief among them is the TV anime adaptation of Keigo Maki’s romantic comedy manga Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie.
As a result of the earlier closure, the series will be seeing some delays in the coming weeks following episode 6. To buffer the upcoming schedule, two special programs will air in place of the anime on May 21 and June 11. For those keeping up with the series, you can look for episode 7 to arrive on May 28.
