Sorry. Still no sign of a Himouto! Umaru-chan anime season two, or even a new OVA. At this rate, we'll never find out who voices Hikari Kongō! But, for the time being, we can park those ambitions and let Umaru be Umaru as series author Sankaku Head provided some tribute art of the character in full-hamster mode enjoying her cake.

Capcom, which is doing a Monster Hunter collaboration, also wished her a happy birthday.

In other Umaru doings, the Himouto! Umaru-chan SS chibi spin-off did a pre-school gag in the October issue.
