The star of Anbe's series is a squid with poorly-thought-through plans of world domination. She crossed over with Splatoon in official artwork shared by Nintendo while the game's Inklings were drawn by Anbe for Weekly Shōnen Champion and Famitsū magazines.
On Wednesday the official Splatoon Japan Twitter tweeted an image to the official Weekly Shōnen Champion to mark the end of Shinryaku! Ika Musume. The tweet says "After nine years of squid research, we'd like sincerely express our thanks."
