The official website for the television anime of Aki Irie's Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest (Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Yuke) manga began streaming on Friday the first promotional video, and it reveals that Tomohiro Ōno will star as Kei Miyama. The website also unveiled a visual and the 2027 premiere on TBS with worldwide exclusive streaming on Netflix. Netflix streamed an English-subtitled version of the trailer:
Vertical licensed the manga in 2018. Kodansha USA Publishing is now releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:
From the creator of Ran And The Gray World, Aki Irie. The story takes place in Iceland, at land's end, 64ºN. Kei Miyama is a 17-year-old with three secrets: he can talk to cars, he can't handle pretty girls, and he works as a private investigator. One case has him searching for a beloved dog, another involves reuniting a woman with a man she fell for at first sight. And then comes a case that strikes close to home-searching for his own little brother. Tag along as this globe-spanning journey unfolds…
Irie launched Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest in 2016 in Harta. The manga moved to Kadokawa's Aokishi from Harta when the former launched. After Aokishi stopped serializing the series in February 2025, a new company Yukiwarisо̄ announced in October 2025 that it would publish it. The first compiled book volume of the manga's "second series," a continuation of the original series under new publishing and volume counts, shipped on April 30. The original manga's seventh volume shipped in Japan in 2024.
