I’m more of a collector type, so I dug into what’s official after finishing 'Future Diary' and found a modest amount of side material. The main official extra everyone points to is the OVA 'Mirai Nikki: Redial'—it’s basically an epilogue/alternate close and feels intentionally made for fans who wanted closure. Aside from that, there are some officially published short stories, comedy strips, and small spin-off manga chapters that pop up in volumes or magazines; some are canon-ish while others are purely jokey.

There aren’t dozens of full-length spin-offs, but there’s enough extra content to enjoy if you want more character moments. If you care about official releases, check special edition manga volumes and OVA releases, and be prepared to rely on translations for a lot of the smaller pieces. Personally, I loved revisiting the cast through those extras—made the whole series feel fuller.

I've been hooked on 'Future Diary' since the anime first hooked me, and I was thrilled to find there are a few official extras that expand or play with the main story. The single most notable one is the OVA special 'Mirai Nikki: Redial' — it was released after the main anime and acts like an epilogue/alternate take that revisits key characters and ties up some emotional threads in a way the series didn't fully do onscreen. I watched it with a stupid grin and a lump in my throat; it feels like a proper little coda for fans who want something more than the original ending.

Beyond 'Redial' there are various official side materials: short bonus chapters, omake pages, and small spin-off manga or four-panel strips that treat the cast more comedically or focus on incidental moments. There are also light-novel-ish tie-ins and drama-CD-type extras in Japan from time to time. Not all of these are "deep lore"—some are gag-y, others expand on a scene or character—so you’ll find a mix of canon-adjacent epilogue material and lighter, non-canon fun. If you enjoyed the main series, hunting down 'Redial' and the extra manga pages is totally worth it.

I still tell people: if you loved 'Future Diary', don’t stop at the TV series—there’s at least one official epilogue you should watch. The OVA 'Mirai Nikki: Redial' is the clearest, best-known piece: it revisits the aftermath and gives a different emotional perspective that many fans find comforting. I watched it after finishing the anime and it changed how I thought about some characters, so I recommend seeing it after the main run.

Other official stuff exists but it’s scattered. There are side chapters and small spin-off comics (some four-panel gag strips and short one-shots) that usually show the characters in less dire, more slice-of-life or comedic scenarios. A few light-novel or booklet-style entries and drama-CDs were produced in Japan too. Availability in English is hit-or-miss, so you might run into fan translations for some of the smaller pieces. My tip: read or watch the main story first, then slot in 'Redial' as your epilogue, and treat the short spin-offs as tasty extras to rewatch when you want a lighter take on the cast.

Are there any spin-offs for tomorrows book?

I can confirm there are indeed spin-offs that expand the story in fascinating ways. One of the most notable is 'Tomorrow: Another Day', which delves deeper into the backstories of secondary characters, offering fresh perspectives on events from the main series. Another spin-off, 'Tomorrow: Nightfall', explores the darker, supernatural elements only hinted at in the original, adding layers to the lore. For fans craving more emotional depth, 'Tomorrow: Echoes' focuses on the unresolved relationships and what-ifs that left readers yearning for more. There's also 'Tomorrow: Chronicles', a collection of short stories that tie up loose ends and introduce new mysteries. Each spin-off maintains the original's gripping narrative style while carving out its own identity. If you loved the world-building and character dynamics of 'Tomorrow', these spin-offs are must-reads to fully immerse yourself in its universe.

Are there any sequels to S Diary?

Man, 'S Diary' was such a wild ride—I remember watching it back in college with my friends, and we couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of the plot. The idea of a woman tracking down her exes to compare their... ahem, performances? Hilarious. As for sequels, though, I’ve dug around and haven’t found anything official. There’s a tonal cousin in 'Sex Is Zero', which has that same raunchy comedy vibe, but nothing directly continuing the story. Maybe it’s for the best—some stories are perfect as one-offs, and 'S Diary' definitely leaves an impression on its own.
