The movie is slated to premiere in Japan on February 13, 2026, with an international release confirmed for several territories, including the United States and parts of Europe and Latin America.
A Glimpse into the Compilation Film’s Contents
The newly released main trailer offers fans a deeper look into the film, which serves as a special compilation of the beloved television anime’s first and second seasons. Beyond re-edited sections of the existing anime, the movie will feature brand new content that delves into events following Season 2. This includes a live performance scene by Kyotaro’s sister, Kana Ichikawa, and a pivotal moment between the main duo, Kyotaro Ichikawa and Anna Yamada, hinting at the further development of their endearing relationship.
The main visual showcases Kyotaro Ichikawa and Anna Yamada against a backdrop of beautiful cherry blossoms, emphasizing their unique and strengthening bond.
Yorushika Returns for the Theme Song
Adding another layer of anticipation, popular music duo Yorushika has been announced to perform the film’s theme song, titled “Akane” (also referred to as “Madder”).
