Excited about the return of the sweet high school sweethearts, Sasaki and Miyano? On Sunday, Kadokawa released a short, but sweet, 15-second online commercial for Sasaki to Miyano: Sotsugyo-hen (Graduation Chapter), a new anime film based on Shou Harusono’s manga Sasaki and Miyano. Kadokawa also shared information on the film’s theme tune as well as a new visual for the accompanying Hirano and Kagiura short.
In case you were off the BL radar for quite a while, it was announced previously that Sasaki to Miyano: Sotsugyo-hen would be accompanied by Shou Harasuno’s other manga, Hirano to Kagiura which follows the story of Miyano’s ultimate ship as they sail across love and its different adversaries. Meanwhile, the anime film, Sasaki to Miyano: Graduation Arc would focus more on what happens after Sasaki goes off to college and how the couple deals with new struggles in their everyday lives.
