The cast also announced the news in a video:
The first batch of MoviTicke Cards for the film will go on sale on February 18 with bonus mini shikishi-style illustration cards drawn by director Sōichi Masui and character designer Satomi Tamura:
On that same day, the main Animate store branch in Tokyo's Akihabara district will distribute a postcard-sized Valentine illustration card with a QR code. The code links to a special voice message by Mai Sakurajima (as voiced by Asami Seto).
