Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Sasaki and Miyano: Exclusive Scenarios and Voice Bonuses
The much-awaited volume 11 of Haruzono Shou's beloved manga series, Sasaki and Miyano, has officially hit the stands today, February 27th. It is a very big day for the fans who have been following this sweet story for years now. To make this launch even more special, Animate is coming out with some really cool offers. They are not just providing a replica mini colored paper as a bonus, but they are also selling a special "Animate Set." This set is quite a catch because it includes a serial code for a short voice drama download, which is perfect for those who want to hear their favorite characters come to life.
But that is not all! To mark a decade of this wonderful journey, a 10th Anniversary Fair is being held for a limited period, starting now and running until March 29th. It is actually the best time to be a fan because the celebrations are spread across various platforms and locations. If you are a fan of this series, you already know Sasaki and Miyano is a must-watch and must-read for any slice-of-life lover.
Special Voice Benefits and New Scenarios
During this 10th Anniversary Fair, if you go and purchase or even reserve any products related to Sasaki and Miyano or its spin-off, Hirano and Kagiura, you are in for a treat. Customers will get a "Pokedra Serial" code. This code lets you download specific voice benefits that are tied to the products you bought. It’s a very nice way to keep the fans engaged with high-quality content.
The voice cast is also top-notch, featuring some very popular names in the industry:
- Yusuke Shirai is returning to voice the cool and charming Hideaki Sasaki.
- Soma Saito is once again lending his voice to the adorable Yumi Miyano.
There are a total of 6 different voice types available. Among these, the "Interview Pretend Sasaki Edition" and the "Miyano Edition" are very special because they feature a newly written scenario by the author, Haruzono herself. Additionally, there is "A Short Interview with Yusuke Shirai and Soma Saito," which is a fresh recording where the actors share their thoughts. This kind of behind-the-scenes content is exactly why Sasaki and Miyano remains so close to the hearts of its followers.
JR Ikebukuro Station Commemorative Advertisement
To further celebrate 10 years of serialization, the makers have even put up a massive transportation advertisement. If you happen to be in Tokyo, you can spot this beautiful display right outside the north exit ticket gate of JR Ikebukuro Station. It is a great spot for fans to take photos and soak in the 10th-anniversary vibes. However, you should hurry if you want to see it in person, as the posting period is only until March 1st. It’s truly amazing to see how much this series has grown from its early days to becoming a global phenomenon in the BL genre.
