Gashapon Bandai Official Shops and Gashapon Official Shop @ASAKUSA will start early sales on October 9, ahead of the general release.

The announcement places the series inside Bandai's HG gashapon figure series, a line the company describes as sculpting details down to the finest points.","whyItMatters":"Bandai is putting an established manga property into a 500 yen capsule format, and the company expects enough demand to schedule restocks before the first run ships.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe four-figure set covers the main cast as a group rather than releasing characters one at a time.
