Hakusensha released a collaboration PV for the 50th anniversary of its shoujo manga magazine LaLa. The video features Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club voiced by Mamoru Miyano and Takumi Usui from Maid-sama! voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto. The two characters engage in a lavish exchange while introducing anniversary initiatives. A special advertisement using the video is on display at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store in Tokyo.
The promotional video pairs two of LaLa's best-known male leads in a single conversation, with Mamoru Miyano returning as Tamaki Suoh and Nobuhiko Okamoto as Takumi Usui. The exchange introduces the magazine's anniversary plans rather than a new story.
Animate Ikebukuro Main Store is running a special advertisement using the video on its 165-inch signage through August 13, with a staircase display from the 2nd to 3rd floor until August 16. The Animate Umeda Store's Stage Han in Osaka features a birthday cake-shaped advertisement decorated with LaLa works including Ouran High School Host Club, Natsume's Book of Friends, and Snow White with the Red Hair.
The commemorative LaLa September issue, October issue, and LaLaDX September issue form three consecutive connecting covers, with Animate offering a purchase-exclusive anniversary book as a bonus.
