A Sign of Affection

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Suu Morishita's A Sign of Affection manga passed 7.8 million copies in circulation worldwide, the figure announced in May 2026 by the official X account for Kodansha's Dessert magazine. The manga launched in July 2019, the 14th compiled volume was released on May 13, and Morishita said earlier this year that the series is heading toward its climax.

The most recent development is merchandise. A line drawn from new Suu Morishita illustrations went up for pre-order, built around Yuki Itose and Itsuomi Nagi. Trading acrylic cards cost 715 yen each or 7,150 yen per box. The rest of the lineup includes glitter tin badges, bromides, illustration cards, extra-large and BIG acrylic stands, 75mm aurora tin badges, acrylic coasters, Itsuomi Nagi hologram tin badges, and an Ani-Frame set. AMNIBUS and Animate orders carry box bonuses.

Between the circulation milestone and the goods run, the throughline is a manga in its final stretch with a merchandise operation still running on newly drawn art rather than recycled key visuals. That is the extent of what the current coverage establishes.
