Chou Kaguya Hime!

Chou Kaguya-hime! is expanding into VR, a live event, and a manga spinoff following its Netflix run and a theatrical revival that adds premium formats. The film's deluxe Blu-ray drew enough demand for a second reservation window.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 20

Chou Kaguya-hime! began as a Netflix film and has since moved into theaters in premium formats and into new media. A revival screening adds MX4D, 4DX, SCREENX, ULTRA 4DX, and Dolby Atmos from Friday, September 18. The theatrical run has drawn over 1 million admissions and 2 billion yen.

The film's physical media demand led to a second reservation window for the deluxe limited edition Blu-ray. The initial 100,000-unit allocation sold out within days, and the official store opened additional reservations from May 28 to June 11, with a second 100,000-unit cap for later shipping.

In August, Twin Engine launched the web manga label Bibibi Comic with 31 titles, including Chou Kaguya Meshi!, an official spinoff set ten years after the movie. The spinoff is written by Teruya based on a plot by director Yamashita.

By September, the first episode of the information program Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving Festival INFO revealed the VR Tsukuyomi World and 3D models of Sakayori Iroha and Tsukimi Yachiyo. The tutorial area opens on VRChat at midnight on Friday, September 25. A free live, Tsukuyomi Thanksgiving Festival ~Mecha Uma Pancake Party~, runs December 26 at 21:00 on the film's official YouTube and VRChat.
