Fujimi is expanding two hobby lines at once. Its Train-NEXT railway series and Car NEXT kits share the same snap-fit, pre-colored approach, with the newest Jimny kits scheduled for December 17, 2026.
Two of the four stories that mention Fujimi are about the company's model kit business, and both are about the same idea: plastic models that snap together without glue and come molded in color. In July, Fujimi Model announced the 1/150 Train-NEXT Series, an N scale line whose first releases are 2-car sets of the Enoden 1000 Series and Enoden 1100 Series, each priced at 4,400 yen with a release date of October 28, 2026. The kits use pre-colored parts and stickers for color separation, and the publisher has included bonus parts and compatibility with TOMYTEC railway model parts.
In September, Fujimi extended the same approach to its 1/24 Car NEXT Series with two versions of the Suzuki Jimny JB23 (Land Venture). The pearl white kit is priced at 4,950 yen and the non-color kit at 5,170 yen. Both are 1/24 scale, measure about 165 by 77 by 72 mm, and are scheduled for release on Thursday, December 17, 2026.
The remaining two stories are not about the model kit business. One concerns the light novel series Victoria of Many Faces, written by Syuu and Nanna Fujimi, whose television anime adaptation at Studio DEEN was renewed for a second season and a special episode on September 1, 2026. The other is about Manga Up! Global adding two Square Enix manga in English, including Fumi Ito's Escape from the Seventh Night. Neither of these additions changes what is known about Fujimi's kit releases.

Kadokawa announced on Wednesday that the television anime of Syuu and Nanna Fujimi's light novel series Victoria of Many Faces will receive a second season and a new special episode. The announcement came alongside a new visual. The first season premiered on TV Tokyo and its affiliated channels on July 7 and concluded with its ninth episode on Tuesday. A recap episode is scheduled for next Tuesday. The anime is directed by Nobukage Kimura at Studio DEEN, with Naohiro Fukushima overseeing series scripts and Mina Osawa designing the characters. The cast includes Chika Anzai as Victoria, Shion Wakayama as Nonna, Yōhei Azakami as Jeffrey, and Kenji Nojima as Lancome. Haku. performs the opening theme song "Isshin," and KI_EN performs the ending theme song "En no Tsuki."

A manga adaptation by Komo Ushino launched on Kadokawa's Flos Comic website in December 2022, with its seventh compiled volume shipped on July 17. Yen Press publishes both the light novel and manga in English.
