Girls Band Cry

The Girls Band Cry franchise is expanding through merchandise and a console port of its spin-off game, with no new anime episodes announced since the original series concluded.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Jul 17

The Girls Band Cry franchise has been active in 2026 through two product releases that extend the brand beyond its original anime run. The spin-off game Momoka (o) Wassyoi, a 2D runner originally released on Steam, is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 23. The Switch version adds new stages, a playable version of protagonist Kawaragi Momoka's father Iseri Muneo, and a Truck Mode. The game tasks players with dodging obstacles to deliver a heavily drunk Momoka home.

In merchandise, a six-piece box of SD figures featuring the band members Nina Iseri, Subaru Awa, Momoka Kawaragi, Tomo Ebizuka, and Rupa opened for preorder at Amiami in June 2026. The set includes a box-limited edition Nina Iseri figure, bonus clear cards, foil-stamped cards, a poster, and a background board, priced at 14,100 yen and scheduled for release in August 2026.

The franchise also participated in the June 9 Rock Day promotional event, where anime and manga properties posted themed art and messages. The date is a wordplay on the numbers 6 (roku) and 9 (ku). No new anime episodes or a second season have been announced.
