The manga ends with its 12th volume next spring, days after volume 11 arrived on September 11. Two adaptations are still rolling out: the anime premiered on January 11, and the live-action film opens in Japan on October 23.
In the Clear Moonlit Dusk is closing while its two adaptations are still in play. Mika Yamamori's manga ends with a 12th volume next spring, following the September 11 release of volume 11, which carries the announcement in its author's notes. The jacket band on volume 11 puts the series at 8.2 million copies in circulation globally.
The anime adaptation premiered on January 11, and the live-action film opens in Japan on October 23. The first episode drew a divided response: Anime Feminist's reviewer valued the story's look at rigid feminine beauty standards and the protagonist Yoi's discomfort at being misgendered as "The Prince," but objected that a conventionally soft character design undercut the premise and that the romance seemed set to reaffirm her femininity rather than let her keep her boyish traits.
For the film, Kentarō Takemura directs from a script by Yuichi Tokunaga, with music by Shū Kanematsu. TBS TV is overseeing production at TBS Sparkle, and TOHO distributes. Shunsuke Michieda and Seira Anzai star as Kohaku Ichimura and Yoi Takiguchi. Yūki Yoda plays Kohaku's childhood friend Yoshiko, and Naohito Fujiki plays Seiichi Takiguchi, Yoi's father and the owner of a curry restaurant. A trailer previewed the theme song "Moonlit" by Naniwa Danshi. Rintarō Mizusawa, Yuna Hoshino, Sayu Suzukawa, Takato Ōkura, and Tatsumi Asa are also in the cast.

Anime Feminist published a review of the first episode of the shojo romance series In the Clear Moonlit Dusk on January 15. The review describes the protagonist Yoi, a tall girl with a lower-pitched voice who has been nicknamed "The Prince" by her classmates. She is uncomfortable with the label but struggles to speak up. The episode introduces Ichimura, a popular boy also called "Prince," who is the first person to see past her reputation. The reviewer is of two minds about the premiere. On one hand, they value the story's exploration of how rigid feminine beauty standards can exclude girls from being seen as women. They note that Yoi experiences something like dysphoria due to being misgendered. On the other hand, the reviewer is disappointed that the series seems to be heading toward a romance that reaffirms Yoi's femininity rather than letting her embrace her boyish traits. They also criticize the character design, arguing that Yoi looks conventionally attractive with big eyes and soft features, which undercuts the premise of her being unfeminine. The reviewer finds the animation lovely and the leads have chemistry, but they remain frustrated with the broader trends the story represents. They place the show on their "It's Complicated" shelf.
