Nakamu, a writer, entered the tabletop role-playing game space in June 2026 with their first TRPG scenario, "Theater Limelight." The scenario is set in a dilapidated Brooklyn movie theater and uses the Emoklore system. It supports two players and runs 4 to 5 hours. A commemorative live stream is scheduled for June 13.
Prior to this, Nakamu's name appeared in coverage of several anime adaptations, though not as a creator. In stories about "Go For It, Nakamura-kun!!," Nakamu is not directly involved; the series is based on Syundei's manga and directed by Aoi Umeki at studio Drive. The adaptation has drawn both praise for its nostalgic visual style and criticism for uncomfortable humor in episode 8, and Syundei left X after alleged harassment. Nakamu is also not credited in "Though I Am an Inept Villainess," an anime adaptation of Satsuki Nakamura's light novel, directed by Mitsue Yamasaki at Doga Kobo, premiering July 12. Similarly, Nakamu is not mentioned in coverage of "Honō no Tōkyūjo: Dodge Danko" or "Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid."
The name "Nakamura Hak" appears in stories about the "Witch Hat Atelier" anime, where they provide three ending theme songs, including "Hikari" and "Tada Utsukushii Noroi." Nakamura Hak is a singer-songwriter, not the same person as Nakamu. The dossier for Nakamu is therefore limited to their TRPG scenario writing, as no other stories in the cluster establish further work or involvement in anime production.

The keynote, led by producer and director Naoki Yoshida, introduced the new tank job Bastion, which wields a weapon called Magic Armor that functions as both a shield and a cannon, capable of switching between melee and ranged attacks. Bastion is an ancient martial art inherited by the royal family ruling Elsrend Island and starts at level 90, with its job quest beginning in Limsa Lominsa. The expansion is set in the Fourth World, an ice-bound realm where humanity lives on five giant airships called Continent Ships.

The main quest Part 2 arrives as Patch 7.56 on September 8, leading into the expansion. Post-launch, Patch 8.0 will introduce customizable teleport and job action animations, with further customization and expanded race-specific options like nose darkness for Lalafell and Viera and horn changes for Au Ra arriving in Patch 8.1.

The anime adaptation of Syundei's manga Go For It, Nakamura-kun!! premiered its first two episodes, directed by Aoi Umeki. The series follows Okuto Nakamura, a high school student who falls in love with his classmate Aiki Hirose but struggles to act on his feelings. Anime Feminist's review praises the show for its nostalgic visual style, which pays homage to Rumiko Takahashi's works, while updating the narrative to avoid outdated queer tropes. Nakamura self-identifies as gay early in episode 1, a detail the review highlights as normalizing. The comedy relies on Nakamura's overthinking and failed plans, yet he charms Hirose without realizing it. The review notes the adaptation has limited source material-the original one-shot and a follow-up book are short-but expresses cautious optimism about how the anime will expand the story. Episode 2 includes a standout experimental animation sequence. The show is compared to other gentle comedies like Aharen-san and My Love Mix-Up!, and is described as a comfort watch with potential for deeper themes.
