Ahead of the Friday release of the feature adaptation on Friday, Shogakukan's e-commerce portal has released a new line of appropriate merchandise for the BLUE GIANT anime film.

The film, directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa (Mob Psycho 100), is set to be released in Japan on February 17. Animation production is handled by NUT (DECA-DENCE). It was originally scheduled for release in 2022, but the production period has been extended to express the world of the film better.

 

The BLUE GIANT manga has been serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic since May 2013. Following the first arc set in Japan (May 2013 – August 2016) and the second arc, BLUE GIANT Supreme, set in Europe (September 2016 – April 2020), its story entered the third arc, BLUE GIANT Explorer, set in the United States in May 2020. 

 

Its English editions have been published by Seven Seas Entertainment since November 2020. The publisher describes it:

 

Dai lived a normal high school life in Sendai: a city of hot summer days and rainy nights. Between basketball, part time jobs, and an uncertain future, something was missing. And that thing was music. With his days in senior year running out, Dai swears a heartfelt vow: “I’m gonna be the best jazz player in the world.” But what do you need to be the best? Talent? Effort? A lucky break? Or maybe just a deep, pure love for music, and too much stubbornness to know when to quit.
