Sasaki to Miyano Movie Release Date: The Sasaki and Miyano manga by Sho Harusono, which began publishing on pixiv Comic in 2016, has thus far accumulated nine volumes, but the series is still running. Rapidly gaining popularity, it inspired Kotoko Hachijo to develop a two-volume novel adaptation. In 2019, Harusono began developing a spin-off series titled Hirano and Kagiura, which now consists of three volumes. She did this after realising that people adored her characters.
The anime adaptation of Sasaki and Miyano’s manga, consisting of 12 episodes and an OVA, was released in 2022. Crunchyroll offers audiences in North America access to the Studio Deen-produced programme. The official Twitter account for Sasaki and Miyano announced a continuation of the series as an animated film on June 10, 2022. In addition to the main picture, a bonus short film based on the Hirano and Kagura series will be published.
A comprehensive summary of Sasaki and Miyano
Sasaki and Miyano is about the budding relationship between two teenage males. Yoshikazu Miyano assists Shuumei Sasaki in settling a dispute between students, and Shuumei Sasaki immediately falls in love with him. Unaware that Miyano appears to solely read Boys’ Love (BL), a genre that focuses on male romantic relationships, Sasaki requests to borrow a manga in order to get to know Miyano better.
As they discuss the manga they have been reading, Sasaki and Miyano become rapidly inseparable. After Sasaki’s courageous declaration of love, Miyano finds it difficult to fathom his emotions and needs time to conclude their relationship. Harusono’s narrative addresses the different difficulties of BL stories, such as how they may alter a young person’s perception of his or her own identity, while appreciating the genre as a whole.
In the series, which has been praised for its handling of adolescent love and sexuality, fans like how Miyano defies various BL stereotypes (even as he attempts to navigate his experiences using those very tropes). He uses the knowledge he acquires from reading to build his relationships with others, so enhancing his confidence and communication abilities. He illustrates that BL may serve as both an entertaining read for readers and a useful tool for normalising same-sex relationships.
Who Are Kagiura and Hirano?
Sasaki and Miyano’s supporting cast includes Taiga Hirano and Akira Kagura. Hirano is Miyano’s senior classmate and fellow Disciplinary Committee member. Since they are both students and friends, he is Shuumei Sasaki’s primary tie to Miyano. Hirano is initially sceptical of Sasaki’s intentions, but as he sees the development of their relationship, he begins to loosen up. Despite only appearing briefly in Sasaki and Miyano, Akira Kagiura is revealed to be Hirano’s roommate in the student dormitories and a basketball player for the school.
As a fan of BL, Miyano is regularly amused by the tropes that Hirano and Kagura appear to personify, such as the roommate trope and the underclassman and upperclassman stereotype. Several Sasaki and Miyano fans expressed interest in the series’ secondary relationship, so they were ecstatic to learn that the Hirano and Kagura spin-off began airing in 2019. (there are presently three volumes and the series is ongoing)
The story focuses on the titular pair and the mischief they get into while living together in the dorms. Readers will like the novel perspective on the group of characters, which allows them to witness Sasaki’s actions when he is not with Miyano or giving his love interest his undivided attention. Similar to Kagiura in Sasaki and Miyano, Miyano has a minor role in this story and is often just briefly mentioned. As readers discover more about Hirano and Kagiura, they meet new people, such as Kagiura’s sympathetic classmate and friend Juuya Niibashi.

What Is Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation About?
Miyano finally tells Sasaki how he feels at the end of the first season, and the two guys decide to date until the sixth volume of the manga. The video and teaser photos have led fans to believe that the film will begin where the anime left off, covering at least the majority of the seventh volume of the manga. Fans have expressed eagerness to view a number of crucial events revealed in the movie.
In prior chapters and episodes, Sasaki and Miyano discussed their dating plans with a select circle of their friends while simultaneously preparing for Sasaki’s high school graduation and college entrance exams. Sasaki’s graduation and other characters’ discovery of the pair are likely to be featured in the film. In addition to the Sasaki and Miyano: Graduation film, there will also be a short film based on the manga Hirano and Kagura.
There will be new merchandise, pop-up stores and cafés, key graphics, and other promotions building up to the release of the films in Japan on February 17, 2023. However, based on the precedent set by films such as the Given film and Fruits Basket: Prelude, both of which were made available to North American audiences on Crunchyroll approximately six to eight months after their Japanese debut, it is possible that it will be released within this time frame. Many worldwide fans eagerly await the news of the film’s global release date.
