A web novel titled Prima Doll Encore (プリマドール・アンコール), written by Tōya Okano and illustrated by Maroyaka, has been periodically released on the project's official website since October 26, 2020.[2][3] Encore features spoken lines of dialogue and as a result is referred to as a "lite kinetic novel" in reference to Key's line of visual novels described as kinetic novels because their gameplay offers no choices or alternate endings.[4][5][6]

A series of short stories titled Prima Doll Interlude (プリマドール -interlude-), written by Kai and illustrated by Maroyaka, began serialization in ASCII Media Works's Dengeki G's Magazine with the December 2020 issue sold on October 30.[7][8] The serialization continued on a monthly basis until the November 2021 issue sold on September 30 when it was announced that it would halt temporarily.[9]

Anime[]

An anime television series, directed by Motoki Tanaka and animated by Bibury Animation Studios, will premiere in July 2022.[10] The screenplay is written by Kai and Tōya Okano. Character design is provided by Akane Yano who based the designs on original illustrations by Na-Ga, Fuzichoco, Yui Hara, En Morikura and Lack.[1] The opening theme song is "Tin Toy Melody" by Chat Noir (consisting of Azumi Waki, Tomori Kusunoki, Miyu Tomita, Yuki Nakashima and Akari Kitō).[11]

Other[]

In collaboration with plastic model and figurine manufacturer Kotobukiya, a series of 1/7 scale figurines of the characters was announced to be in production in October 2020.[12] A figurine of Haizakura was released on August 30, 2021,[13][14] and the limited edition release came bundled with the single "Kikaijikake no Sanka / Usuhanazakura" (機械仕掛けの賛歌 / 薄花桜, Mechanical Song of Praise / Light Pink). "Kikaijikake no Sanka" is sung by Azumi Waki, Tomori Kusunoki, Miyu Tomita, Yuki Nakashima and Akari Kitō; "Usuhanazakura" is sung by Waki.[15] A figurine of Karasuba was announced in May 2021.[16]
