With the Rascal Does Not Dream franchise preparing for its film Rascal Does Not Dream of Dear Friend, a summer event series is now underway.
The Aobuta Summer Festival officially opened today, with a range of events held mainly in the Fujisawa area. Organizers are inviting fans to make the season memorable with the #Aobuta hashtag.
For fans, the festival offers a way to take part in events around Fujisawa ahead of the film's release. Full details are available on the official site at ao-buta.com/summer2026/.
AniHeat's take: Worth noting for fans who want to join local events in Fujisawa ahead of the film, with details on the official summer page.
