On July 11, 2026, Aniplex and the official Uchi no Otomo-domo ga Sumimasen website confirmed a Blu-ray/DVD rollout for the series. The first volume is now scheduled for September 30, 2026, and the limited edition bundles several items that make this more than a routine home-video announcement: a release-event lottery serial code, a Lay-duce-drawn box, non-credit opening and ending videos, a drama CD, and a booklet. What Was Announced The official Blu-ray/DVD page lays out the first volume clearly. Volume 1 will contain episodes 1 through 3 and arrive on September 30, 2026. The Blu-ray limited edition is priced at ¥9,900, while the DVD limited edition is priced at ¥8,800.

On June 24, 2026, the LaLa 50th Anniversary Original Art Exhibition project announced that the long-running shoujo manga magazine LaLa will be celebrated with a large-scale exhibition in Tokyo and Osaka. The event, titled LaLa Original Art Exhibition: The Creation of Enchantment , is built around a simple but unusually strong idea: let readers look at the originals. More than 200 original pages from 76 creators will be gathered, turning five decades of serialized magazine history into a physical exhibition rather than a digital recap. What Was Announced The official site gives the exhibition a two-city structure. Tokyo comes first, running from July 17 to August 3, 2026, at the special venue on the 11th floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya. Osaka follows from September 5 to September 27, 2026, at Namba Parks Museum.
