The BLUE GIANT franchise is active with a new spin-off volume on the way and a Sendai-based fan event scheduled for September 2026.
The BLUE GIANT franchise currently has two points of activity in 2026. The first is the upcoming Sendai event, announced in full on August 23, 2026. Titled "The Homecoming of BLUE GIANT," the event runs from September 11, 2026, and turns the protagonist's hometown into a city-wide experience. It includes a special exhibition at Sendai Station Front EBeanS, limited goods, corporate collaborations, and a stamp rally across six locations. EBeanS customers can also receive original stickers as part of a campaign.
The second point of activity is the manga side. The Kindle bestseller ranking for June 26, 2026, lists "BLUE GIANT MOMENTUM" Vol. 8 as a pre-order title. The volume sits alongside other pre-orders and new releases, indicating the spin-off series continues to produce new volumes. The ranking, published by Dengeki Hobby Web, covers the top 20 comic volumes on Amazon's Kindle store in Japan.
Together, the two stories show the franchise expanding through both a physical event and ongoing manga publication. The Sendai event ties directly to the original work's setting, while the new volume suggests the spin-off line remains in circulation.
