The announcement came alongside the licensing of Matsuo's Department Store Waltz and the Belles Ruelles anthology series. No release date for Rondo has been set.

The Rondo license is Udon's latest addition to its catalog of all-color manga and art books. The company also set release dates for previously announced titles at the same event, including Manga Biographies volumes and art books for Spy x Family, Shinkiro's Capcom and SNK works, Hidetaka Tenjin's Gundam book, and The Art of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Separately, Good Smile Company is re-releasing its MODEROID plastic model kit of the main mecha Vilkiss from the anime Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon. A Final Battle version, exclusive to the Good Smile Company official shop, will launch simultaneously. Both kits are scheduled for release in November 2026. The re-release and new variant give fans of the 2014 mecha series a second chance to acquire a detailed, transforming model of the show's central machine.
