The Quintessential Quintuplets

The Quintessential Quintuplets remains active as a merchandise and licensing property. Kadokawa opened pre-orders for Nino and Miku Nakano plastic models tied to the TV special anime, and AMNIBUS took orders for a pastel starry sky maid goods line earlier in the year.

The Quintessential Quintuplets is not currently defined by a new anime announcement in these stories. Its recent activity is licensing and merchandise around existing characters. In October 2026, Kadokawa opened pre-orders for Nino Nakano and Miku Nakano plastic models in its KADOKAWA PLASTIC MODEL SERIES. Both are assembly kits about 165mm tall with molded and pre-painted color, three facial expression parts each, and optional parts such as a school bag and smartphone. Kadostore orders include a bonus expression part, and Nino's listing also has a special set, with the Kadostore deadline set for November 25, 2026.

That followed an earlier goods run. AMNIBUS took orders for The Quintessential Quintuplets merchandise featuring the five Nakano sisters in pastel-toned starry sky maid outfits under the Ani-Art KAWAII label. The lineup included trading badges, acrylic stands, keychains, and more, with orders open until August 5, 2026, and shipments starting in late October.

The series also appeared in broader seasonal and streaming coverage. ABEMA recommended The Quintessential Quintuplets alongside Sword Art Online and SPY×FAMILY for Proposal Day on June 7, noting each has a notable proposal moment, and ABEMA is streaming all three series. The label on the model kit listings is the clearest current tie-in: the kits are tied to the TV special anime rather than to the original series or a new production.
