Touken Ranbu Stage Stars Take anan Covers for 10th Anniversary
The cover placement puts two 2.5D stage leads on a mainstream women's weekly, with the tie-in built around the anniversary performance rather than the game the stage plays adapt.

Hiroki Suzuki and Yoshihiko Aramaki, who play Mikazuki Munechika and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro in the Touken Ranbu stage plays, appear on the front and back covers of anan issue 2517, on sale October 28. The special edition marks the stage series' 10th anniversary and carries 24 color pages with all 13 swords of the Yoden performance, plus cover-style cards, senjafuda-style stickers, and a long interview with writer-director Kenichi Suemitsu.
The magazine is anan issue 2517, and both covers carry special processing tied to the swords and costumes the stage staff made for the production. Inside, the center pages gather the 13 swords appearing in the anniversary performance "Touken Ranbu Yoden: The Moon, the Sun, and the Stars," with solo cuts and interviews for each and a group shot of all 13. Kenichi Suemitsu, who has written and directed the stage series since its 2016 start, gives a long interview on the series' stories, this performance, and future plans. The supplement holds cover-style cards of the solo cuts and senjafuda-style stickers.
