In the lead-up to the theatrical release of "Seishun Buta Yarou wa Dear Friend no Yume wo Minai" (Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend), the staff released the twelfth memorial visual of the series on June 14, 2026. It depicts Miori Mito, a first-year student at the same university as protagonist Sakuta Azusagawa. The character refers to herself as a "friendship candidate" and attends lectures together with Sakuta. The motif shows Miori with a thoughtful expression, accompanied by the line: "Don't you know? The Adolescence Syndrome." Alongside the still image, a short animated clip (Memorial Visual Movie) was released.
The memorial visual series began as a weekly event every Sunday, gradually presenting new illustrations of all the heroines from the series so far. With Miori Mito, the twelfth character is now featured. The final film, "Seishun Buta Yarou wa Dear Friend no Yume wo Minai," is scheduled to hit Japanese theaters on October 16, 2026. It serves as the concluding part of the "Aobuta" series, based on the light novel series of the same name by Hajime Kamoshida (text) and Keiji Mizoguchi (illustrations). The film resolves the final mysteries surrounding the Adolescence Syndrome.
The previously released memorial visuals include characters such as Mai Sakurajima, Shoko Makinohara, and Kaede Azusagawa. The voice of Miori Mito is provided by Manaka Iwami. The film is once again directed by Soichi Masui, with a screenplay by Masahiro Yokotani, character design by Satomi Tamura, and music by the band fox capture plan. Animation production is handled by CloverWorks.
