Quintessential Quintuplets picture book to be reprinted
The first official photo book for The Perfect Five Year Olds will be reprinted just days after its initial release. Five Year Olds and Pancakes will cost 1,500 yen ($10.55) and will reappear in bookstores in Japan. [Thanks, PR Times!]
This picture book was released to commemorate the theatrical release of The Perfect Five Year Olds. Despite being released on September 12, 2024, many fans have reported that they were unable to purchase it or that they had already purchased the last copy. The high demand for it led to the decision to reprint the book even though it had just been released.
It tells the story of the Nakano family’s childhood, featuring a fun memory with their mother and some pancakes. Many fans have found it to be a lovely book, which may be why it’s so popular. Kodansha notes that the book’s location may vary depending on the bookstore. Some may place it alongside children’s picture books. Others may place it in the comics section. So if you can’t find it in one section, you may want to try looking elsewhere or asking an employee.
The The Perfect Five Year Olds Animated TV special will appear in theaters in Japan for a limited time. The film will be available for about three weeks from September 20, 2024.
