The visual for the collab features Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Kuro, Kenma, Miya Osamu, and Atsumu, Kita, Bokuto, and Akashi with their respective animal mascots, which correspond to their schools. 

Karasuno players have crows, Nekoma has cats, Inarizaki has foxes, and Fukorodani has owls as their mascots. These mascots were featured during the commercial break during season 4 of the anime.

Things like rubber keychains, badges, wooden popup stand, and clear files will be available for purchase during the fair. Some of these items can be reserved on the animate website.

Do not worry if the shops aren’t accessible to you during the fair due to obvious reasons. Due to this being an Animate collab, there’s a chance that some of the merchandise will be available on the international animate website for worldwide purchase.
