This visual was illustrated by Kazuki Yone, the character designer for every Hakuoki game and anime adaptation to date.

Before the release, a special screening will be held at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas in Tokyo, on November 13, 2021, for the first chapter. The screening will be followed by a talk session by the cast and staff.
