is there any Daishou merch or does he only show up in the background of the handfan?
Hello, and apologies for the late reply! Unfortunately, the background of the handfan is the only merchandise where Daishou shows up. Rest assured that we did our best to ensure there are a variety of characters that make an appearance in our merchandise and within the zine itself, so pay close attention to our previews for sneak peeks of your favourites!
Hi I’m trying to use the OMIOMI code but it’s not working even though the price comes out to be over $80 after shipping is calculated
Hello! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This issue has been resolved, and more details about the situation can be found in our statement here.

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place but what is the @ of your finance & shipping mod?
Hello! We recently replaced our previous finance mod, JJ, and welcomed a new member onto the team. Cara, who can be found @carajayletters on Twitter (X), will be handling finance and production from now on.
Hi there! I haven't seen any news so I don't think I've missed anything, but has there been an announcements for when preorders will be open/start? Just wanted to make sure I haven't missed any updates because I am SUPER excited for this zine! Thank you!
Hello! Apologies for the silence on our part. Rest assured, you have not missed any news, and we are happy to inform you that we have just announced our official Preorders date on all our social media! Future updates such as countdowns will also be posted over the next few weeks to keep everyone updated on the status of Preorders. Thank you so much for your support to this zine!
Will any characters from Shiratorizawa appear in this zine or merch?
Hello! We do have characters from Shiratorizawa featured in both page art and merch art.
Hello! What day and time should we be expecting rejection/acceptance emails?
Hello! Application results will be sent on April 30, at around 12AM GMT+8. We will be releasing an announcement on our social media once the emails have been sent out!
Hello! Would it be okay to ask how many apps, in total or by role, whichever, have you received? I'm curious 👀
Hi! We received over 200 applications in total! Unfortunately, we can't share details any more specific than that as we would like to avoid rejected applicants feeling bad about themselves or their skill after knowing their competition. We hope this helps, though!
can i ask how many apps your received for each role?
Hello! Unfortunately, we have made the decision to not release the specific application numbers for each role to avoid any of the rejected applicants feeling bad upon finding out. We hope you understand!
are you still looking for applications for all roles? or are there any you already have enough applications for?
Hi there! Although we would like more applications for merch artists and writers in particular, we are open to applications from anybody.
Hello! For artists a requirement for samples is at least one fully illustrated background. Is there a specific amount of detail you are looking for when it comes to that?
Hi there! Thank you for your question. Background execution can vary from person to person, so the amount of detail doesn’t necessarily equate how well a piece can be brought together. Some pieces may work better with minimal details, and others may work better with a detail-heavy environment. That being said, we strongly encourage you to curate a portfolio that highlights the range of your skillset.
We ask that you submit your best works in respect with the requirements, and we will base our grading around them. Hope this helps!
So, I was reading the requirements to become a writer and I was a bit confused about the pitches. Could you please explain a bit further about what these pitches are?
Hello! Pitches are, simply put, ideas you would like to submit to this zine. It will help us gauge what you would like to create for this zine. Do note that they're not final, and applicants will be given the opportunity to change their pitches upon acceptance, but it gives us some understanding of the topics and themes each applicant are willing to handle. Hope this helps!
in your carrd it says "All applicants are required to be age 16 or above by March 28 2022." did you mean 2022 or 2023?
Our Carrd information is not updated due to some issues we are having accessing it at the moment. We mean 2023!
can you update your carrd to reflect the updated app deadlines?
Hello! We would like to acknowledge your, and the other concerns we have received regarding the details on our Carrd. We are having some trouble making changes to it due to issues with the site, but are doing our best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, please refer to our Info Document (http://tinyurl.com/haikyuuidolzine) for updated information!
i asked this in an email but are the physical bundles going to be album styled? like every package is a different idol or do we get a little bit of everyone? thank u :))
Hello! Thank you for contacting us, we definitely have hopes for physical bundles to be packaged like albums, but have not finalised the design or concept just yet. It's also not guaranteed at the moment, and might depend on sales. However, we will keep this idea on mind during creation, and will be sure reveal our plan for this in greater detail later on!
why did u extend apps?
Hello! We extended applications because we needed more applications for some roles and also received feedback that it would be helpful to some interested applicants who needed slightly more time to submit.
