Fans of the Given franchise will soon return to the world of music and romance with a new prequel OVA set to premiere in Fall 2025. This upcoming entry, animated by Larx Entertainment and Lerche, adapts the "10th Mix" chapter of the manga, offering a glimpse into the characters' lives before the events depicted in Given the Movie: To the Sea.
The OVA promises to explore the "dazzling present" of the characters and those close to them, serving as an epilogue to their growth since "those days." While the specific narrative focus remains under wraps, its prequel status suggests it will delve into the relationships and emotional landscapes that shaped the band's journey prior to their major milestones.
This release continues the franchise's tradition of exploring nuanced character development within the boys' love genre. Following the success of the TV series and film, this OVA offers long-time fans a chance to revisit beloved characters and deepen their understanding of the bonds that define the Given universe.
