Sasaki and Miyano's first theatrical installment features the same creative team as the anime series. Shinji Ishihira (Fairy Tail) and Yoshiko Nakamura resumed their respective roles as Director and Scriptwriter. Masaki Mayuzumi and Makii Fujii returned to their respective roles as Art Director and Character Designer. Miracle Chimpanzee, which performs Sasaki and Miyano's opening theme, also provides the theme song for Graduation.

Pride Month is celebrated for the entire month of June and what better way to commemorate all things queer than by diving into the most recent Boys Love anime titled Sasaki and Miyano, a series that depicts the queer experience from a new and refreshing angle. Following the lives of high school students Sasaki (Yusuke Shirai) and Miyano (Soma Saito) and their friends, the anime casts a light on the tricky path that adolescents tread towards identifying new feelings. But as much as the series focuses on the growing closeness between Sasaki and Miyano, the anime also emphasizes the importance of discovering yourself at your own pace. Yes, there are many traditional Boys Love tropes threaded throughout this series, including the slow-burning nature of Sasaki and Miyano’s relationship, who each fall into those classic Shojo stereotypes where one is more confident and outspoken, and the other is flustered and shy.
