A new 56-page full-color illustrated pamphlet set in the world of Howl’s Moving Castle will be released exclusively at Ghibli Park on February 28, 2026. The project is being written by Shion Miura and will also include a contribution from Takuya Kimura, the original Japanese voice of Howl.

The announcement has attracted attention because Studio Ghibli rarely returns to its existing worlds with new companion stories. For many fans, the chance to revisit the magical universe of Howl and Sophie is an exciting and unexpected surprise.

Anime fans are looking forward to exploring a new adventure connected to one of Studio Ghibli’s most beloved films. The special release is expected to be a memorable part of the franchise’s continuing legacy.
