Asagi Sakura is bringing fresh color to the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing 30th anniversary. Her brand-new art book dedicated to the series is launching at Animate on December 26, complete with an exclusive clear file bonus and a nationwide fair that hands out B5 visual boards of all five pilots. If you have been wondering what exactly is inside this book, how the fair works, and which items you need to buy to score the rewards, this guide walks you through everything in simple, fan-friendly English.
Asagi Sakura’s Gundam Wing Art Book Joins the 30th Anniversary
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, Animate is releasing a brand-new art book illustrated by Asagi Sakura, the artist behind the novel Frozen Teardrop and the ongoing manga New Mobile Report Gundam Wing 0.5 PREVENTER-7 in Gundam Ace.
The book, titled “Asagi Sakura Art Book ‘New Mobile Report Gundam W’”, goes on sale December 26, 2025, exclusively through Animate stores and Animate’s online shop in Japan. It is priced at 3,850 yen (tax included), making it a substantial but still accessible collector’s item for fans who grew up with Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei.
This release is part of a much bigger wave of projects marking Wing’s 30th birthday, which has already brought anniversary visuals, special books, and new media projects into the spotlight.
New Illustrations That Make This Gundam Wing Art Book Shine
According to the official announcement, the art book is packed with new illustrations by Asagi Sakura, focusing on the world of Frozen Teardrop—the sequel novel that continues the story of Gundam Wing beyond the TV anime—and her current work on New Mobile Report Gundam Wing 0.5 PREVENTER-7, which bridges Endless Waltz and Frozen Teardrop.
If you have only seen earlier collections like Sakura Asagi Artworks – New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop, this new volume goes further by gathering the latest visuals drawn for the 30th anniversary era. Expect polished character art of Heero and the other pilots in their more mature designs, along with story-centric pieces that highlight the expanded timeline of the After Colony and Mars eras.
In other words, it is not just a nostalgia book; it is a snapshot of how Gundam Wing has evolved in Asagi’s hands over the last decade and beyond.
Animate Exclusive Clear File Bonus and Pricing Details
One major reason to pick up the book from Animate specifically is the store-exclusive bonus. Every copy of the art book purchased through Animate comes with an A4 clear file that uses the book’s cover illustration as its design.
The basics are simple:
Art book price: 3,850 yen (tax included)
Bonus: A4 clear file featuring the art book’s cover illustration
Availability: Nationwide Animate stores and Animate Online Shop
Because the clear file uses the main key visual, it doubles as a mini poster you can actually use—whether that is protecting documents at work or school, or just displaying it in a binder like the proud Wing fan you are.
Gundam Wing 30th Anniversary Fair Dates Locations and Rewards
Alongside the art book launch, Animate is running a “New Mobile Report Gundam Wing 30th Anniversary Fair” from December 26, 2025 to January 25, 2026 at stores across Japan and on Animate’s online shop.
During the fair, fans who purchase eligible items will receive one B5-size visual board at random from a set of five. Each board features a full-body illustration of one of the main pilots: Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Raberba Winner, or Chang Wufei.
You cannot choose which character you get, so there is a bit of gacha-style suspense involved.
Eligible items include:
・Asagi Sakura Art Book “New Mobile Report Gundam W”
・Gundam Ace February 2026 issue
・Various Gundam-related comics and novels published by KADOKAWA, including Gundam Ace itself
For each eligible book you purchase during the campaign period—whether in-store or via Animate Online—you will receive one random B5 visual board. The campaign details may change, be postponed, or be canceled due to various circumstances, so it is always best to check the latest information on the official fair page before ordering.
Tips for Overseas Fans Using Animate Online Services
If you live outside Japan, this kind of fair can look tempting but a bit confusing. While specific conditions can change over time, a few general tips can help:
First, check Animate Online’s information about overseas shipping and your region. Some areas can order directly, while others may require a proxy or forwarding service. Next, carefully read the fair description to confirm that bonuses apply to online orders and to see if there are any spending or payment conditions.
You should also review your own country’s import rules, taxes, and handling fees, since those vary widely and can affect the final cost. Because policies differ by region and may be updated, the safest option is always to verify details directly on Animate’s site or with any forwarding service you plan to use.
Gundam Wing’s 30th Anniversary Projects Keep Expanding
This art book and fair are just one piece of Gundam Wing’s 30th anniversary celebration. A dedicated 30th anniversary special website collects news, new publications, and merchandise for Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz, making it easy to see everything that is happening at a glance.
New releases such as the “Mobile Suit Gundam W & Endless Waltz 30th Anniversary Official Book Operation 30th” dig into storyboards, staff interviews, and archival materials, while a 4K remaster box of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz with new audio commentary is scheduled for release on March 25, 2026.
For fans who first met Gundam through Wing’s broadcast in the 1990s or later in North America, this anniversary wave feels like a long-awaited reunion with familiar characters and mobile suits—now supported by high-end books and remastered video.
Grab the Art Book and Visual Boards Before Time Runs Out
If you love Asagi Sakura’s take on the Gundam Wing cast, this new art book is one of the must-have items of the 30th anniversary. If you are more into character-focused collectibles, the B5 visual boards from the Animate fair give each of the five pilots a stylish spotlight.
Together, the book, the clear file, and the visual boards form a neat little set that captures Gundam Wing’s ongoing evolution in 2025 and beyond. Check the product page on Animate Online for the latest stock and bonus information, and keep an eye on the 30th anniversary special site to see what other projects are still on the way.
Whether you are shopping from Japan or abroad, do not miss your chance to add a new chapter of Wing history to your shelf.
