Both the original and the sequel have been adapted into anime series, with a new season of Ace of Diamond Act II set to premiere in October 2026. Nakama will release the first omnibus volume on March 23, 2027, as a 584-page paperback with an MSRP of $24.99, and it will also publish a digital edition of the omnibi.
