New Violet Evergarden A4 clear files from Lotte and Aeon

A week ago, Lotte and Aeon again collaborated to give out Violet Evergarden A5 notebooks. This is part of their promotion campaign and has been going on for a couple of years now, it seems. I saw on Twitter that someone even called the number on the store poster and was told that there will be more giveaways in the coming weeks.

Today is a public holiday in Japan, but as a translator working from home, there is no such thing as a non-working day. Still, I managed to find time to whiz off to the nearest Aeon supermarket on Vivi. I headed straight for the corner where I found the A5 notebooks previously. Only to find them still there. No clear files. Hmm...

So I did what any fan would do.

I asked the store staff.

"I heard that there will be clear files being given away this week."

She promptly said she would help me check, then went off, and after about 5 minutes, came back with the clear files. 

😍

I guess they were too busy since the supermarket just opened two hours ago, and they have yet to get down to changing the A5 notebooks to the A4 clear files.

And... the clear file spots a new design. On the front is Violet, and the back is Gilbert.



If you put them side by side, they look like they are lying on the grass looking at each other. 😍

Looking forward to something new next week!
