**UPDATE ON JANUARY 4, 2020**
The crowdfunding campaign has now reached 100% completion!
With this announcement, the Stamp Rally is now officially on, and will take place from February 29 through April 19 in Shiroishi City!
There are still three days left in the campaign at the time of this writing, and so a new stretch goal of ¥3,000,000 has been announced!
Keeping with the school festival theme, on March 28, 2020, a 2-hour live concert with sweet little devil and other bands will be held at the White Cube, Shiroishi City’s culture and sports center. There are also many doujin booths selling fanmade goods and other stage events being planned.
Of course, in order for any of that to happen, the second stretch goal will need to be reached by the crowdfunding campaign’s deadline of January 7, 2020, 11:59 PM (JST). So if you want to see it happen, then head on over to the project page and get donating!
