A New Way to Play: The “BOX System” Explained
At the heart of KujiQ’s unique appeal is its “BOX system,” a refreshing departure from typical online lotteries. Unlike gacha-style draws where probabilities dictate your chances, KujiQ mirrors the traditional in-store lottery experience. When you participate, whether online or in person, you’re drawing from a finite box of prizes. Each time a prize is won, it’s removed from the box, clearly showing the remaining items. This transparency allows participants to track their odds, adding a strategic element to the fun. The person who draws the very last ticket from a box even receives a special “Last Prize.”
This system, much like picking a physical lottery ticket from a real box, ensures that players know exactly how many prizes remain, fostering a transparent and exciting experience. It provides a sense of certainty that is often missing in purely probability-based online draws, allowing fans to enjoy the process with greater peace of mind.
Bridging Worlds: In-Store and Online Seamlessly
KujiQ’s hybrid model is designed to expand access for fans, reaching beyond geographical limitations. By offering sales through various channels—including anime shops, mass retailers, bookstores, and dedicated online platforms—KujiQ aims to connect with a broader audience. This means that fans who might find it difficult to visit physical stores can still participate and enjoy the same lottery experience as those who prefer the tactile thrill of drawing a ticket in person.
First Collaboration: “Date A Live V” Kicks Off the Excitement
To mark its debut, KujiQ is launching with a highly anticipated collaboration: TV anime “Date A Live V” ~Present for You~. This initial lineup is set to feature exclusive, newly drawn visuals that capture the essence of the series, along with a range of special merchandise tailored for dedicated fans. Items like acrylic stands and posters adorned with these unique illustrations are planned, promising to deliver a truly special experience that only KujiQ can offer. Fans are already buzzing with excitement over the exclusive visuals and merchandise planned for the ‘Date A Live V’ collaboration, eager to get their hands on these special items.

Looking Ahead: Future Collaborations and Fan Engagement
KujiQ is poised for an exciting future, with plans for collaborations with various popular titles already in the pipeline. The “Date A Live V” lottery is scheduled to begin sales on February 13, 2026, across participating stores nationwide and online. As these are limited-quantity items, sales will conclude once stock runs out.
Fans can also look forward to engaging social media campaigns, including follow-and-repost initiatives, which will be announced in conjunction with future title releases.
