Studio Ghibli unveils new anime calendars and diary planners for 2027

Schedule your days the Ghibli way, with a dash of magic on every page of the year.

With the end of the year now fast approaching, 2027 diaries and calendars are beginning to pop up on the market, and some of the sweetest come from Studio Ghibli .

This time, there are four planners and two calendars to choose from, all featuring beloved characters and movie scenes that’ll make you smile all year long. ▼ The journey to 2027 begins with four planners , priced at 2,090 yen (US$13.15) each. ▼ My Neighbour Totoro All the planners (which are listed as both “schedule books” and “diaries”) come with faux leather covers that are smooth and pleasant to touch.

Both the front and back of the covers are adorned in shiny details that capture the mood of the film they honour, with an action-packed scene on the front, and a more contemplative, quiet scene on the rear.

The Totoro planner recalls the nighttime scene from the film, showing all three Totoros – Large, Medium and Small – flying through the sky on a giant spinning top, with Mei and Satsuki along for the ride.

On the back, we see Satsuki and Mei’s father at his desk, gazing upward as if he might be catching a glimpse of them. ▼ The journey continues inside, with an opening page that sets the scene with an establishing shot, which in this case shows the countryside home where Satsuki and Mei live with their father.

Turn the page and you’ll find a variety of handy planner-friendly sections, including year-at-a-glance pages… ▼ … monthly pages… ▼ …and weekly pages, all adorned with cute motifs from the film. ▼ There are beautiful sections for note-taking as well, with lined and graph pages… ▼ …an address and personal information section… ▼ … and a variety of memo cards, which can be cut out and shared with friends.

Each planner is B6-sized (19 × 13.5 × 10 centimetres [7.48 × 5.31 × 3.94 inches]) and contains 128 pages, making them easy to use at home, in the office or on the go. ▼ Spirited Away The Spirited Away scheduler takes us to the home of Zeniba , where protagonist Chihiro travels to with Boh Mouse , Yu-Bird in fly form and No Face , before hitching a ride back to the bathhouse on dragon Haku . ▼ Motifs from the film add a dash of Ghibli magic to every day of the year. ▼ Yubaba will be keeping her steely gaze on you in the notes section… ▼…while No Face will soothe your soul with a gentle knitting scene from Zeniba’s house. ▼ Channel Chihiro and Haku with your personal memo section… ▼ …and the memo cards are so cute you’ll want to keep them all to yourself. ▼ Kiki’s Delivery Service The cover features Kiki on her broomstick with Jiji, recalling the scene where they’re joined by wild geese while making her stuffed toy delivery, moments before they all get blown off course.
