Gakken Co., Ltd., a group company of Gakken Holdings Co., Ltd., released an introductory video for 'Rainbow Island with Letters: Diamond Edition' on YouTube on May 12, 2026. The video captures the genuine reactions of parent-child monitors to showcase the unique appeal of the series.

With comments like 'I read it all at once!' and 'I'm curious about the other characters' stories!', the series has proven to be highly engaging. In the monitor project conducted in autumn 2025, children who read Volume 4, 'Secret Present,' immediately expressed a desire to read more. A key reason for this is the series structure, where all six main characters appear throughout all volumes. By switching perspectives in each book, the same daily events are seen in a new light. This makes it easy to start from any volume, with the connections between characters deepening as the reader progresses.

Set in 'Unicorn Academy,' a magical boarding school on 'Rainbow Island,' the story follows students as they bond with their unicorn partners and navigate friendship, misunderstandings, anxiety, and courage. It incorporates themes such as 'social distance with friends' and 'finding one's true self'—topics that resonate deeply with elementary school children. Parents have also praised the series, noting that it provides hints for navigating social interactions.

Furthermore, the series includes interactive elements such as personality check pages to compare readers with characters, actual 'letters' from the protagonists, and letter sets for replies. These features provide an immersive experience, making readers feel as if they have stepped into the story's world.

While each volume is a standalone story, 'Rainbow Island with Letters: Diamond Edition' naturally encourages a continuous reading habit. As the latest series in the 'With Letters' brand, which celebrates its 12th anniversary since starting in 2014, it continues to bring excitement to children everywhere.
