While the summer series has long finished and we dream of spending time with our swimming boys, the only way we can at the moment is through the Japanese home video release. The fourth installment of it is due out on December 17th, 2014 and Kyoto Animation has put out a new promotional video for it that focuses on the drama CD that’s included. The digest version we get here gives us a little more of a taste as to the separate and original story going on here that will make you want to own it all the more.
