As this series is focused around Weezer's music, there was collaboration between Akishige and Weezer to promote the manga as well as Weezer's then-forthcoming ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|Red Album]]''. Posters were created featuring illustrations of the two main characters listening to the album, as well as of a girl toting a Weezer-branded purse and bandages. Both illustrations were used for the ''[[Troublemaker Remixes]]'' EP, as well as for the Mexican release of the ''[[Six Hits]]'' EP. | |||
