Photo: QUO Card [TO Books](https://giftcard.news/company/to-books/) will introduce annual shareholder rewards using specially illustrated QUO gift cards, with the first eligibility date set for April 30, 2027\. The publisher approved the program on September 14\. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The cards will feature newly commissioned artwork from the illustrator of _Ascendance of a Bookworm_. The design will be exclusive to the shareholder benefit and shared across all three award tiers. TO Books said it will reveal the artwork separately once it is finalized. Holders of 100 to 199 shares will receive ¥3,000 in QUO cards. Those with 200 to 499 shares will receive ¥10,000, while holders of at least 500 shares will receive ¥25,000\. The annual qualifying date will be the end of April, with mailing planned within three months.
