What this is
Dedicated to the summer Ash Lynx and Eiji Okumura shared, this pop-up shop brings Akimi Yoshida's beloved manga BANANA FISH to life through more than 20 types of original merchandise featuring newly commissioned illustrations. Tote bags, T-shirts, clear files, and other items are themed around that bittersweet season central to the story. Spend ¥4,000 or more and you'll receive exclusive purchase bonuses including stickers and collectible mini can badges in 'N.Y' or '10CC' designs.
Who should go
BANANA FISH fans, particularly those who followed the 2018 anime adaptation or the original manga. Collectors chasing limited-edition character merchandise will find the tiered purchase bonuses a strong draw.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up floor is free, but merchandise sells out quickly at popular BANANA FISH events — arriving at or shortly after the 10:00 opening is the safest strategy, especially on weekends. SHIBUYA109 is a major fashion landmark in Shibuya and accepts credit cards at most counters, though having cash on hand is wise for pop-up stalls. The 8F DISP!!! space is a dedicated event floor used regularly for anime and character pop-ups, so expect a compact but well-organised layout. Advance reservation slots for certain dates will be announced on the official website — foreign visitors should check it regularly as slots can fill within hours of opening. Purchase bonuses are handed out at the point of sale and cannot be claimed retroactively.
