What this is
Two Charadri!! café locations — one in Akihabara, one in Osaka's Nipponbashi — are running a themed pop-up collaboration with the mobile game Bungo to Alchemist, serving takeout food and drinks inspired by the series alongside limited merchandise. The event runs across two distinct periods (July 17–30 and July 31–August 9), with different offerings likely tied to each half. On opening weekend and public holidays, an electronic numbered-ticket queuing system controls entry, while most weekday visits are walk-in friendly.
Who should go
Fans of Bungo to Alchemist who want themed food, drinks, and exclusive merch in a dedicated café setting. Casual anime café visitors curious about the format will also find it accessible, especially on quieter weekday afternoons.
Good to know
Charadri!! is a character café chain with dedicated locations in Akihabara and Osaka's Nipponbashi otaku district, so both stores are well-practised at running collaboration events. Payment is typically cash or card at the counter, but it's wise to carry cash as a backup at smaller character cafés. The electronic numbered-ticket system on July 17–19 and all weekends/public holidays means you should arrive at opening time to secure a low queue number — late arrivals on busy days may face long waits or be turned away. In-store purchase bonuses (often bromides or bonus cards) are only available when you buy directly at the venue, not through any online shop. Last order is at 7:30 PM, so don't arrive in the final ten minutes expecting a full experience.
