What this is
Fans of the BL manga 'Candy Color Paradox' get a rare chance to celebrate its completion with a dedicated pop-up shop touring Tokyo and Osaka. Exclusive merchandise featuring newly commissioned illustrations is sold at both venues, alongside life-size character panels and reproduction manuscript displays. Tokyo's run is at MEDICOS SHOP Shibuya inside MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 (not the main SHIBUYA109 building), while Osaka's stop is at Abeno Raku Bus in Abeno Hoop.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of 'Candy Color Paradox' and BL manga collectors. Casual anime shoppers may find the merchandise range limited without prior familiarity with the series.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up is free; costs arise only from merchandise purchases. Both venues are inside established shopping centres and accept standard payment methods, though carrying some cash is advisable for smaller purchases at pop-up counters in Japan. The random bonus mini card (one per ¥1,000 spent, 6 designs total) cannot be chosen, so plan your budget accordingly if you are aiming to collect specific designs. The Tokyo venue closes on 16 September, leaving a gap before Osaka opens on 25 September — plan your visit city by city if attending both. Foreign visitors should note that any online pre-orders or reservations, if offered via the official site, may require a Japanese address or phone number.
