What this is
Yukata-clad versions of Ruruna and Wakana Aihara are the centrepiece of this limited-run pop-up celebrating the dark magical girl series 'Gushing over Magical Girls', held at Akihabara's iconic GAMERS Main Store. Running from August 22 to September 6, 2026, the ground-floor shop stocks newly illustrated merchandise including can badges, acrylic keychains, acrylic stands, mugs, and high-end tapestries and serial-numbered art pieces available to order. Spend ¥3,000 or more and you're entered into a raffle for an oversized acrylic figure, plus you'll receive a randomly selected bromide from three designs.
Who should go
Fans of the series who want exclusive yukata-themed merchandise or a shot at the oversized acrylic figure raffle. Collectors hunting serial-numbered limited editions should note the September 6 order deadline for the ¥16,500 memorial art pieces.
Good to know
GAMERS Main Store is a well-known multi-floor anime and manga retailer in the heart of Akihabara, with the pop-up occupying the first floor — easy to find as soon as you enter. Foreign credit cards are generally accepted at GAMERS, but having some cash on hand is wise for smaller purchases. The raffle for the oversized acrylic figures is entered automatically with each qualifying ¥3,000 purchase, and bromides are distributed randomly at the time of purchase. Made-to-order items (tapestries at ¥8,800 and serial-numbered art at ¥16,500) must be ordered by September 6 but won't ship until late October, so overseas visitors should arrange a forwarding service such as Tenso if needed. The GAMERS Online Shop mirrors the in-store offer for those who can't make it to Akihabara in person.
