What this is
A timed-entry collaboration café and pop-up shop built around the manga series Hana no Akuta -Re;bloom- by Tokiko Kirishiki, running across nearly three weeks at STELLAMAP Cafe in Tokyo. Visitors eat and drink themed menu items inspired by the characters, browse original merchandise featuring newly illustrated artwork, and can enter a lottery for a chance to attend an autograph session with the creator on September 19th. Entry is structured into six 75-minute sessions per day, and at least one food or drink order is required to get through the door.
Who should go
Fans of Hana no Akuta -Re;bloom- or Tokiko Kirishiki's work — this is a niche event with little to offer casual visitors. Those serious about the autograph lottery should act quickly, as applications go through LivePocket.
Good to know
Reservations are first-come, first-served and made in advance — walk-ins without a reservation are unlikely to be accommodated during busy periods. The autograph session lottery on September 19th is handled separately via LivePocket; purchasing an acrylic art panel grants entry into that lottery, but winning is not guaranteed. Merchandise-only visits are not permitted, so you must order from the café menu. Popular menu items and merchandise can sell out or be delayed, especially in the first week. STELLAMAP Cafe is a specialist collaboration café venue, so expect a compact, themed space — arrive on time for your session and be prepared for a queue before doors open.
