What this is
Fans of the TV anime 'I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class' get a dedicated pop-up shop at participating TSUTAYA locations across Japan, featuring newly drawn maid-themed illustrations of characters Umi Asanagi, Yuu Amami, and Niina Nitta. Merchandise includes acrylic keychains, can badges, acrylic stands, clear files, and tapestries. Spend ¥2,200 or more on eligible items and you'll receive one random photo-style card from a set of three designs.
Who should go
Fans of the anime series, particularly collectors of character merchandise. Casual visitors with no prior knowledge of the show will find little reason to attend.
Good to know
Participating store locations will be listed on the official website — confirm your nearest branch before visiting, as stock and availability vary by location. The ¥2,200 spend threshold for the bonus random photo-style card resets per transaction, so plan your purchases accordingly if you want multiple cards. Entry may be restricted via numbered tickets during peak times, particularly on opening weekend. TSUTAYA stores generally accept major credit cards, but smaller branches may be cash-preferred for pop-up merchandise counters. Items are likely to sell out quickly on launch day, especially acrylic stands and tapestries.
