What this is
Fans of the manga and media franchise *My Boyfriend's Love Is Too Heavy* get exclusive merchandise featuring original illustrations by artist Amamori — specifically Mizuki and Uzuki dressed in jersey maid outfits, a design created just for this pop-up run. The Tokyo leg runs at MEDICOS SHOP inside MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 through September 10, while Osaka follows in October at CAFE EPIC TALE in Nipponbashi, where takeaway drinks will also be on offer. Tokyo visitors can enter a raffle for life-size character standees or autographed mini photo cards by spending ¥5,000 or more, and every ¥2,000 spent earns a random mini photo card from seven designs.
Who should go
Dedicated fans of the franchise who want limited merchandise and collectible photo cards. Casual anime shoppers browsing Shibuya or Nipponbashi may also find it worth a look, but the purchase-bonus structure is designed for committed collectors.
Good to know
Entry to the shop itself is free, but the bonus system rewards spending — budget accordingly if you want photo cards or raffle entries. Tickets for the Tokyo opening-day shuffle are distributed on-site; arriving before 10:00 AM is strongly advised as entry order is randomised. MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 is a well-known commercial complex in central Shibuya with multiple floors of pop-culture retail; the MEDICOS SHOP is on the 5th floor. The Osaka venue, CAFE EPIC TALE, is a smaller café-style space with limited capacity, so expect queues during peak hours — the 12:00–7:30 PM window gives you flexibility to visit mid-afternoon to avoid opening rushes. Cash is safest at smaller pop-up venues in Japan, though many Shibuya retail spaces now accept IC cards and major credit cards.
