What this is
Charaum Cafe in Ikebukuro is running a takeaway collaboration café tied to the manga series Printernia Nippon, where themed drinks and food items inspired by the series' characters and world are available to order. Every ¥2,000 spent on eligible drinks or merchandise earns you one random clear card from a set of eight designs — a collectible incentive that drives repeat visits. Merchandise from the 2025 collaboration café is also being re-released here, making it a second chance for fans who missed it last year.
Who should go
Fans of Printernia Nippon manga who want themed food, drinks, and collectible clear cards. Casual anime café tourists may find it less engaging without familiarity with the series.
Good to know
Charaum Cafe is a well-established collaboration café space in Ikebukuro's Maru Building, regularly hosting anime and manga tie-ins. As a takeaway café, there are no seat reservations required, but queues can form during peak hours — weekday mornings are typically quieter. Payment is usually by cash or card at the counter; confirm card acceptance on-site as policies vary by collaboration. Collaboration cafés in Japan often sell out of limited merchandise early in the run, so visiting in the first week or two gives you the best selection. The clear card bonus applies per ¥2,000 on eligible items, so check which menu items qualify before ordering.
