What this is
The Sakura Trick 15th Anniversary POP-UP STORE celebrates one and a half decades since the start of serialization of Sakura Trick, the beloved yuri manga by Tachi that later received an anime adaptation. Running from June 24 to July 12, 2026, the pop-up is held simultaneously across multiple Gamers retail locations nationwide, including stores in Akihabara, Sendai, Nagoya, Namba, and Hakata, as well as the Gamers Online Shop. The event features newly drawn illustrations and exclusive merchandise created specifically for the anniversary. For fans of the series, this is a rare opportunity to purchase limited-edition goods that are unlikely to be available anywhere else.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of Sakura Trick, yuri manga and anime enthusiasts, and collectors of limited-edition Japanese pop culture merchandise. The atmosphere at Gamers pop-up stores is typically lively and fan-focused, attracting dedicated collectors and casual admirers alike. Those visiting Nagoya with an interest in anime culture will find the Gamers Nagoya Store a convenient stop. Arrive early in the event period for the best merchandise selection, as popular items tend to sell out quickly.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up store area is free — you only pay for merchandise you purchase. Gamers stores generally accept major credit cards including foreign-issued cards, but having some cash on hand is advisable as a backup. The Gamers Nagoya Store is a well-known anime retail chain outlet in central Nagoya, typically located in or near the city's main shopping districts. If specific items sell out at the physical Nagoya location, the Gamers Online Shop is running concurrent sales throughout the event period and ships internationally in some cases — check their site for details. Popular anniversary merchandise at events like this can sell out within the first weekend, so visiting on or close to the June 24 opening date is strongly recommended.
