What this is
Dedicated pop-up retail experience for the manga/light novel series 'The Loyal Dog-like Subordinate and the Tsundere Lieutenant,' running for nearly two weeks at MEDICOS SHOP inside Shinjuku Marui Annex. The draw for fans is a set of newly commissioned illustrations by original artist Happy~Waniwani-sensei depicting the characters in 'harness suit' outfits — artwork created specifically for this event. Life-size character panels are on display, and spending thresholds unlock bonus collectibles: a random mini photo card per ¥1,000 spent, and an exclusive illustration card per ¥3,000 spent.
Who should go
Fans of the series who want exclusive merchandise and bonus collectibles unavailable elsewhere. Those who can't make it in person can access made-to-order online sales from July 31 through August 18.
Good to know
Entry is free and no advance ticket is required, but the venue may implement a numbered ticket or queuing system on peak days (weekends and the opening day, July 18) — check the official website or MEDICOS SHOP social media the morning of your visit. MEDICOS SHOP Shinjuku is a compact specialty retailer on the 6th floor of Shinjuku Marui Annex, so expect limited floor space and potentially short waits during busy periods. Payment by card is generally accepted at Marui-affiliated shops, but carrying cash is recommended for smaller merchandise purchases. If you miss the physical event, made-to-order online sales via MEDICOS ONLINE SHOP open at noon on July 31, 2026, though venue-exclusive bonuses are typically not available through online orders — confirm on the official site.
