Yotsuba&! Pop-Up Store & Mini Gallery Hits Tokyo in July 2023

 

Residents of Tokyo, Fukuoka and Osaka will soon have a chance to “enjoy everything”, because a pop-up store and mini-gallery inspired by Yotsuba&!, the popular everyday comedy manga by Kiyohiko Azuma about the life and adventures of an imaginative young girl, will soon tour these three cities.

 

The “Yotsuba&!” Pop Up Store and Mini-Gallery will feature new and limited edition character goods as well as an exhibition of the manuscripts used to create the Yotsuba&! manga. It will run from June 9 – July 2, 2023 at Calendarium 4 venue on the 6th floor of the Shinjuku Marui Annex in Tokyo, from July 28 – August 6, 2023 at the Hakata Marui venue in Fukuoka, and from December 22, 2023 – January 8, 2024 at the Namba Marui venue in Osaka.

The original Yotsuba&! manga is serialized in the Dengeki Daioh manga magazine published in Japan by ASCII Media Works, and an English language version is also available from Yen Press, who describe the story of the series as follows:

 

Hello! This is Koiwai Yotsuba, Yotsuba Koiwai…um, YOTSUBA! Yotsuba moved with Daddy to a new house from our old house waaaaaaay over there! And moving’s fun ‘cos people wave! (Ohhhh!!) And Yotsuba met these nice people next door and made friends to play with (one of ’em acted like one of those bad strangers Daddy told Yotsuba not to go with, but it was okay in the end). I hope we get to play a lot. And eat ice cream! And-and-and…oh yeah! You should come play with Yotsuba too!
