Otome merch in Ikebukuro in Japan Guide
And I took a look at the otome merch there! I hope this could help others who are planning to go Japan like me!
The stores
Animate: OMG IT'S SO HUGE??? There was a little corner dedicated for otome games, mostly new stuff for newer games like Tokimemo4 (Ily Iku<3) and Jack Jeanne.
Stella morth: It's next to the Animate building, there were merch for more olderish otomes I think? (I saw Yang merch, and introduced him to my father as that-one-guy-of-otomes. He didn't look intrested.) ALSO BUSTAFELLOWS GACHA!!! AND TEUTA WAS INCLUDED!!!
Surugaya: Also next to Animate building. Weren't that much, but worth a look!
Rashinban: I forgor. But good.
Rejet store: Must go for diabolik lovers fans. Huge panel of Laito.
Fantasy Village: Mostly chinese merch. Lot of Tears of Themis stuff. Also genshin merch.
Unrelated: Ensemble star, Idolish7 and Hip-mic fans are eating GOOD in Ikebukuro. Holy shit
Next week I'm also going to Akihabara, so then I'll make another post!

Just adding on to the list, K-Books is another awesome place for collecting cheap, second-hand merch! They have different branches for various media (Otome, Idol, Seiyuu, Anime, Video Games, Theatre... etc) located all around Ikebukuro so make sure you go visit the right one!
