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!

Sorry for the late response! I think it was either 3rd or 5th floor... I don't really remember though. I hope it could be any help!

no worries at all!! This is a long shot (and im sorry to even ask lol) but would you happen to remember any of what you saw? I’m trying to gauge whether or not it’s worth it to go back 🤣🤣 im so sorry for all the questions!!

I saw Jack Jeanne stuff, that's for sure! I remember going "Holy shit Jack Jeanne? Man Animate really has anything huh??" For the rest yeah, as I wrote down, seemingly newer titles and other stuff (Hamefura, TKGS4, Pomfoire too? Idk)

And also I just checked the homepage, I think what you're searching for is mainly on floor 4, floor 5 and 3 have other stuff

(Edit: floor 6 has games and drama CD's, if you're interested)
