If you’ve been keeping up with the manga and anime scene in recent years, there’s no way you’ve missed out on the huge phenomenon that is Jujutsu Kaisen: starting as a smash hit in Shounen Jump, before moving on to multiple seasons as one of Japan’s most watched anime, and finding popularity all over the world. So it only makes sense that while fans are waiting for the next season of the anime, author and artist Gege Akutami is offering a little treat in the form of this new Jujutsu Kaisen exhibition! As the first-ever large-scale Jujutsu Kaisen event of its kind, exhibition-goers will get to check out a huge selection of original illustrations from the making of the manga and the anime, along with cool digital displays detailing the creation process, including comments and behind-the-scenes notes from Gege Akutami himself. Don’t miss this chance to get into the mind of the author and artist himself, and see how Yuji Itadori and his world came to life!

③ CLAMP Exhibition

Even if you’ve never heard of the manga author/artist collective CLAMP, if you’ve been a big manga reader over the past few decades, there’s a good chance you’ve happened upon some of their work before! This four-woman group is the team behind popular works like Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHolic, Chobits, and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle (among many others), and over the years they’ve created a wide variety of stories to appeal to readers of all kinds. CLAMP is perhaps most famous for their vaguely linked multiverse of characters that show up in different forms in different stories, but the artist collective’s work can be found all over the place, even in the character designs for anime series like Code Geass. So whatever CLAMP series it was that made you a fan, you’ll probably enjoy this special exhibition! As a mid-career retrospective for the four women (Nanase Ohkawa, Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi), this exhibition is a deep dive into the diverse plethora of work in the CLAMP portfolio, and how things have grown and changed over the years. Dive deep into the world of Cardcaptor Sakura, see original illustrations from Chobits, and don’t miss the original manga panels from many of their popular series!
