Talk Show & Signing Event Confirmed for Arina Tanemura's 30th Anniversary Exhibition! First Wave of Merchandise Revealed, Including "I Ate It" Stickers

In conjunction with the original artwork exhibition "Arina Tanemura 30th Anniversary Exhibition: A Dream Story of Sparkling Girls" commemorating manga artist Arina Tanemura's 30 years in the industry, it has been decided that special talk shows & signing events featuring Tanemura herself will be held in three cities: Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.

These events will be held at special venues near each exhibition location during their respective periods (Tokyo: May 18, Osaka: July 20, Kyoto: September 21). To participate, attendees must apply using an "application ticket with serial code" received for every 5,000 yen (tax included) worth of merchandise purchased at the retail area of each original artwork exhibition venue. A lottery will be held to invite 100 people at each venue (300 people total).

Additionally, the first wave of merchandise for advance sale at the exhibition venue commemorating the 30th anniversary has been revealed. The lineup includes "plush mascots" and "charms" of Takuto and Meroko.

Furthermore, attention should be paid to the merchandise purchase bonus: "'I Ate It' Stickers (30 types in total)." These are sticker versions of the familiar "I ate [month name]" illustrations that Tanemura posts at the beginning of each month on her official X (formerly Twitter), making this an irresistible bonus for fans.
