Tanemura made his debut with Niribon (Shueisha) in 1996 and has released many hit works such as ``Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne'', ``Looking for the Full Moon'', ``Gentlemen's Alliance☨'', and ``Sakura Hime Kaden''. At ``Arina Tanemura 30th Anniversary Exhibition: Dream Stories of Sparkling Girls,'' you can enjoy plenty of original color and monochrome manuscripts of her past works. Upon entering the venue, visitors are first greeted by a welcome movie showing famous scenes from past works. There's also a message from Tanemura in the video, so don't miss it.
More than 300 pages of black-and-white raw manuscripts will be exhibited from ``Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne'', ``Looking for the Full Moon'', ``Gentlemen's Alliance☨'', ``Sakura Hime Kaden'', ``Friday to My Cat'', ``31★I Dream'', ``Time-Space Stranger KYOKO'', and ``I-O-N''. While following the story of ``Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne'' from episode 1 to the final episode, you can enjoy about 100 pages worth of famous scenes. Names are also displayed at ``Friday with my cat'' and ``31☆I Dream''. There are more than 50 color manuscripts on display, and not only can you see their delicate brushwork up close, but also pay attention to the color illustrations of ``Space-Time Stranger KYOKO'' that Tanemura drew during his high school days.
In the costume area, the costumes of Jeanne, Haine, Sakura, Takuto, and Meroko are realistically reproduced. There is also an area where nostalgic appendices are displayed along with a chronology, and a corner for one-shots and short-term serials where the name of ``Absolute Awakening Angel Mistress☆Fortune'' is revealed. In the photo spot area, life-sized panels of heroines and heroes drawn especially for this original art exhibition will be displayed. In the final product sales area, a rich lineup of original goods will be on sale, including acrylic stands and posters with newly drawn illustrations, reproductions of past works, clear files, rosary charms, and Takuto and Meroko stuffed mascots.
