Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist x Yomi no Tsugai Exhibition Details
The legendary manga creator Hiromu Arakawa is bringing a massive treat for her fans. A special exhibition event titled "Fullmetal Alchemist x Yomi no Tsugai" is scheduled to be held at Matsuya Ginza in Tokyo. This grand celebration will run from August 13th to September 2nd, and it is definitely something every anime lover should look forward to. It is quite a big deal as it brings together two of her most iconic works under one roof.
Celebrating Milestone Anniversaries
This exhibition is not just any random event; it is being held to mark two very significant milestones. It celebrates the 25th anniversary of the birth of Fullmetal Alchemist and the 5th anniversary of Yomi no Tsugai. For many of us, Fullmetal Alchemist has been a childhood favourite, and seeing it complete 25 years feels really emotional. Arakawa has specially drawn a main visual for this event where we can see the famous Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, alongside the newer characters, older brother Yul and younger sister Asa from Yomi no Tsugai. Seeing them together in one frame truly highlights Hiromu Arakawa's legacy in the manga world.
Ticket Information and Exclusive Merchandise
If you are planning to attend, you need to be quick with the tickets. Through Asoview!, advance lottery tickets are being accepted until April 5th, 23:59. They are offering three types of tickets that come with special goods and pamphlets. The benefits are quite exciting for collectors:
- Postcard Set: A set of 5 main visual postcards that will not be sold anywhere else as merchandise.
- Exhibition Book: The "Fullmetal Alchemist x Yomi no Tsugai OFFICIAL EXHIBITION BOOK" which contains exclusive details.
- Full Bundle: You can also opt for a ticket that includes both the postcards and the official book.
Do note that while the postcards are exclusive to the ticket bundles, the OFFICIAL EXHIBITION BOOK will be available for purchase at the merchandise section inside the venue. But still, getting it with the ticket is a much better way to ensure you don't miss out if stocks run low.
National Tour Schedule
For those who cannot make it to Tokyo, there is some good news. After the Tokyo run at Matsuya Ginza, the exhibition will travel across Japan. This gives more fans a chance to experience Hiromu Arakawa's legacy first-hand. Here is the confirmed schedule so far:
- Hokkaido: Daimaru Sapporo store from October 14th to November 1st.
- Ishikawa: Korinbo Yamato store from November 27th to December 13th.
- Osaka: Hankyu Umeda main store from December 16th, 2026 to January 10th, 2027.
There are also plans for the tour to visit other places like Aichi, but those details are not out yet. They will be announced at a later date, so fans in those areas should keep a close watch on the official updates. It is really a great time to be a fan of Arakawa's storytelling!
