A completely new illustration by Ishida has been released as a gift for visitors to the exhibition "Tokyo Ghoul EX.", based on the TV anime series "Tokyo Ghoul," which is based on Ishida Sui's popular manga that is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It depicts Kaneki Ken wearing the uniform of the Anteiku coffee shop, and Kaneki Ken awakened after his fight with Yamori and now has white hair. The exhibition will be held in Tokyo and Osaka, and visitors to the Tokyo venue will receive a mini colored paper with an illustration of Kaneki Ken in the Anteiku uniform, while the Osaka venue will receive a mini colored paper with an illustration of Kaneki Ken with white hair.
This is an "immersive" exhibition where visitors can experience the world of the work through three-dimensional exhibits, interactive experiences, and immersive videos. The Tokyo venue will be held at Terada Warehouse G1 Building (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) from October 21st to December 1st, and the Osaka venue will be held at VS. in Gran Green Osaka (Kita-ku, Osaka) from December 14th to 29th.
The contents of the exhibition have also been announced, including interactive exhibits such as the "Kaneki vs. Yamori" theater, an exhibit that follows the story of "Tokyo Ghoul" through three-dimensional ghoul masks and lines, and a space that recreates the Anteiku coffee shop. Some of the exhibits and videos contain violent depictions, so children under the age of six must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Some areas have restrictions on who can experience the exhibit due to the nature of the production.
Original goods featuring original illustrations by Miwa Kazuhiro, character designer for "Tokyo Ghoul," and Nakajima Atsuko, character designer for "Tokyo Ghoul:re," will also be sold at the venue.
LINE stamps, the first for the anime series, will be released. The designs for the stamps will be decided by fan vote. Voting is open until September 22nd on the special website.
