With love and gratitude to everyone who supports us every day! I heard that you will also be able to enjoy our audio at the exhibition...! I hope you will dive into the Yamada-kun world with your whole body!"
Uchiyama said, "As one of the cast members of the anime, I am very happy that the ways to enjoy ' My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999' are expanding, starting with the manga, then the anime, the live-action film, and now this exhibition. Personally, I am very curious to see what the 'Afro Yamada' statue will be like. I hope you enjoy this exhibition, which is packed with the charm of the work!"
