A themed cafe based on the work will open at the CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO CAFE (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) next to the venue. It will have a lineup of 26 drinks and food items inspired by the characters. For every item ordered from the collaboration menu, customers will receive one original novelty item such as a paper placemat, large postcard, or paper coaster.
The original art exhibition will display a variety of valuable materials that were created during the production process of handwritten and digital manuscripts, which can only be seen here, along with Horikoshi's commentary, tracing the 10-year history of "My Hero Academia." It will be held at CREATIVE MUSEUM TOKYO (Chuo-ku, Tokyo) from June 21 to August 31. It is also scheduled to travel to the Osaka venue in the fall of 2025.
