A special exhibition of THE PROMISED NEVERLAND will take place at Roppongi Hills Observation Deck’s Tokyo City View Sky Gallery from December 11, 2020 to January 11, 2021.
THE PROMISED NEVERLAND is a popular manga series written by Kaiu Shirai and illustrated by Posuka Demizu that was serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump. The 20th and final volume will be released in October this year. A 12-episode anime series aired last year, with a sequel currently in the works which is set for release in January 2021.
Though the exhibition is several months away, we have been given an early look at the key visual which was illustrated exclusively for the event. There is much for fans to look forward to at the exhibition, including an original 19-page manga display which will be also made just for the event.
To promote the original manga, a Twitter campaign will be held for people to be invited to the exhibition. The campaign will run from August 11, 2020 at 10:00 (JST) to September 14, 2020 at 23:59 (JST). To enter the campaign, fans must follow Tokyo City View’s official Twitter account and post what they think the manga will be about from one of the four options specified along with the hashtags #約ネバ展 and #約ネバ展描きおろしEP大予想. 5 pairs (a total of 10) lucky people who choose the correct answer will be drawn and be invited to the exhibition. More details can be found here.
If you’re in Tokyo in December or January, don’t miss out on this special exhibition.

At the back of the elegant entrance corridor, inspired by the Palace of Versailles, are four lifesized panels of Marie Antoinette, Oscar, Andre, and Fersen. On the windows, portraits of the characters will appear as if they were portraits in a palace. The incredible backdrop of the Tokyo skyline is sure to create a lasting memory. Riyoko Ikeda debuted as a manga artist at the age of 20 and had a massive interest in history, particularly the life of Marie Antoinette. Publishing The Rose of Versailles was a dream for the artist, though the subject matter was strange for the time.[Chapter 1] The Rose of Versailles
Approximately 180 original drawings from The Rose of Versailles, including color illustrations and rare original two and four-color drawings from the time of its original serialization, will be on display. In addition to the charming story, guests can enjoy the incredible art and heart-wrenching dialogue. Also on display will be original drawings from The Rose of Versailles: Episodes, which shares many secrets and truths not revealed in the original story. This is the first new book in 40 years. The exhibition will also share Ikeda’s thoughts on her work and behind-the-scenes details, giving fans a deeper understanding of the creator’s process. Along with additional artwork, the exhibition will feature a dress that Oscar only wore once in his life. Created by students of the haute couture department of Bunka Fashion College, the dress, made with lustrous silk fabric and thousands of beads, is sure to bring a tear to your eye.©Riyoko Ikeda Production
[Chapter 2] The Rose of Versailles Musicals by the Takurazuka Revue
The Takurazuka Revue is a Japanese all-female musical theater troupe known for its Broadway-style productions of Western-style musicals and adaptations of films, novels, and manga. The Rose of Versailles was first performed by the group in 1974 at the Takurazuka Grand Theater in Hyogo Prefecture, inspiring a major Versailles boom. Since then, it has inspired a number of new musicals, and in 2014, it became one of Takurazuka Revue’s most popular productions, attracting a total audience of 5 million people. The exhibition will feature a part of the set from Oscar’s room, in which Oscar and Andre pledged their love to each other. The costumes and props work and used by Oscar and Marie will also be on display.<Takurazuka Revue's Cosmos Troupe performs The Rose of Versailles - Oscar & Andre- in 2014> ©Riyoko Ikeda Production
[Chapter 3] The Rose of Versailles Anime Series
While the series continued to be popular even after its serialization ended, it was adapted into an anime series in 1979. The opening theme song, Roses Scatter Beautifully, became a big hit when the show was first broadcast. Along with rare cels, the exhibition will discuss the show’s directors Tadao Nagahama and Osamu Dezaki, while also highlighting some of the best parts of the anime series.[Chapter 4] The Future of The Rose of Versailles

Tokyo City View, an incredible venue on the 52nd floor of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, will hold the first large-scale exhibition of GeGeGe no Kitaro creator Shigeru Mizuki’s works from July 8 to September 4, 2022. The event marks the creator's 100th birthday, though Mizuki himself passed away in November 2015 at 93 years old. During “The Yokai of Shigeru Mizuki: Nightly Procession of Monsters ~This is How the Monsters were Born~,” guests will be able to step into Mizuki’s world while also enjoying a breathtaking view of Tokyo. The exhibition will unravel how many of the manga creator’s monsters came to be, and a number of yokai-related books from Mizuki’s personal collection will be on display including The Illustrated Night Parade of a Hundred Demons (Gazu Hyakki Yagyo) by Sekien Toriyama and A Discourse on Yokai (Yokai Dangi) by Kunio Yanagita. Over 100 of Mizuki’s yokai drawings will be on display. Items at a Glance
Exclusive merchandise will be able to purchase on-site at the special shop ‘Nekoya.’ These items are only available during the exhibition! From mugs and keychains to T-shirts and sweets, fans of Mizuki’s works will find something to love! Visitors will be able to use the AR camera in the Street Museum XR sightseeing app to take photos with five yokai hidden within the venue. Using a smartphone, scanning certain key visuals will summon monsters, so don’t miss this neat addition to the event! At the entrance, visitors will be greeted by bronze statues inspired by the yokai statues that line Sakaiminato City in Tottori Prefecture, Mizuki's birthplace, as well as windows decorated with lanterns bearing the names of different yokai. Using the AR camera, a giant Gashadokuro will appear (basically a huge and terrifying skeleton). In the final area of the exhibition, guests can snap a picture with the yokai they found along the way! ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ How to Access the AR ‘Youkai Camera’ After installing the Street Museum XR sightseeing app, select ‘The Yokai of Shigeru Mizuki: Nightly Procession of Monsters” on the map of Tokyo and activate the AR camera. *Guests must download the Street Museum app. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/machikadowomyujiamuni-sutoritomyujiamu/id1151091144 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.toppan.streetmuseum.android (C)水木プロダクション Information
