Gintama is one of the best-selling manga series of all time in Japan, with over 55 copies in print. Beginning in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2003, the sci-fi comedy was filled with jokes pulled from current pop culture and news before it came to an end in 2019. Despite the story being over, Gintama is popular enough to deserve another collaboration cafe! From November 19 until December 23, the series will take over the Capcom Cafe at Q Plaza Ikebukuro! This will be the second collab with the Capcom Cafe, the first being held in February 2021 to celebrate the final Gintama film. Details on the menu and original merchandise will be released soon, so be sure to check back!
