Collection

 MARINE CAPWith a bit of samurai flare, this hat’s brim is finished to look like the cutting edge of a sword with a silver leather tip. This is for more daring fashionistas and will certainly make an impact!   HATThis bucket hat incorporates the image of Chainsaw Man himself cutting his enemies in two. The orange color scheme on the brim is also worth noting.   CAPThe design of this cap was inspired by the adorable Pochita.

A story-based digital GPS rally inspired by Chainsaw Man will be held within Tokyo’s subway system from November 1 until November 28. Fans of the anime series won’t want to miss it!   Participants will be tasked with one vital mission: to find five senior devil hunters who are currently undercover at subway stations around the city.   Participants will download an app from the special website and follow the instructions within to find stamp locations at stations throughout Tokyo. When they reach the designated location, they’ll find a special poster, and they’ll just need to press a button in the app to earn a stamp. By collecting stamps in all six locations, fans will receive a unique key visual which can only be obtained through this event.   

Pop-Up Shop

During the event period, fans will also find a limited-time pop-up shop inside Ikebukuro Sunshine City.

From November 1 to November 20, admission to the shop will be by advance reservation only on a first-come, first-served basis to reduce crowding. Reservations can be made through the official website.   ©藤本タツキ／集英社・ＭＡＰＰＡ
