A design manhole featuring Takamatsu Tomori from BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!! will be installed near Ikebukuro Station from late June to mid-July. Bushiroad donated the manhole to Toshima Ward. Voice actress Hina Youmiya attended the donation ceremony on June 10 and said she hopes it becomes a new bridge for fans.
The manhole will be placed near the central exit of Ikebukuro Station West Exit. Producer Masahiro Onoda said the design expresses Tomori's figure of moving forward step by step while struggling, with the theme 'It's okay to be lost, but even if lost, move forward.'
Mayor Miyuki Takagiwa noted the ward's Suzuran Smile Project, which supports teenage and young adult girls feeling lonely or isolated, and said the anime's depiction of girls doing their best has a particular affinity with that project. She gave a thumbs-up and said the manhole will become a landmark.
