The organizers of Boys Love Tokyo 2026, a two-day BL event at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro on June 27-28, 2026, have announced the third wave of commemorative goods. The new lineup centers on "replica original art" prints: high-definition reproductions of newly drawn illustrations from participating artists, each including a replica of the creator's signature. A total of 38 prints will be available. The announcement also covers purchase bonuses and entry gifts. Shoppers who spend at least 5,000 yen on event goods will receive a random pack of three "pashakore" cards (40 types total). Every attendee will get a branded shopping bag featuring the event's official mascot character. The event is produced by Animate, Chuo Shoten, and Movic, and features over 40 artists contributing to exhibitions, autograph sessions, talk shows, and a cafe area. The full exhibition layout is expected to be revealed soon.
The third merchandise wave for Boys Love Tokyo 2026 adds a high-end collectible tier to an already crowded goods lineup. The replica original art prints reproduce newly drawn illustrations at high resolution and include a printed copy of the artist's signature, making them functionally similar to limited-edition art prints sold at gallery shows. The 38 prints cover a range of participating creators, though the announcement did not specify which artists are included in the print set.
The purchase bonus, called "pashakore," is a random card pack given with every 5,000 yen spent. The 40-card set is separate from the main goods and the entry gift shopping bag. The event's exhibition area, which will display original artwork and production materials, has not yet been fully detailed. Organizers said more information will be posted on the official website and social media.
