Animation studio MAPPA will hold a 15th anniversary exhibition titled "MAPPA EXPO 15th Anniversary" at YURAKUCHO MUSEUM in Tokyo from September 16 to December 7, 2026. The event is split into two periods: the first runs September 16 to October 25, and the second from October 28 to December 7, with some exhibits changing between them. Displays will focus on the worlds of "Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc," "Attack on Titan The Final Season," and "Jujutsu Kaisen." Original goods featuring newly drawn illustrations and original artwork will be sold, including visual acrylic panel sets tied to each of the three titles. Admission bonuses include art postcards in cut-bag-style envelopes, with five designs per title. The fastest advance lottery for first-period tickets opened June 19 at 10:00 PM via Lawson Ticket, with date- and time-specified entry to manage congestion. After the Tokyo run, the exhibition is planned to tour multiple regional cities. MAPPA was founded in 2011 and produces TV anime, films, commercials, and web videos, managing its own IP and licensing.
The exhibition runs for approximately 80 days, with a two-day closure between periods on October 26 and 27. Entry is date- and time-specified in 30-minute slots from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with last entry at 5:00 PM. The system is designed to alleviate congestion and ensure safety, with entry order determined by serial number on the ticket.
Ticket prices are tiered by age. General advance tickets cost ¥2,000, same-day ¥2,200. University and high school students pay ¥1,600 in advance, ¥1,800 at the door. Junior high and elementary students are ¥1,200 advance, ¥1,400 same-day. Preschool children enter free. Goods set tickets, each ¥4,000 (advance or same-day), include a visual acrylic panel for one of the three featured titles. The sets are available in three types: Set A for Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, Set B for Attack on Titan The Final Season, and Set C for Jujutsu Kaisen. Each person may purchase only one goods set ticket per entry, and the goods are not sold separately at the venue.
The advance lottery for first-period tickets runs from June 19 at 10:00 PM through June 30 at 11:59 PM, via Lawson Ticket, with a limit of four tickets per person per time slot. The content includes some violent expressions, and the organizers advise caution for children; elementary school students and younger must be accompanied by a high school student or older.
The official website and X account for the exhibition have launched. Further details on goods are to be announced later, and the organizers note that some goods may have changes in sale timing due to material procurement circumstances.
