The Black Lagoon manga is in its 25th anniversary year, with two limited-edition chronograph watches, a second collaboration with the HUB pub chain, and an upgraded anniversary exhibition at Monthly Sunday GX all announced in May 2026.
Black Lagoon is in the middle of its 25th anniversary year, and three separate promotional pushes were announced within a week of each other in May 2026. The franchise is being treated as a premium merchandising property: two limited-edition chronograph wristwatches, one themed after the Lagoon Company and one after Hotel Moscow, were announced on May 26. Each model is limited to 2,001 units, pre-orders open June 19, and the watches ship in late October 2026 at 29,700 yen each.
Six days earlier, on May 20, the British-style pub chain HUB announced a second collaboration with the manga. Running from August 7 to August 30, the event features newly drawn illustrations by creator Rei Hiroe, limited goods, and themed drinks and food. Visuals of Levi and other characters in bar outfits were released ahead of full details.
The May 19 announcement of the June issue of Monthly Sunday GX bundled Black Lagoon's anniversary exhibition alongside milestones for The Apothecary Diaries and Jormungand. The Black Lagoon exhibition is described as an upgraded version of the 25th anniversary exhibition, though no further details about the exhibition itself were provided in the story. The three announcements together show the franchise is still being actively promoted through merchandise, food-and-drink tie-ins, and exhibition events two and a half decades after its debut.
