To mark the 25th anniversary of the manga imprint Comic Bunch (Shinchosha), an original exhibition will be held at GALLERY ZENON in Tokyo from June 13 to July 5, 2026. Under the motto "Festival of Joy" (Japanese: "Saikai"), specially created illustrations by 25 manga artists currently publishing with Comic Bunch will be on display.
A special highlight is the "MY FAVORITE SCENE" exhibition: here, the artists present their personal favorite pages from their works, accompanied by comments. Additionally, commemorative shikishi (illustrated boards) by artists including Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hōjō, and Ryūji Tsugihara will be shown. A collaboration café and the sale of anniversary merchandise round out the offerings.
As part of the exhibition, three autograph sessions will also take place:
- June 14: Jun’ya Inoue ("Kaijū Jieitai")
- June 20: Makihirochi ("Ohitorisama Hotel")
- June 21: Kōsuke Ōno ("Gokushufudō" – The Way of the Househusband)
For each autograph session, 50 lottery tickets are available. Participation is only possible with a special admission ticket (1,600 yen, including entry and one manga volume), distributed via a lottery on the TicketMe platform. The application deadline is May 11 at 11:59 PM.
Regular admission costs 600 yen for online reservations and 800 yen for day tickets. GALLERY ZENON is closed on Tuesdays, with opening hours from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM (last entry and last café order at 5:30 PM).
