Fujita shared some words of gratitude towards fans:
“ It feels like it’s been 10 years since I started drawing Wotakoi.
What were you otakus 10 years ago, and what fandoms are you immersed in now? With
much gratitude to all the otakus who have supported this story since then, I’ve
really enjoyed drawing Wotakoi characters again. I hope we can meet again at
Matsuya Ginza .”
The exhibition will be an opportunity for fans to
relive some of the series’ most iconic moments through original manga pages,
color illustrations, and audiovisual content. Additionally, as part of
the celebrations, Fujita has created a new Wotakoi manga that will also be
exclusively exhibited during the event. This will be a special treat
for fans who have followed the series over the past decade.
Exclusive exhibition merchandise will also be
available on-site, as well as a commemorative pamphlet that will compile
details and art related to Wotakoi. Ticket sales
information and other details will be announced soon on the event's official
website and official Twitter account (@/wotakoi_ten).
Following its Tokyo run, the exhibition will also
travel to Osaka in April 2025, allowing even more fans to enjoy this special
experience. This anniversary marks a decade since Fujita began
publishing the endearing otaku love story, which has won hearts around the
world with its mix of humor, romance, and geek culture references. The
exhibition promises to be an unforgettable tribute to celebrate this milestone
alongside the fans who have made Wotakoi’s success possible.
