The TV anime “Urusei Yatsura” exhibition will be held at the Matsuya Ginza 8th floor Event Square from October 2nd to October 14th, 2024. Information on the collaboration cafe and special benefits for merchandise purchases has been revealed.
“Urusei Yatsura” is based on a manga serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” by Takahashi Rumiko. It is a slapstick love comedy set in the fictional town of Tomobiki, space, and other dimensions, centering on high school student Moroboshi Ataru and his devoted alien lover Lum.
The original TV anime series aired for about four and a half years from October 1981 to March 1986. Six theatrical anime films were released, and an original TV anime was also produced.
In 2022, it was announced that the series will be adapted into a TV anime for the first time in about 36 years to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Shogakukan’s founding. The first season will air from October 2022 to March 2023, and the second season from January 2024 to June 2024, and the series is loved by people of all generations.
The story concept of the “Urusei Yatsura” exhibition is “Girl Hunt with Ataru!!” The exhibition will introduce the unique characters and convey the charm of this work, which combines nostalgia and newness from the Showa and Reiwa eras.
To commemorate the opening of the exhibition, the MG Cafe in Matsuya Ginza’s Restaurant City on the 8th floor will be selling a collaboration menu. The drink menu includes the “Urusei Yatsura Random Latte” (990 yen) with 10 different designs, the “Mendo Family Strawberry Soda” (1,210 yen), and the “Shinobu and Inaba Blue Hawaii Soda” (1,210 yen).
