Exploring a Hidden Gem: Anime Shop Review

Shop Size: ★☆☆☆☆
Despite its compact size, this store is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. You might think you can see everything in just 5 minutes, but every inch is packed with delightful finds. It's small, yes, but the quality and selection of the collection are impressive. Remember, great things often come in small packages!

Number of Items: ★★★☆☆
The shop predominantly features items from fan-favorite series such as Dragon Ball, Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, My Hero Academia, SPY x FAMILY, and Demon Slayer. Beyond the surface, you'll discover some hidden gems, including rare and unique items from past Ichiban Kuji raffles and limited edition merchandise. For aficionados of these six titles, the hunt for rare finds is particularly rewarding here.

Crowdedness: ★★★★☆
Despite the narrow aisles, my visit was a pleasant surprise with the store not being overcrowded. This provided a relaxed environment to thoroughly enjoy browsing through the merchandise. It’s a rare luxury to take your time exploring without the pressure of a crowd.

Rare Items: ★★★★☆
The store is a sanctuary for collectors seeking rare figures from Ichiban Kuji Lotteries and UFO Catcher prizes. While these items might fetch high prices on platforms like eBay, here they are offered at much more reasonable rates. The collection includes a variety of figures, not limited to just the mainstream characters, making it a haven for dedicated collectors.

Uniqueness: ★★★★☆
Though the selection may seem limited at first glance, the store is well worth the visit. It boasts a curated assortment of products that are difficult to find elsewhere, especially for international fans. The diversity extends beyond figures, including acrylic stands and badges, enriching the uniqueness of the collection.

Language
Some merch are translated in English but not a lot.
