Why You Should Visit
A joint exhibition marking 25 years of Fullmetal Alchemist and 5 years of Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Yomi no Tsugai), both by Hiromu Arakawa, arrives on the 9th floor of Hankyu Umeda after stops in Tokyo, Sapporo and Kanazawa. More than 300 pieces of original art and rough sketches from the two series are on show, along with 3D pieces such as the Central City phone box and the Sayu-sama statue from Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which is covered up to volume 10. Every visitor receives one collaboration manga card newly drawn by Arakawa. The run spans the New Year holidays, and every day uses timed-entry tickets.
