You thought manga cafes had a lot of comics? Think again.
The Shonen Jump 50th Anniversary Exhibition, hosted in Roppongi, Tokyo, will have virtually every volume of the magazine available for reading from March 15 to 26. That’s 50 years of shoneney goodness.
Meanwhile, a visual for part 3 of the exhibition, which covers manga released in the 2000s up to now, has been revealed. The two most prominent characters on the poster are, to no one’s surprise, Luffy from One Piece and Naruto from, well, Naruto.
Part 2 of the exhibition, which covers the 1990s, will run from March 19 to June 17, and part 3 from July 17 to September 30.
The exhibitions and manga library are all found at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo. The exhibitions cost ¥2,000 for general admission, while the manga library is free.
Anyone out there brave enough to try to read every volume?
Here’s how the official site describes part 2 of the exhibition:
