by Fans of Lycoris Recoil will soon have another opportunity to celebrate the popular original anime in person. A special TV anime Lycoris Recoil POP UP STORE is scheduled to open at SHIBUYA109 Shibuya and SHIBUYA109 Abeno, featuring exclusive merchandise based on newly drawn illustrations with a stylish “modern Japanese” theme.
The event will run from August 28 to September 6, 2026, with merchandise also available online during the same period. This gives fans who cannot travel to the physical venues another way to purchase the limited-edition items.
The event is especially appealing to collectors because the new artwork gives familiar Lycoris Recoil characters a different visual style while retaining the charm of the series.
What Is Lycoris Recoil?
Lycoris Recoil is an original TV anime created by the Lycoris Recoil production team, with Shingo Adachi making his directorial debut after working as a character designer and chief animation director on popular titles including Sword Art Online and the WORKING!! series.
The story follows two very different young women, Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue, who work as agents of DA (Direct Attack), a secret organization responsible for preventing crimes and terrorist incidents before they happen.
Chisato is cheerful, energetic, and optimistic, while Takina is calm, serious,s and highly efficient.
Their contrasting personalities are one of the major attractions of the series.
Although the anime features action, firearms and dangerous missions, it also spends considerable time focusing on everyday conversations, friendship and the girls’ life at the café Lyco-Reco.
This balance between action and slice-of-life comedy helped Lycoris Recoil develop a large fanbase.
A New “Modern Japanese” Theme for Chisato, Takina and the Cast
The biggest attraction of the upcoming pop-up store is the newly drawn “modern Japanese” themed artwork.
Instead of simply reusing familiar anime screenshots or standard promotional illustrations, the event merchandise will feature artwork created specifically for the campaign.
The Japanese-modern concept also gives the characters a more stylish and traditional-inspired appearance, making the illustrations particularly suitable for collectible goods.
For fans who enjoy displaying acrylic stands, badges, and other character merchandise, the new designs offer an opportunity to collect Lycoris Recoil artwork that differs from previous collaborations.
Limited-Edition Merchandise Lineup
The pop-up store will feature a large variety of merchandise, ranging from small collectibles to larger display items.
The announced lineup includes:

A Special Bonus for Shoppers
There is also a purchase bonus for fans attending the event or ordering online.
For every ¥2,200 (tax included) spent in a single transaction during the pop-up store period, customers will receive one random original illustration card.
There are 11 different card designs in total.
Because the cards are distributed randomly, fans who want to collect multiple designs may need to make several eligible purchases or trade with other collectors.
As with many limited-time anime merchandise campaigns, bonus items are subject to availability, so fans planning to visit primarily for the bonus should check the latest event information before traveling.
Fans Outside Tokyo Can Also Shop in Osaka
The event is not limited to Tokyo.
A second physical venue will be available at:
SHIBUYA109 Abeno Store, 2nd Floor, Abeno Q’s Mall, Osaka.
Both the Tokyo and Osaka venues are scheduled to operate from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The Tokyo venue will be located at DISP!!! on the 8th floor of SHIBUYA109 Shibuya, which currently lists DISP!!! as one of the event/pop-up spaces at the building.
This two-city format makes the collaboration more accessible to fans who cannot easily travel to Tokyo.
Online Sales Will Run at the Same Time
One of the most convenient parts of this Lycoris Recoil pop-up store is that fans do not necessarily need to visit the physical venues.
Online ordering is scheduled to begin on:
August 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
Online sales will remain open until:
September 6, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
The current shipping schedule indicates that online orders are expected to be delivered around December 2026.
This is particularly useful for international fans or collectors who cannot visit SHIBUYA109 during the limited event period.
Another Busy Year for Lycoris Recoil Merchandise
The new SHIBUYA109 event comes during another active year for Lycoris Recoil merchandise and collaborations.
For example, SHIBUYA109 previously hosted the “Lycoris Recoil PRODUCED by LAFARY” collaboration in July 2026, featuring Chisato and Takina in cute Lolita-inspired outfits. The collaboration ran from July 3 to July 12 at the Shibuya location.
The franchise has also received other collaborations this year, including a PUMA collaboration featuring Chisato- and Takina-inspired sneakers and merchandise.
This continued stream of collaborations demonstrates how strongly the characters continue to perform as merchandise and fashion icons beyond the original anime.
Why the New Pop-Up Store Could Be Popular With Collectors
There are several reasons why this event could attract Lycoris Recoil fans.
First, the newly drawn artwork gives collectors something different from previously released merchandise.
Second, the merchandise lineup covers a broad range of price points. Fans who only want a small collectible can choose badges, keychains,s or pens, while serious collectors can go for larger acrylic stands, tapestries, or apparel.
Third, the ¥2,200 purchase bonus adds another incentive for fans to shop during the event.
Finally, online sales mean that people who cannot travel to Tokyo or Osaka still have an opportunity to purchase the goods.
A Good Opportunity for New and Longtime Fans
For longtime Lycoris Recoil fans, the pop-up store offers a chance to expand an existing collection with a completely new visual theme.
For newer fans, it could also be a simple way to discover some of the franchise’s most recognizable characters through merchandise.
The modern-Japanese aesthetic should appeal particularly to collectors who enjoy anime goods with a more traditional or fashion-oriented design rather than standard character art.
And, of course, Chisato and Takina remain the biggest draws.
Their contrasting personalities—Chisato’s cheerful optimism and Takina’s serious efficiency—are at the heart of what made Lycoris Recoil so memorable.
Final Thoughts
The upcoming Lycoris Recoil POP UP STORE is shaping up to be another exciting merchandise event for fans of the series.
With a new “modern Japanese” visual theme, a large merchandise lineup, two physical locations and simultaneous online sales, the event gives collectors several ways to participate.
The event will be held from August 28 through September 6, 2026, at SHIBUYA109 Shibuya and SHIBUYA109 Abeno, while online orders will also be available during the event period.
Fans should also keep in mind that certain merchandise and purchase bonuses may be limited by stock. The official Lycoris Recoil event information notes that merchandise availability and purchase limits can change depending on circumstances.
For anyone who loves Chisato Nishikigi, Takina In,,oue and the world of Lycoris Recoil, this is an event worth keeping on the calendar.
