EVENT REPORT: VALENTINE AND WHITE DAY 2025

VALENTINE AND WHITE DAY 2025

At the EDITION88 space, located inside TOKYO ATOM on the 2nd floor of UDX Building in front of Akihabara Station, an exhibition featuring works by Akemi Takada, Shunya Yamashita, and Noizi Ito is being held until March 16!

Akemi Takada's Corner

Akemi Takada-sensei continues to be highly active, creating new Creamy Mami illustrations every year with a Valentine’s theme.

Her 2025 artwork exudes the warmth of a gentle spring breeze, as if waiting for the arrival of the season. The heart-shaped background design and Mami’s bright, gentle smile create a refreshing sweetness that perfectly captures the Valentine's spirit.

This artwork is available for viewing in both its original illustration and 88Graph at the venue. Visitors can not only admire the beauty of the original but also compare it with the 88Graph to appreciate its remarkable quality!

As a special touch, Takada-sensei herself visited the venue and drew Mami-chan on the heart design on the wall!
A huge thank you to Takada-sensei! 💜💜💜

Shunya Yamashita's Corner

Shunya Yamashita-sensei has been collaborating with our gallery for exhibitions since last year, introduced by the figure manufacturer Kotobukiya.

The BISHOUJO series is, of course, immensely popular, and the 88Graph of Kotomi Kotobuki, the original character created for the BISHOUJO 15th anniversary, is on display!

Additionally, Plastic Angels, Yamashita-sensei’s original series, captivates with its pop and sexy cuteness. Two of his works have already been released as 88Graph prints, and to celebrate Valentine’s Day, another new 88Graph has been added!

For framing, in addition to the regular frame, a special chocolate-patterned frame is available! This fun and playful mat design is a perfect match for Yamashita-sensei’s illustrations.

Noizi Ito's Corner

This section focuses on Shakugan no Shana, featuring some of the most iconic illustrations, along with carefully selected Valentine’s-themed works.

This year, 88Graph of the illustration drawn for the cover of Animage (May 2007 issue) has been newly released!

The pendant in the illustration has been enhanced with shimmering glitter, giving it a beautiful sparkle. Unfortunately, this effect is hard to capture in photos... so we highly recommend seeing it in person at the venue!

88Graph and Merchandise Now Available!

In addition to 88Graph art prints, various goods are also available for purchase!

One of the most popular items is the "88Graph Acrylic" featuring Creamy Mami, which beautifully shines on the display wall.

For Plastic Angels, an eagerly awaited acrylic keychain has arrived! It comes with a ball chain, making it perfect to attach to a bag, stick directly on a wall, or display as an acrylic stand using the included base.

And, of course, Shana acrylic stands are available too!

Exhibition Runs Until March 16!

If you're visiting Tokyo, we would love for you to stop by the venue and experience the exhibition in person!
