The TBS TV anime Ao no Hako is set to air its final episode on March 27, 2025, prompting a special commemorative event across the streets of Shibuya.
This event features a vibrant showcase, including a giant monument representing the main characters at the SHIBUYA109 Shibuya store. Event-goers can grab school newspaper-style flyers that you can’t find anywhere else.
At another event space, MAGNET by SHIBUYA109, fans will find a big board featuring newly drawn illustrations alongside a photo spot modeled after a clubroom locker. Additionally, nine street boards near Shibuya Station display iconic scenes and famous quotes from each character, engaging the community with a visual celebration of the anime.
Shibuya has been thoroughly transformed, highlighted by the special movie now screening on the KEIO MIRARERU VISION Shibuya Mega Wall, bathing the area in the colors of Ao no Hako.
Moreover, a fun campaign is in place. Participants can snap photos at the featured spots or with posters and post them using the hashtag #ShibuyaAohako on X (formerly Twitter). To encourage participation, showing these posts at the SHIBUYA109 Shibuya store can earn fans original items that vary each day, a unique way to engage with the show’s devoted audience.
Ao no Hako is adapted from a beloved manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump by Kou Miura. Since its debut in April 2021, the story has captivated a broad readership with its representation of hard-working characters pursuing their passions while navigating the complexities of young love.
The animated series launched in October 2024 and has followed the manga's success closely, contributing to its growing popularity.
As the series prepares to conclude, the streets of Shibuya are buzzing with excitement, embodying the spirit of Ao no Hako and creating unforgettable experiences for fans.
