Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of '47 Prefectures Battle' Online Event

The popular battle manga series '47 Prefectures Battle', created by manga artist and illustrator Hifumi, is commemorating its 10th anniversary with an exciting online event hosted on the Marui web channel. This collaborative effort by Marui Co., Ltd., based in Nakano, Tokyo, features various special activities and exclusive merchandise themed around the engaging story that anthropomorphizes Japan's 47 prefectures.

About '47 Prefectures Battle'

The unique premise of '47 Prefectures Battle' showcases each prefecture as a 'yurugami' (gentle god), each embodying the local charms and issues, as they engage in competitive battles to become the next capital. Through humor and creativity, the series explores the relationship between rural areas and urban locales, delivering a rich narrative that fans love.

To celebrate a decade of storytelling, this event features 48 newly illustrated characters based on the theme of 'conversation'. These charming illustrations, drawn in a soft sketch-like style, convey the growth of the characters and the relationships they've developed over the years. Fans can expect to find a deep sense of nostalgia as they view these unique expressions and gestures.

As part of this event, the special merchandise, including 10th anniversary goodies designed with these illustrations, will be available exclusively via online order. Additionally, special purchase benefits and new entry perks for Epos Card holders will be available, further enhancing the celebratory experience for fans.

Exclusive Collaboration Goods

Highlighting the celebration is a special set of teas in collaboration with George Stewart Tea, Sri Lanka's oldest tea brand founded in 1835. The beautifully designed tea cans depict exclusive illustrations celebrating the series' milestone, inviting fans to enjoy high-quality tea while reminiscing about their favorite prefectures and characters.
