Atelier LILIUM Closes Auri Hirao's Exhibition

The highly anticipated exhibition, "Girls, by Auri Hirao," held at Atelier LILIUM, concluded on June 17, 2026. This event, organized by LILIUM Inc., showcased an impressive collection of over 20 original illustrations by the popular manga artist Auri Hirao. Running from June 5 to June 17, the exhibition allowed fans to closely engage with Hirao's stunning artwork in a dedicated space that celebrated yuri culture.

Atelier LILIUM is renowned for its extensive collection of yuri literature and has become a focal point for enthusiasts. The exhibition not only featured Hirao's artworks but also offered special merchandise exclusively available at the event. To cater to those who couldn't attend in person, LILIUM announced that starting from June 19, 2026, all five featured merchandise items will be available for online purchase through the Atelier LILIUM official store.

Special Merchandise Launch

For fans wishing to own a piece of this unique event, the online store will stock a range of items inspired by the illustrations showcased, including:

• - Exhibition pamphlet
• - Canvas art
• - Replica illustration
• - Mug
• - Acrylic keychain

The catch, however, is that these products will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and availability is limited. To make the promotion even sweeter, a special campaign will run until July 3, 2026, where purchases will receive an exclusive coaster designed specifically for the event. Additionally, qualifying buyers will be entered into a draw to win signed replicated illustrations and exhibition posters.

Event Highlights

A highlight during the exhibition was the live drawing event and signing session held on June 6, 2026. This event featured interactive segments where fans were invited to suggest characters for Hirao to illustrate live. The original drawings created during this session were displayed during the exhibition, creating a dynamic connection between the artist and her fans.

Moreover, the exhibition's special menu item, originally titled "Chai that Auri Hirao Might Like," was officially renamed to "Auri Hirao's Favorite Chai" after the artist personally approved it. This special chai drink quickly became a favorite among visitors, showcasing the unique blend of food, art, and community that Atelier LILIUM aims to promote.

A Celebration of Fans and Culture

The response to "Girls, by Auri Hirao" was overwhelming, with not only local fans but also international visitors expressing their admiration and love for Hirao's work. The exhibition reached far beyond artistic appreciation; it became a gathering place for fans to share their stories and messages, further highlighted by a flower stand organized by Fun to Cast (previously El-Tama) celebrating the event.

With its successful closing, Atelier LILIUM has set a high standard for future exhibitions. Those who missed the chance to attend in person can look forward to the online merchandise, allowing them to take a piece of Auri Hirao's world home. Stay tuned for future events from Atelier LILIUM, which is set to continue its mission of being a hub for yuri culture in Japan.
