Made in Abyss Exhibition — Tokyo
To mark the first film in the Made in Abyss theatrical series, Awakening Mystery, Akihito Tsukushi’s manga gets its first reproduction original-art exhibition, at the Book Building of Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store in Tokyo from 24 October to 29 November. The reproductions run right out past the trim lines of the manuscripts, with photo spots recreating relics and famous scenes and the author’s working materials; some of the story shown has not yet been animated. There are two display periods, with a changeover closure on 12 November. Tickets are JPY 2,500, with timed entry on weekends and holidays.
This is Made in Abyss’s first reproduction original-art exhibition, timed to the first theatrical film, Awakening Mystery.
The reproductions show the manuscripts right out past the trim lines, including the margins cut away in the printed volumes.
Relics and famous scenes from the story are recreated as photo spots.
The author’s working materials are on show too, and the route lets you look back over the story so far.
Some of the story on show has not been animated yet, so manga readers see where the anime has still to go.
The key visual reads “Longing can’t be stopped”, the very reason Riko keeps descending into the Abyss.
Some of the story shown has not been animated yet, so anime-only viewers will meet spoilers.
The two floors follow a set route with no way back, and there are no toilets inside.
Weekend and holiday visitors enter by time slot and meet 10 minutes early.
The galleries have no fixed seats, so no seating plan is needed.
