Anime/manga-themed café’s baked goods run the range from cute to crazy, just like Chiikawa itself.

Hopefully new policies will keep Chiikawa figures out of scalpers’ hands so they can find their ways to fans instead.
New menu items and more make for the perfect place to grab a kawaii bite after shopping in a major Tokyo department store.
Fans of Chiikawa and friends will delight in an opportunity to become immersed in the characters’ world.
Characters from Akira, Cardcaptor Sakura, Ghost in the Shell, and more explain the basics of Japanese manners at Shinkansen stations.
We had to wait a third of the year for this New Year’s fukubukuro, and now it’s time to find out if our patience was rewarded.
