The event celebrates the 25th anniversary of Rei Hiroe's manga, which has cumulative series sales of over 10 million copies, according to Inside. The exhibition will display valuable manga manuscripts, reproduction original art of color illustrations, and gun props that adorned comic covers. Photo spots for visitors to immerse themselves in the world of BLACK LAGOON are also planned. Details will be announced on the official website and official X (formerly Twitter). The exhibition is separate from a pop-up shop organized by COSPA, which focuses on the three characters Revy, Roberta, and Balalaika, and runs from September 12 across five cities.
