Goods From October 10","summary":"Shimamura will release goods for the shojo manga Tamon-kun, Which Way Now!? on October 10 at select stores, and from 3:00 PM the same day on its Shimamura Park online store. The lineup includes tote bags and glasses cases with an F/ACE design and a Tamon Faith multi-case. The manga has passed 3 million copies in cumulative circulation.","whyItMatters":"The tie-in lands as a mass-market fashion retailer release rather than a dedicated manga shop run, which is where the Tamon-kun, Which Way Now!? readership now sits.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe lineup is built around two designs: an F/ACE motif on tote bags and glasses cases, and a multi-case tied to Tamon Faith. The F/ACE items are described as calm and easy to use, which puts the goods closer to everyday carry than to a collector\u0026#39;s shelf. Shimamura will stock them at select stores and open online sales on Shimamura Park at 3:00 PM on the same day.

Merch lines usually lead with the title character, so this one is priced on the reader's attachment to the fictional group over Tamon himself.","newsletterBlurb":"Shimamura is releasing Tamon-kun, Which Way Now!? goods on October 10 at select stores and from 3:00 PM the same day on Shimamura Park.
