CHOCOLATE Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; President: Yusuke Watanabe) has released additional details for "Galneko POP-UP (Poppiappi): Anaboko Shoppi," a pop-up event for Galneko, the cat character who dreams of becoming a gal, traveling to four cities across Japan. The pop-up is themed around donuts — "anaboko," or "holes" — the treat that Tsuna, the cat who longs to be a gal, has recently become obsessed with. It features a wide lineup of items with exclusive artwork, including mugs, plates, and sweatshirts, alongside donut-hole-motif mirrors, charms, scrunchies, and other everyday accessories. Novelty gifts are also being offered based on purchase amount. At the Tokyo venue, Tokyo Station, the event coincides with an original Galneko decoration takeover of Tokyo Station Ichibangai's interior, along with in-store announcements voiced by Tsuna and a gal friend.
