We were responsible for planning and producing “Yankee Library,” an event to commemorate the release of Volume 7 of the popular manga Taxes Paid for by the Taxpayer, which is currently serialized in Kodansha’s Young Magazine. Taxes Paid for by the Taxpayer is a library-themed workplace manga about a Yankee boy. For the event, we created a mobile library in the form of a wildly decorated Yankee-style truck: the “Yankee Library.” The launch event for the new volume was held at Shibuya Cast Garden. Visitors could climb up onto the truck bed, which served as the library, borrow all volumes of the comics and related books, and read them in the reading space. They could even read Volume 7 before its official release date. In addition, we prepared a special exhibition that allowed visitors to experience the story of Taxes Paid for by the Taxpayer. The event was enjoyed both by first-time visitors discovering the series for the first time and by fans who came specifically for the event, making it a celebration of the series’ world. Over the two-day event, a total of 1,360 people visited.

A promotional video created to coincide with the release of Volume 20 of Jujutsu Kaisen, synchronizing 13 digital signage displays in front of Shibuya Station. A simulator recreating the area in front of Shibuya Station was built in Unreal Engine, with careful attention paid to the placement and staging within a space seen from different perspectives and angles. The sound is arranged in surround, making this a promotional piece that turns the area in front of Shibuya Station into a theater-like experience, where the way the music is heard changes depending on where you stand.
