From Oct 6 to 12, Ikebukuro Station is playing host to a week-long takeover for Yano-kun no Futsuu no Hibi, centered on the big “Ikebukuro Orange Board II.” Day one even featured a playful peel-off gimmick—bandage packets you could remove to reveal character designs. If you’re passing through Ikebukuro, here’s the quickest way to spot it, beat the crowds, and snap your pics without blocking the flow.
Finding Ikebukuro Orange Board II: spot, access, tips
The display is on the large-format “Ikebukuro Orange Board II” inside Ikebukuro Station, positioned for maximum visibility to commuters. Follow concourse signage toward the main corridors; you’ll encounter the board along a high-traffic passage. Keep your setup compact and be ready to move after photos.
One-week window: Oct 6–12 and crowd-light timeframes
The ad runs for just one week: Oct 6 (Mon)–Oct 12 (Sun), 2025. Typical peak hours are 7:30–9:30 and 18:00–20:00; lighter windows are mid-morning and late evening. Aim for off-peak if you want a clean shot without heavy foot traffic.
Peel-off bandage gimmick on day one: what to expect
On the first day, a peel-off setup let visitors remove a surface packet to find three bandage strips printed with character art—an experiential touch that matches the series’ comedic injury motif. Supplies were limited and day-one only; the board remains for viewing all week.
Photo etiquette and safety in busy station corridors
Form a quick queue, keep bags to your side, avoid blocking exits or escalators, and step aside immediately after shooting. Use flash sparingly in tight spaces. If staff provide instructions, follow them for everyone’s safety.
Quick context: story premise, broadcast slots, latest volume
The manga by Yui Tamura runs on Comic DAYS—a pure daily-life romcom about a worry-prone class rep and a boy who shows up injured every day.
