CharaON! is bringing 25 hit titles and 250+ items to the Kyoto International Manga & Anime Fair 2025 (Sep 20–21). This quick guide shows you the fastest way to navigate the booth—what to buy first among newly drawn and pre-release goods, when to slot the original art display for Gorira no Kami kara Kago sareta Reijō wa Ōritsu Kishidan de Kawaigarareru（ゴリラの神から加護された令嬢は王立騎士団で可愛がられる）, and how to avoid sell-out heartbreak.
Fast-Track Guide to CharaON at Kyoto Manga & Anime Fair 2025
Two public days, hundreds of SKUs, and a lot of fans eyeing the same goods. Your goal is simple: get in, grab your priorities, and keep energy for the rest of Kyomaf. Arrive early, check on-site signage for the exact booth location, and skim the item board the moment you reach the queue.
Prioritize New Art and Pre-Release Goods before Peak Hours
Newly drawn and pre-release items tend to vanish first—especially for Bocchi the Rock!, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Santa Claus（青春ブタ野郎はサンタクロースの夢を見ない）, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Date A Live, and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. If those are on your list, buy them on your first pass. Merchandise for emerging titles like Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi（忍者と殺し屋のふたりぐらし） and Ruri no Hōseki（瑠璃の宝石） can also spike unexpectedly—watch staff notes and “few left” tags.
Original Art: Gorira no Kami kara Kago sareta Reijō
The booth features original art for Gorira no Kami kara Kago sareta Reijō wa Ōritsu Kishidan de Kawaigarareru（ゴリラの神から加護された令嬢は王立騎士団で可愛がられる）. Slot this between two merch queues: you’ll rest your feet, enjoy the showcase, and re-enter purchasing with a clear head. Check on-site signs for any photography rules.
Two-Lap Shopping Plan: Priority Picks First, Sweep Later
Lap 1 = mission critical: newly drawn / pre-release goods for your top IPs. Lap 2 = a calm sweep for add-ons (keychains, acrylics, standees) and gifts. Keep receipts flat, use a folder for art prints, and secure small parts before moving on.
Queue Smarts: Sell-Out Risks and Time-of-Day Tactics
Peak windows cluster mid-morning to early afternoon. If you arrive later, consider hitting non-obvious lines first, then looping back. Ask staff about any per-person limits and restock timings. If something sells out, note the product code for potential after-event sales.
Payment, Packing, and Care: Be Ready for Bulky Merch
Bring a tote with a rigid bottom, an A4/A3 clear file for flats, and a poster tube if you expect tall prints. Prepare both cash and a major cashless option in case of terminal congestion. For defect swaps, follow staff directions and keep the item unopened until instructed.
Sold Out? Track Restocks and After-Event Online Sales
Plans can change on short notice. If an item is gone, check the brand’s site or social channels after the show for restock or online sales updates. Bookmark product names and keep photos of shelf tags to search faster later.
Where to Start and How to Secure Your Must-Buys
Go straight for newly drawn and pre-release goods on your first lap, park the original art display between queues, and keep a backup list for a second sweep. If something sells out, save the product info and watch official channels for updates after the fair.
