The hit baseball manga from Shonen Jump+, “Thank You Pitch” (「サンキューピッチ」) by Sumiyoshi Kiu, is holding its first-ever pop-up shop event under the name “Thank You Pitch 3out POPUP” at GALLERY X BY PARCO, B1F, Shibuya PARCO, Tokyo, from June 5–22, 2026.
Interactive Activities at the Event
The theme of the event is “Immerse yourself alongside the members of Hamaso Baseball Club,” giving fans the chance to experience stepping into the Hamaso High School baseball club — the series’ main setting. There are two main activities:
- “Tap to Give Up! Forgive Me, Agawa-sensei” (「タップでギブアップ!許して阿川先生」) — An activity where participants can tap into a panel depicting Coach Agawa using his signature Octopus Hold technique and press a button to signal surrender. The dialogue from Coach Agawa will change depending on how many times the button is pressed. The voice actor for this activity will be announced later.
- “Kiriyama’s High Kick Challenge!” (「桐山の足上げチャレンジ!」) — An activity where participants can try to imitate the impressive high kick of Kiriyama Fuzetsu, the pitcher character from the series. A panel displaying his pitching form can be used as a backdrop for photos.
Exclusive Merchandise
In addition to the fun activities, the event will feature a wide variety of merchandise for sale, including:
- An acrylic stand packed with quotes from the story
- “Show Me More of You” Pouch (「もっと色んなとこ見せてくれポーチ」) — A fully stuffed pouch
- Coach Agawa’s Plump Seal (「阿川先生のボンボコドスドスシール(でっぷり)」) — A chubby, full-bodied sticker of the coach
- A sticker set “Dosdos Agawa Memorial” (「ドスドス阿川メモリアル」) featuring a “sleeping-beside-the-coach”-style illustration
