To mark the 25th anniversary of the hit manga BLACK LAGOON, a special POP UP SHOP event titled “BLACK LAGOON 25th ANNIVERSARY ～地球で一番おっかない女の上位三人～ POP UP SHOP” — roughly translating to “The Top Three Scariest Women on Earth” — has been announced. The event will tour five venues across Japan, kicking off in Akihabara, Tokyo in September 2026.
About BLACK LAGOON
BLACK LAGOON is a manga by Hiroe Rei (広江礼威) that first appeared as a one-shot in the April 2001 issue of Sunday GX, before launching as a full serialization in 2002. Set in the crime-ridden city of Roanapur, the series follows a cast of outlaws in a stylish, hard-boiled world of gun action. The manga was adapted into an anime by Madhouse under the direction of Katabuchi Sunao, and the series has surpassed a cumulative 10 million copies in print. 2026 marks its 25th anniversary.
New Artwork by Creator Hiroe Rei
The centerpiece of the anniversary celebration is a set of brand-new illustrations drawn exclusively by Hiroe Rei himself, depicting iconic scenes featuring the three most dangerous women in the series: Levi, Roberta, and Balalaika.
Merchandise Lineup
A wide range of exclusive goods using the new artwork will be available at the event, including:
- All-over print T-shirts
- Dialogue acrylic stands
- Pinched acrylic figures
- Large tote bags and shoulder tote bags
- 65mm can badges
- Outdoor-use stickers and mini sticker sets
- F6 canvas art prints

An exhibition will also be held at each venue alongside the merchandise sales.
Purchase Bonuses
- Acrylic keychain (with every ¥5,000 / tax included purchase) — Features iconic manga scenes that inspired the new artwork. Available in 4 designs, distributed randomly. Approximately 30×50mm or 40×40mm.
