Tokyo Game Show 2026 (TGS 2026) is currently underway at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. On the second day of the Business Days, a wide range of manga- and anime-related booths drew large crowds, with several standout moments across the show floor.
Koei Tecmo Games — Colossal Titan and Apothecary Diaries
The Koei Tecmo Games booth grabbed attention with a display of the Colossal Titan from Attack on Titan 3, the game based on the hit anime series. Nearby, character panels of Maomao and Jinshi from The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother — the franchise’s first console game — were also on display.
Netmarble — Sunraku Balloon and Solo Leveling
A large balloon shaped like the face of Sunraku from Shangri-La Frontier floated above the Netmarble booth. Inside, visitors could check out a 3D display from Shangri-La Frontier: Seven Strongest Species and participate in a character greeting event. The Solo Leveling: KARMA corner featured a statue of Sung Jinwoo alongside cosplayers welcoming guests.
Shueisha Games — A Corridor of Dread
The Shueisha Games booth was one of the most talked-about on the floor. In addition to a playable demo of Jujutsu Kaisen RUMBLE: SURVIVATON, the booth featured a special experience zone for the adventure game UN:Me, which drew long queues from the moment the doors opened on the first Business Day.
The zone, dubbed the “Anxiety Corridor” (不安回廊), immerses visitors in the unsettling world of UN:Me through a series of fear-inducing installations. A small elevator-like room at the entrance to the demo area added another layer of horror before players even picked up a controller.
Bandai Namco Entertainment — Anime Games Galore
The Bandai Namco Entertainment booth brought together a large collection of anime-based titles. A giant monitor dominated the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 corner, while the BLEACH Mirrors High area was decorated floor-to-ceiling with character visuals. The ONE PIECE: Umi no Gochiso Restaurant demo corner was styled to look like an actual restaurant.
Aniplex — Tanjiro Costume and Fan-Favorite Demos
At the Aniplex booth, a full character costume of Kamado Tanjiro from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba — Hinokami Chronicles 2 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition made an appearance. Demo stations for Fate/EXTRA Record and MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA were also packed with eager players throughout the day.
Level-5 — Eye-Catching 3D Displays
Level-5 put up some of the most visually striking displays on the show floor, with photo spots for Professor Layton and the New World of Steam — the latest entry in the anime-adapted Professor Layton series — and Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road of Heroes, whose in-game anime sequences are handled by MAPPA. Fans lined up enthusiastically for photos at both spots.
