To commemorate its animated movie that is due for nationwide cinematic broadcast end of this month, “Natsume’s Book of Friends: Utsusemi ni Musubu” has teamed up with BOX Cafe&Space group to open up time-limited-operations cafes in Tokyo and Saitama; as well as special pop-up cafe-booth during the Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair (i.e. KYO-MAF) 2018 happening on 15 and 16 September 2018.
The theme of the collaboration cafes will be “Autumn’s Gastronomic Banquet!” – as shown in the key visual of Natsume and his friends (both human and ayakashi) having a fun outdoor banquet and drinking party. As mentioned above, the cafe will operate in two locations – Omotesando Box Cafe&Sapce in Tokyo; and Saitama Box Cafe&Space in Saitama.
