Animate Akiba Girls Station, though, will be the first Animate location expressly and wholly dedicated to serving female fans’ shopping needs.
Retail chain Animate is dedicating an all-new store in Tokyo to girls’ anime and manga.
Animate, Japan’s largest chain of anime specialty stores, already has two branches in Tokyo’s Akihabara, one of which is a six-story tower of Japanese animation and comics.
Animate Akiba Girls Station opens Saturday, July 16.
