The event Boys Love Tokyo 2026 will be held on June 27 and 28 at Sunshine City, Ikebukuro. Considered the largest gathering of its kind, it will bring together over 40 authors with autograph sessions, talks, and merchandise sales. Official products have been unveiled, featuring acrylic sets with metal badges and die-cut stickers, available in 40 varieties with original illustrations.
The engineering behind the souvenirs: acrylic and metal 🛠️
The production of these sets required coordination between designers and specialized printing presses. Each set includes a 10 cm acrylic plate with high-resolution UV printing, a 3 cm enameled metal badge, and laser-cut stickers. Scratch-resistant inks and industrial-grade adhesives were used to ensure durability. The 40 designs, created exclusively for the event, underwent color approval and registration from each author to maintain artistic fidelity.
40 varieties to empty your wallet without remorse 💸
Because if you're already spending on the train to Ikebukuro, it's well worth taking home a set from each author. 40 varieties sounds like a lucky number, but your wallet will feel it like an Egyptian curse. Organizers assure there will be a purchase limit per person, although we know BL fans are experts at queuing multiple times in different disguises. That said, at least the stickers don't take up shelf space.
