At the "Cafe FanBase" on the 5th floor of Landmark Plaza, a surprise collaboration cafe themed after the "JET" art book × Anime April Fools' project has been announced. Titled "THE HIGH SCHOOL WARFARE," the cafe will offer a special collaborative menu inspired by the world of characters dressed in uniforms, in addition to selling cafe-original merchandise. Furthermore, the 69th-floor observation area "Sky Garden" will not only sell collaborative tickets that include original merchandise and participation tickets to the TV anime cast and production team's talk events but also exhibit anime original drawings that are rarely seen by the public against a backdrop of wall murals designed with iconic scenes from the original work. Various "BLEACH" content, including dynamic decorations on the full window glass, sales of collaborative drinks, and original merchandise, will fill the event. Additionally, two temporary "BLEACH" POP UP STORES will open inside the Landmark Plaza for a limited time. Serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 2001 to 2016, "BLEACH" is a story that follows the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki, who acquires the powers of a Soul Reaper after meeting Rukia Kuchiki, and his companions. With over 130 million copies of the comics in circulation, it has been adapted into games, a live-action film starring Sota Fukushi in 2018, and a TV anime broadcast from 2004 to 2012. The latest arc, "The Thousand-Year Blood War," is planned to cover up to the end of the original work, with the TV anime returning for the first time in about 10 years since March 2012. The first cour aired from October to December 2022, the second cour from July to September 2023, and the third cour is scheduled to air this year.
