Death Note pop-up store opens in Japan, focusing on characters other than Light or L.

A new Misa-Misa-themed Death Note pop-up store will open in Nagoya and Tokyo, featuring exclusive merchandise for fans.

Step aside, L-guys, it’s Misa-Misa’s time to darkly shine. Death Note is like that unholy rage monster that just won’t die; 20 years later, it’s still got fans hungry for more. So guess what? There's a new pop-up shop just for Misa Amane, aka Misa-Misa, kicking off in Tokyo and Nagoya. This place is pouring love into her craziness with some exclusive merch that fans are gonna lose their minds over. You want hoodies? Check. Tote bags? You bet. And there are acrylic art stands too, recreating Misa-filled panels from the manga. Even the socks get you covered—she’s designed so you can keep her hidden or flaunt her in the wild. The shop opens in Nagoya from February 7, then struts over to Tokyo from March 19. But hey, no notebooks here, so don't expect to jot down your evil plans!
