As the world of Touken Ranbu continues to captivate fans, an exciting new collaboration has emerged that beautifully merges the realms of gaming and horology. The announcement of the Yamabukigiri Kunihiro watch, crafted by the esteemed Japanese watchmaker Seiko, is sure to delight enthusiasts of both the game and fine timepieces. This article delves into the details of this remarkable watch and the upcoming events that coincide with its release.

Exciting News for Touken Ranbu Fans

The world of Touken Ranbu continues to expand with the announcement of a stunning new collaboration between the popular game and Seiko, a renowned Japanese watchmaker. This collaboration features a beautifully designed watch inspired by the character Yamabukigiri Kunihiro, a sword from the Azuchi-Momoyama period. As a fan of both the game and exquisite timepieces, I am thrilled to see how this partnership brings together the artistry of swordsmanship and watchmaking.

Upcoming Events Overlapping Dates

In addition to the watch announcement, there is significant news regarding upcoming events in the doujinshi community. The “Comic Market 106” and “GOOD COMIC CITY 31 Osaka” will take place on overlapping dates in August 2025. Comic Market 106, organized by the Comic Market Preparatory Committee, will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from August 16 to 17, while GOOD COMIC CITY 31 Osaka, hosted by Akaboo, will occur on August 17 at Intex Osaka. Due to the ongoing renovations at Tokyo Big Sight and the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo, the scheduling has proven to be quite challenging.

• Comic Market 106: August 16-17, 2025, Tokyo Big Sight
• GOOD COMIC CITY 31 Osaka: August 17, 2025, Intex Osaka

Both events are all-genre doujinshi fairs, allowing for a wide range of works to be showcased. However, the recent trend has seen Akaboo focusing more on female-oriented doujin works, leading to a gradual separation of male and female spaces within the events.
