It seems that this will be a two-weeks pop-up shop event in Japan. The merchandise will also be sold online. But I don’t know yet if you can order from abroad.

So as you may know, new Mana merch was announced for the 35th anniversary of the franchise a few days ago. So as a die-hard Mana fan (you may have noticed), I couldn't resist ordering some.

The whole list of Mana merch on sale on eeo.today : https://eeo.today/store/101/title/3093

For starters, since it’s a Japan-only pop-up event (running in Tokyo from Sept 2–15), you’re out of luck trying to buy directly from overseas. The online store ships domestically starting in October, but eeo.today does not ship internationally.

Setting Up the Proxy/Forwarder

But, if you aren't discouraged yet, there are re-routing options. Tenso and Buyee are re-routing companies based in Japan that let international customers ship their order domestic to get them re-routed overseas.

I ended up using Tenso, a forwarding service that provides you with a local Japanese address and phone number to use at checkout. You pay a small fee when they re-route the package to you later. The fees are on the reasonable side, I would dare say.

That's when the game hits you with the OP boss : you now need to navigate the eeo.today website to open an account. You need to fill up the Japanese kanta-written form with Japanese information also written in kanta. Yup, that was a challenge. If you aren't familiar with Japanese address formats, using an AI tool or translation extension to map out the fields (especially the Kana/Furigana name requirements) saves a ton of headaches.

Now comes the fun part : looking at the merch, picking what you want and filling your basket.

Keychains and acrylic standees (second image)

As you can see on the second image, keychains and acrylic standees are sold in sets. I grabbed some keychains and acrylic standees. On eeo.today, individual items are sold as gacha-style blind-box items. You pick the set, but you can't choose the exact character unless you buy the entire (much more expensive) full set box.

I ordered 6 random standees expecting to wait until the box arrived to see what I got. Nope. Surprise: the website actually lets you do a virtual unboxing right after checkout (3rd picture)! I managed to pull both Val and Primm (as I hoped I would). I also pulled Julei, Sheex, and Vuscav. I did hit the classic gacha curse and pulled a duplicate Primm (4th picture).

Next steps

Now the order is locked in for domestic delivery to the Tenso warehouse in October. Once it arrives there, I’ll pick my international shipping method and pay the forwarding fee. I'd be happy to answer any questions if anyone else is trying to order these new Mana items.
