Calling fans of manga, anime and video games! Akihabara may be known as Tokyo's top destination for pop culture, but if you're a female fan or girl-gamer, head to Ikebukuro!
Ikebukuro's "Otome Road" - otherwise known as Maiden Street - is a treasure trove of fandom goods all aimed towards girls. You can find plushies, doujinshi fan art books, accessories, stationery and SO much more; I found merch from My Hero Academia, Fruits Basket, Persona 5, The Tales Of Series, Fate... it felt endless!
We also headed to The Pokemon Mega Centre Tokyo - the largest Pokemon Centre in Japan! Let's just say, stay tuned for a video later on in the #hijessicaanneinjapan series where I'll be sharing a haul including everything I bought in this vlog (it's a LOT)!
If you've read this far, let me know what your favourite anime/manga/video game is in the comments - recommend me a good series!
