First up is a gorgeous varsity hoodie featuring the cast of NEKOPARA. The hoodie is available in US Unisex sizes from S to 3XL, with a frontal zipper and designs on both the front and the back. The front features colorful cat prints while the back has the cast of NEKOPARA including newcomer Fraise and Kashou’s little sister, Shigure!

These two are also the stars of the latest NEKOPARA game, NEKOPARA After which is slated for a May 22, 2025 release on Steam! If you haven’t already done so, head on over to the Steam page and check out the high quality opening for the game featuring vocals by Ceui.

Feeling an urge to make an itabag and let the world know your love for one of the NEKOPARA catgirls? Look no further than the 10th anniversary acrylic keychains featuring the same chibi character designs as featured on the varsity hoodie. Whether you buy one keychain or maybe the entire set, these adorable keychains are worth checking out.

These items will be available during Anime Central at both the Sekai Project booth as well as the ohmonah booth located at Booth 418. Please note that availability of sizes for the varsity hoodies may vary between each booth so be sure to check with both us and ohmonah to find the size you need.

Ayamy Merchandise Lineup

For attendees that were at Anime Central last year who might have missed out on getting some merchandise from VTuber illustrator Ayamy need not worry as we’ve restocked and have an extensive lineup of doujinshi, prints and goods for this year.

 

New for this year is Ayamy’s recently released doujinshi featuring everyone’s favorite maid ghost VTuber, Mint Fantôme! This doujinshi was just released earlier this month at the doujinshi event, Comic1 so this will be the first opportunity for many fans to get their hands on this booth which also features Japanese and English text! We will also have tapestries and acrylic stands of Mint (2 designs available) so there’s plenty for fans to choose from.

Speaking of acrylic stands, we will also have a limited number of acrylic stands featuring the VTuber twins, Fuwawa and Mococo. Bau bau!

 

This time around we will be having 33 (!) different print designs from Ayamy including a number of new designs that weren’t previously available last year at Anime Central. Plenty of gorgeous illustrations to choose from so don’t forget to get to the exhibit hall early to check out what’s available!
