For fans of Ayamy looking for more information on her virtual appearance at AnimeFest this year, we have a dedicated space in the Visual Novels Area for all her merchandise that will be available for sale at AnimeFest. There will be an assortment of some of her most popular art prints available for purchase. On top of that, there will be limited quantities of her doujinshi such as her full color, Vtuber-themed books.

As a special exclusive for AnimeFest, we will also be making available a special acrylic keychain featuring Ayamy and Mint Fantôme! There is a very limited quantity of the AnimeFest exclusive acrylic keychain so make sure to stop by the booth as early as you can so you don’t miss out!
