Fullmetal Alchemist × Daemons of the Shadow Realm Exhibition

A touring exhibition of the manga artist Arakawa Hiromu (荒川弘), held for two anniversaries in 2026: 25 years of Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, 鋼の錬金術師) and five of Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Yomi no Tsugai, 黄泉のツガイ), her current series in Monthly Shonen Gangan. It opened at Matsuya Ginza in Tokyo, moved on to Daimaru Sapporo, and then tours Kanazawa, Osaka, Fukuoka and Nagoya.

The exhibition

More than 300 original drawings and rough sketches from the two series make up the core of the show, together with reference material Arakawa uses for her drawing. Three-dimensional displays play lines newly recorded by the voice cast, and there are photo spots and a special collaboration theater. Daemons of the Shadow Realm is covered up to volume 10.

Each stop can differ from the others in what is on display, in its ticket types and prices, and in the goods on sale. Phones and tablets may take still photos, except in a few areas; cameras and video are not allowed.

Gifts and merchandise

Every ticket holder receives a card, one of four designs, at random. In the shop, each 3,000 yen spent brings another card, one of ten designs. Advance bundle tickets add a set of five postcards of the main visual, which is not sold on its own, or the pamphlet, or both; the Official Exhibition Book is also sold in the shop.

New goods go on sale from the Osaka stop: a track jacket, sent on after the visit, a keychain made to look like an omamori, a shrine charm, and stickers of the illustrations hung in the exhibition. In Osaka the exhibition is also part of Oshi-tabi (推し旅), a travel campaign by JR Central.
