A Sneak Peek at Jump Festa 2026 Exclusives
Jump Festa, Japan’s premier annual festival celebrating all things Shonen Jump, is a pilgrimage site for manga and anime fans. It’s where new announcements are made, and exclusive merchandise, often featuring beloved characters in adorable ‘chibi’ styles – a Japanese term for small, super-deformed characters – becomes available. This year, the excitement for DEATH NOTE fans begins even earlier, with a special pre-sale running from December 17, 2025, at 12:00 JST, until December 21, 2025, at 17:00 JST.
All pre-sale orders will be processed through THE Chara online store and are expected to ship sequentially from early to late March 2026. This means fans can look forward to receiving their treasures well in advance of the festival’s main crowds.
