Chibi Maruko-chan New Goods Available at Avail Nationwide from April 18th!

18 Apr 2026 – 28 Apr 2026

Chibi Maruko-chan fans, take note! Starting April 18th, 2026, the beloved national anime based on Sakura Momoko's manga is teaming up with Avail, the casual fashion brand from the Shimamura Group, for a new collab goods release at Avail stores nationwide across Japan. The lineup includes some seriously cute items: a mini towel featuring a close-up of Maruko-chan's face, a shopping bag and drawstring pouch sporting an all-over pattern of popular characters, and even a pair of steeko (relaxed lounge pants) joining the mix. New goods will roll out gradually from the launch date, so there's plenty of reason to keep an eye on the shelves. Can't make it to a physical store? The Avail online store kicks off sales on the same day starting at noon, so you won't miss out. One heads-up: the Kofu Higashi store is listed as an exception and won't be carrying the collab items, so it's worth checking which locations are participating before heading out. Whether you're a longtime fan of Maruko-chan or just love fun character fashion, this is a collab worth grabbing while it lasts. Anime Yokocho offers a Buy For Me service to purchase and ship exclusive merch from this event directly to fans overseas.
