Kidzu Natsuki’s wildly popular BL comic “Given” (9 volumes) will reach a grand conclusion in 2023, marking its 10th year of serialization! Additionally, a spinoff comic “Given 10th Mix,” depicting the characters 10 years later, was released on October 1, 2025. This work is Noitamina’s first anime adaptation of a BL comic, airing as a TV series in 2019 and a film in 2020. The long-awaited first part of the two-part sequel film series, “Given: Hiiragi Mix” and “Given: To the Sea,” was released in 2024, marking the conclusion of the animated series. The “Given Exhibition,” commemorating the conclusion of “Given” and the release of the film, has returned to the Tokyo venue in an even more powerful form! The “Given Exhibition -given
exhibition- ENCORE” is being held at Space Galleria (Animate Ikebukuro Main Store, 8th floor) from Friday, October 17, 2025 to Monday, November 17, 2025! What new areas will be featured in this triumphant return to Tokyo? In this article, we’ll bring you an update on the exhibition, focusing on the new areas. The “Given Exhibition” is back!

In addition, reproductions of original drawings and scenes from the anime (including the film) are exhibited alternately, providing a packed experience that allows visitors to enjoy both the manga and anime.

In the new area, you can fully experience “Given the Movie: To the Sea” and “Given 10th Mix”!

Looking back on the story, it was a heart-wrenching experience. This area was added at the Yokohama venue in October 2024, so it’s especially worth checking out if you’re seeing it for the first time at “ENCORE.” It’s a space where you’re sure to be immersed in the world of “Given the Movie: Into the Sea.”

Amazingly, this video is also the “ENCORE ver.”! Be sure to burn their powered-up appearance into your eyes…! There’s plenty to see, including a “Given 10th Mix” exhibit and a life-size statue! In the “Given 10th Mix” area, you can fully enjoy the appearance of Mafuyu and the others 10 years in the future. This exhibition is the only place where you can experience their growth.

Looking back at the characters’ stories 10 years after the beginning of the story, I felt like I was opening an album and reminiscing about that time. I’m sure there are many people who will feel a strange sense of following the path of Given and Mafuyu and the others’ lives…!

Even the instruments they’re holding are nicely decorated, showing the attention to detail. This statue is a photo-friendly area, so feel free to take lots of photos to capture your memories with the two of you! Merchandise has also been upgraded! In the merchandise corner, new Tokyo return items were on sale, including the “Given 10th Mix Connectable Big Acrylic Stand,” “Clear Mini Shikishi,” and “Pashyakore PREMIUM (45 designs).” In addition to existing merchandise, there are new products on sale…what a treat!
