AMANATION Illustrator maniko Designs Original Wrapping Vending Machine for Shibuya Girls International School

AMANATION Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Junya Kojima) announced that its illustrator, maniko, has designed an original wrapping vending machine installed on the campus of Shibuya Girls International School (hereinafter, Shibujo).

A Special Design Blending Student Voices and Creativity

This project was initiated based on real voices and ideas from Shibujo students who expressed a desire for a vending machine on campus, specifically one that was not just convenient but also embodied the unique worldview of Shibujo.

To bring this vision to life, maniko, an illustrator affiliated with the company, participated in the design process, turning the students' ideas into reality. Through maniko's pop touch and unique creativity, an original design packed with 'Shibuya-ness' and 'Shibujo-ness' was completed. This vending machine, installed on campus, adds a vibrant splash of color to the students' learning environment.

Under its mission of 'delivering Japanese culture and the power of creativity to the world,' the company will continue to create opportunities for creators to shine in society through co-creation with businesses and educational institutions.

Comment from maniko

'I created this design to be cute and pop, imagining the students of Shibujo. I would be happy if it becomes a photo spot for the current students. Please take photos in the same pose as the illustration!'
