Overwhelmingly Cute! 'Seiwado Bookstore x Yontabi Bunko Collaboration Fair' to be Held!

Daiwa Shobo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tetsu Daiwa) will sequentially hold a collaboration fair between its paperback label 'Yontabi Bunko,' which allows readers to travel through reading, and Seiwado Bookstore, starting April 9, 2026, at bookstores nationwide.

Limited Covers Designed as Suitcases Available Nationwide

The year 2026 marks the 4th anniversary of 'Yontabi Bunko.' Commemorative fairs will be held at bookstores nationwide.

This fair is a collaboration with Seiwado Bookstore, popular for its original and unique book cover and bookmark designs. The design uniquely portrays the book cover as a suitcase and the bookmark as its handle.

This design, which perfectly matches 'Yontabi Bunko's' concept of 'traveling through reading,' has been well-received, resulting in 2.5 times the usual number of orders.

This fair is limited to bookstore storefronts and for a limited time, so please visit your local bookstore!

"(Yontabi Bunko) is a series I personally like, and it's a brand that's often picked up at Seiwado Bookstore. This time, we've designed the book to look like a suitcase, with the bookmark as its handle. The bookmark has a trick where if you flip it over, it becomes an airplane ticket. I hope people can experience the excitement and thrill before a trip." — Mr. Konishi, Seiwado Bookstore
