Maniani World Appears in Taipei Metro Wrapped Train Campaign! Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station Gate Decorations and Second Round of Collaborative Goods Confirmed!

Frontier Works Inc. (Animate Group) brings you the latest news!

Frontier Works Inc. (headquartered in Itabashi-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masahide Tsuji; hereinafter "Frontier Works"), part of the Animate Group, is pleased to announce that Maniani World—the original brand created by Frontier Works and illustrator Maniani, who has been gaining global attention—will participate in the second phase of its collaboration with Taipei Metro (Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, Ltd., headquartered in Taipei City, Taiwan; Chairman: Chao Shao-Lien; hereinafter "Taipei Metro"). This includes a wrapped train campaign, station gate decorations, and the release of a second round of collaborative merchandise.

Starting July 2026, a wrapped train featuring multiple works will begin operations on Taipei Metro's Tamsui-Xinyi Line. Special in-station decorations will also be implemented. Maniani World will participate in this project, adorning the sixth car of the wrapped train and the gate area of Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station with its "kowaii" (scary-yet-cute) monsters. We invite you to ride Taipei Metro and fully enjoy the unique world of Maniani World.

Additionally, a second round of collaborative goods will be released starting late July, featuring brand-new illustrations drawn by illustrator Maniani. The theme of these illustrations is "Maniani World's monsters riding the train together." Alongside popular items like acrylic stands and postcards, practical everyday goods such as drink holders—popular in Taiwanese culture—will also be available.

*Please note that the launch date and details of this collaboration are subject to change depending on circumstances.
