Anime fans may remember Comic Connection – the go-to store to satiate our anime needs before it closed down island-wide in 2016. If that’s left a gaping hole in your otaku heart, here’s some good news: anime store Hakken has opened a second outlet in Singapore at VivoCity.
P.S. You may also have heard of its initial launch in Plaza Singapura and even contributed to its instant sellouts and barrage of stock requests. For more merch galore, visit this latest outlet that’s home to even more titles than the first!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a long-time anime fan who binge-watched Fairy Tail on KissAnime back in the day or a newcomer who’s only recently discovered Attack On Titan on Netflix. There’s something for every anime lover at Hakken VivoCity, with more than 700 official merch items here.

Everything you’ll need to express your love for your fandom can be found here, from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Gojo sticker sets to Genshin Impact plushies. T-shirts from mangas like Rent -a-Girlfriend and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime character keychains are just some of the wearables and accessories to take home.

Other products include stationery, collectables, figurines and post-it pads, with a total of 30 notable licensed titles from the anime industry on their shelves. Think: merch from Demon Slayer, One Piece and Tokyo Revengers to bust that wallet on.

With no IRL anime events like Comic Convention and Anime Festival Asia (AFA) during this period, we definitely need more outlets to express our love for anime, manga and Japanese novels. Now, there’s a new shop in town to fawn over high-quality merchandise and perhaps splurge on a new addition for your growing collection at home.
Hakken VivoCity
Address: 1 HarbourFront Walk, #02-37 Vivocity, Singapore 098585
