Calling fans of manga, anime and video games! Akihabara may be known as Tokyo's top destination for pop culture, but if you're a female fan or girlgamer, head to Ikebukuro!

Ikebukuro's "Otome Road" otherwise known as Maiden Street is a treasure trove of fandom goods all aimed towards girls. You can find plushies, doujinshi fan art books, accessories, stationery and SO much more; I found merch from My Hero Academia, Fruits Basket, Persona 5, The Tales Of Series, Fate... it felt endless!

We also headed to The Pokemon Mega Centre Tokyo the largest Pokemon Centre in Japan! Let's just say, stay tuned for a video later on in the #hijessicaanneinjapan series where I'll be sharing a haul including everything I bought in this vlog (it's a LOT)!

If you've read this far, let me know what your favourite anime/manga/video game is in the comments recommend me a good series!
