1. “Bromides” Perfect for Collecting
First up is the classic “Bromide.” In Japan, portrait photos of idols or characters are commonly referred to as “bromides.”
A rich variety of 10 different types is available. They capture the couple’s harmonious moments and unique expressions.
You can choose from two sizes: “L size (89mm × 127mm),” which is the standard photo size in Japan, and “2L size (127mm × 178mm),” which is twice as large. It is attractive that you can choose according to your purpose, such as the L size for carrying in a planner, or the 2L size for displaying in a photo frame in your room.

2. “Message Postcards” to Convey Feelings
These message postcards are perfect when you want to convey your feelings to someone special, or when you want to display a message for yourself.
There are two types available, both featuring illustrations with a gentle touch. precisely because digital communication is mainstream now, it is wonderful to enclose a handwritten message with a gift, or decorate your desk area with one as a healing item.

3. “Stickers” Great for Phone Cases Too
Stickers that allow you to decorate your personal items are also arriving. Like the bromides, these come in two varieties and are available in L and 2L sizes.

For those who don’t know “Kkamang and Anto” well yet, here is a profile of them.
These characters were launched in 2023 by kkamang, a creator living in Korea. They depict the daily life of a certain couple. The trivial daily interactions and expressions in fleeting moments have gathered passionate support, mainly from the MZ generation (Millennials and Gen Z), with reactions like “I get it!” and “So cute!”

Although the event runs for about two months, limited-time events end before you know it. We recommend going to FamilyMart early if you are interested, so you don’t regret it later thinking, “I wish I had bought it then.” Topics often become buzzy right after the start or just before the end, so please purchase with plenty of time to spare.
