Jack Jeanne Exhibition Marks Five Years with Art, Costumes, and Sequel Hints

The Jack Jeanne Exhibition, a fifth-anniversary event for the boys’ opera simulation game Jack Jeanne, is now running at Yurakucho Marui. The exhibition looks back on the title’s history while also offering stage costumes, rare production materials, and elements that build anticipation for what comes next. It has been captivating many fans.

Jack Jeanne is a boys’ opera simulation game with original work, character design, and world design by Ishida Sui, known for Tokyo Ghoul, and a scenario by Towada Shin. Set at the Univeil Opera School, it follows protagonist Tachibana Kisa as she and her friends devote their youth to theater.

Its beautiful illustrations, delicate emotional portrayal, and dense performance sections that feel like experiencing actual stage works have earned it a broad following. Since its 2021 release, the title has continued to be loved beyond the boundaries of a game.

Five years of history with the work

Visitors first encounter a chronology that traces Jack Jeanne’s history. The display carefully organizes the project from its announcement to the present, offering a broad view of the visuals and developments released so far. Although this event marks five years since the game’s release, the timeline also conveys the longer accumulation of production work behind it.

The venue also displays contributed comments from Ishida Sui and Towada Shin, along with newly drawn color shikishi for the exhibition. For fans who have loved the work, this is a valuable chance to encounter the creators’ thoughts.

One highlight is the collection of production materials by Ishida Sui. The display includes materials showing how characters were created and concept-stage roughs that are rarely seen. Some materials previously shown at the 2021 Ishida Sui Exhibition are also on display again, allowing a glimpse behind the scenes of the work’s creation.

What stands out again is the appeal of Ishida Sui’s touch. The lines are sharp yet somehow fragile, conveying the characters’ emotions and the atmosphere around them. The delicacy and youthful sparkle of Jack Jeanne are supported by this visual expression.

Stage costumes and a secret area bring the performances back

Among the exhibits, the stage costumes are especially likely to make visitors stop and look closely.

The costumes on display cover the newcomer performance ‘Fumin’ou’ (不眠王), the summer performance Weekend Lesson, the autumn performance Mary Jane (メアリー・ジェーン), the winter performance OH rama HAVENNA!, and the final performance Oukoku no Shishia (央國のシシア). Seeing the outfits once viewed through the game screen as three-dimensional objects deepens immersion in the work’s world.

The detailed decorations and fabric textures convey a commitment to stage art. The display makes clear that Jack Jeanne is not merely a game but a project filled with love for the expressive art of theater itself.

The venue also includes an area for the manga adaptation and the one-shot series FOLIAGE. Through original manuscripts and illustrations, visitors can take in the characters’ expressions and individual stage moments, discovering charms different from the game. The delicate emotional expression conveyed in every line is a must-see, and fans who have immersed themselves deeply in the world will appreciate it all the more.

A particularly notable display is the latest entry in the FOLIAGE one-shot series, ROOTS. Depicting Quartz before the main Jack Jeanne story, it allows visitors to encounter the figures who lead into the main narrative and deepen their understanding of the world. The space is packed with the creative trajectory of Jack Jeanne, and its appeal should be experienced directly at the venue. Many exhibits are meant to be taken home not as photographs but as memories.

Further in, the final stop is a special zone called the Secret Area. Photography is unfortunately not allowed, so details cannot be shared, but what waits at the end of the exhibition is unmissable for fans looking forward to the future of Jack Jeanne.

One especially striking element is a display that suggests a connection to the sequel project. While avoiding definitive claims, the area includes devices that hint at a new story and characters, making it impossible not to imagine ‘the Univeil that comes next.’ It greatly raises anticipation for the Jack Jeanne sequel project reportedly in production.

Exhibition goods and fan highlights

The Jack Jeanne Exhibition is not only a look back at five years. It reaffirms the passion of the creators who have supported the work, Ishida Sui’s distinctive worldview, and the youthful path the characters have built, while also inspiring expectations for the future beyond it. It is a must-see event for anyone moved by Quartz’s story and for fans curious about the sequel.

The merchandise area is also substantial. It offers a wide lineup of fifth-anniversary goods, including plush toys, acrylic stands, and tin badges. A photo booth is also set up where visitors can take photos with their own goods.

The Jack Jeanne Exhibition runs at the Yurakucho Marui 8F event space until October 25, 2026. The exhibition switched to its latter period on October 19, and admission includes the ‘Past Anniversary Visual Cards (all five types)’ as a bonus. It is scheduled to open at the Hakata Marui 7F event space from November 13 to November 29, 2026.

Tokyo venue: Yurakucho Marui, October 9-25, 2026, 11:00-19:00 (last entry 18:30).
Fukuoka venue: Hakata Marui, November 13-29, 2026, 10:00-19:00 (last entry 18:30).

The event is recommended not only for longtime Jack Jeanne fans but also for those drawn to the delicate and fleeting worldview of Ishida Sui’s work.
