HIDIVE’s popular maid action comedy anime series, Akiba Maid War, is heating up again this summer with an exciting pop-up café collaboration in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The grand opening is set to take place on June 28, 2024, with the café open to the public until the end of July.
Via a press release, Little Akihabara, in collaboration with Akiba Maid War producers Cygames and licensor Sentai Filmworks, is opening a brand-new maid café in Little Tokyo “like you’ve never seen before.” The Akiba Maid War Pop-Up Café, inspired by the anime’s Ton Tokoton or Pig House, will open at 319 E. 2nd St. #122 Los Angeles, CA, 90012 on June 28, 2024, through July 28 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays except July 8), and is available from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. “Come enjoy an authentic maid café in the heart of Little Tokyo with an immersive setting that brings the ‘Ton Tokoton’ Café to life!” the experience is teased. “Witness the darker side behind all the cute frills and lace as you learn firsthand just how cutthroat the Maid Cafés of Akihabara can truly be!” Fans can purchase tickets for the special pre-grand opening event on June 27, with general ticketing also available here.
