Two Black Butler anime arcs, the Public School Arc and the Emerald Witch Arc, are being promoted together through a pop-up shop and talk event in Tokyo in early 2026.
The Black Butler anime series is currently being represented by two arcs: the Public School Arc and the Emerald Witch Arc. A pop-up shop dedicated to both arcs will run from January 31 to February 15, 2026, at Shinjuku Marui Annex in Tokyo, selling new merchandise with original illustrations. A talk event featuring director Kenjiro Okada, character designer Yumi Shimizu, and animation producer Taito Ito is scheduled for February 7 at Shinjuku Marui Men. The shop and talk event bundle the two arcs into a single promotional push, giving fans a chance to hear directly from the production team about both seasons.
Separately, the studio CloverWorks announced a regional tour of its POP UP SHOP 2026 event, starting January 16 in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, followed by Nagoya in February and Kochi in March. That tour includes merchandise for several series but does not specifically mention Black Butler among the listed titles. The Black Butler pop-up shop remains a Tokyo-only event, with online sales via the Marui Web Channel running concurrently from January 31 to February 15.
No further details about the Black Butler anime itself-such as release dates, episode counts, or staff beyond the talk event participants-have been provided in these stories. The current promotional activity focuses entirely on merchandise and a single talk event, with no new production announcements or updates about the series' future.
