The Drifting Classroom immersive horror event is running in two versions at GALLERY ZENON in Kichijoji, with the original run through September 6 and a Scariest ver. starting August 19. The event commemorates Kazuo Umezu's 90th birthday.
The Drifting Classroom is the subject of an immersive horror event organized by NO MORE Inc. and Coamix Inc. The event, titled UMEZZ HORROR HOUSE ~Drifting Classroom and Thought Experiment Exhibition~, opened on July 17 at GALLERY ZENON in Kichijoji, Tokyo, and runs through September 6. It marks the 90th birthday of manga artist Kazuo Umezu, whose work Drifting Classroom forms the basis of the horror experience.
The event combines the horror installation with the Thought Experiment Exhibition, a format that has drawn over 20,000 visitors across Tokyo and Osaka. On August 14, the organizers announced a Scariest ver. of the event, which begins August 19. This version adds new cast horror performances and enhanced spatial staging, aiming to deepen the immersion of entering the manga's world. Tickets for the Scariest ver. went on sale August 14 at 20:00.
The two stories track the event's expansion from a birthday commemoration into a heightened presentation. The original run remains open while the Scariest ver. extends the experience with a more intense staging. No further details about the event's future beyond the current dates have been announced.
