Hi everyone! I’m Sarah. I’ve played many different roles at TOM to date: customer support, fashion merchandising, marketing, and more! I’m a lifelong fujoshi (I love yuri, too!), and I enjoy a little bit of everything--anime, manga, visual novel games, books, console RPGs… I’ll probably spend the rest of my life working through the giant backlog of everything I want to read, watch, or play.
My all-time favorite anime is Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Soukyuu no Fafner comes in a close second. Lately I’ve been horribly hooked on Final Fantasy XV! Of course I loved Yuri!!! on Ice (Vituuri is life), but all our Yuri!!! products sell so fast that I’m afraid to recommend them--they just might sell out by the time you see this page!
I’m originally from the East Coast of the United States. I moved to Japan about 6 years ago, but I didn’t come to Tokyo right away. First I spent a while in quieter cities to the west and southwest--mainly Kumamoto, Kyoto, and Himeji. I really love the everyday scenery that comes with living in Japan! Rice fields seen from the window of a train cutting through the countryside, mountains against the distant sky, neighborhood bakeries and old-fashioned coffee shops and little vegetable stalls, the lights and drums of local festivals….
But to be totally honest with you, I like the 2-D world best of all! :P

Product Name: Love Live! Sunshine!! Hanamaru Kunikida
Series: Love Live! Sunshine!!
Manufacturer: Banpresto
Specifications: painted, non-articulated, non-scale figure with stand
Order Limit: 3 per person
It looks like Hanamaru Kunikida from Love Live! Sunshine!! is about to head off on a fun adventure. She might spend a lot of time alone, but with that inviting wink we'd say she definitely wouldn't mind if you joined her! (ゝ∀・) Although the modest Hanamaru doesn't think she's cute, this charming figure shows off everything that makes her so adorable. It also comes with a stand!
I used to be pretty skeptical about Love Live. Then I started watching Sunshine, and it blew me away. Afterward, of course, I went back and marathoned the original Love Live. NicoMaki forever!!
When you’ve been into anime and games for a while, you start to get pretty accurate at predicting who your favorite character will be. In Sunshine, Hanamaru is clearly best girl. But going into it, I had no idea I’d end up being a giant Hanamaru fan! It’s such a pleasant surprise when a character seizes your heart out of nowhere.
PS. She also graces the February 2017 cover of Dengeki G's Magazine. She’s such a perfect cinnamon roll… too good for this world….!

Materials:
Requires: 3 LR44 batteries (test batteries included)
Curl up with a TOM Exclusive Nemuriale Sleep Aid Puppy and get a calm and peaceful night's sleep while also indulging your otaku tendencies! The adorable Miniature Stafford puppy cover comes with a TOM original ribbon collar.
The stress of having difficulty sleeping can really get you down and affect your day-to-day life. Simply switch on the Nemuriale Sleep Aid Puppy and it emits a soothing heartbeat for 20 minutes, helping to carry you away to dreamland.
Since it's such a portable size, you can take it with you wherever you go and top up its relaxing effect whenever you need to! It's ideal for trains or planes, or anywhere else you'd like to get some shut-eye.
I have one of these little guys at home (I also gave one to my parents a few years ago). I’ve been sleeping so well lately that now it functions more as a decorative plushie than as a sleep aid. However--I can tell you from experience that it’s a very useful way to calm down after you stay up late playing games or watching anime and get too hyped to sleep!

This Tokyo Otaku Mode Creator Tapestrywas illustrated by Japanese manga artist, video game artist, and character designer Tony who is especially well-known for his work on the Shining RPGs, doujinshi, and eroge series.
This B1-size tapestry features the artwork "Annabel" and comes ready to hang with included poles and string. It was first available at the Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2016, but is now available right here!
This stunning tapestry is one of the items we brought to the Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2016. I helped man the Tokyo Otaku Mode booth there, and the first time I saw this piece in person, I just could not believe the incredible quality and stunning colors. On top of that, it’s enormous! As long as you think you’re ready to handle the sexiness, it could very well become the centerpiece of your collection.

Product Name: LIZ LISA Down Coat w/ Faux Fur Tippet (Limited Edition)
Brand: LIZ LISA
Sizes: M, L
Material:
Colors:
Keep warm in style with this stunning down coat from LIZ LISA! Available in pink in two sizes including medium and large, it even includes a faux fur tippet for an added touch of high fashion that you’ll wear comfortably everyday! It has a plushy feel that you’ll fall in love with instantly, and little details like the added lace and ribbon are the perfect finishing touches.
January and February are the coldest months in Japan. At least in Tokyo, December feels comparatively mild. At this bone-chilling time of year, there’s nothing better than a nice down coat.
Here’s a confession: I knew almost nothing about LIZ LISA before my tenure on TOM’s fashion buying team. But as I got to know the brand (and learned more about the incredibly passionate fan community outside Japan), I became deeply impressed by the detail and quality of their designs. Take this coat, for example: the Peter Pan collar, the big ribbon in front, and the lace peeking out from below the faux fur tippet all help set it apart from standard down jackets. Plus, the ribbon and tippet can be removed whenever you’re in the mood for a different, more streamlined look.
PS. We just added a bunch of new LIZ LISA garments for the first time in a very long time! We’re super excited to keep strengthening our partnership with them and look forward to delighting you with lots of more new LIZ LISA in the months to come.
I love Aria so much that I’m going to Venice for my honeymoon (actually got married a few years ago--we’ve just been too dang lazy to sit down and plan out our trip). Seriously, though, the Aria anime means a lot to me. Watching it soothed my stress in college, and after I joined the working world, Aria was what kept reminding me to enjoy & make the most out of every minute of everyday life.
I never expected there to be such a beautiful new Aria figure so long after the series ended. If they make figures of the other main characters, I’ll have no choice but to buy them all!
