The previous physical exhibition was held in Tokyo in 2019 and in Kyoto in 2020 to celebrate the novels' 10th anniversary.
Similarly, the official website for the Made in Abyss anime announced on Friday that the anime's staff will hold an online fan meeting to look back at the anime's first season and film before the second season starts airing. The fan meeting will be available not just in Japan, but also in select countries overseas.
The "Made in Abyss Online Fan Meeting - Cave Raiders Guild Rally –" event will take place on November 21.
