Monogatari Series and Hololive's holoX announce interactive exhibition in Tokyo

The Monogatari Series will have an interactive exhibition with Secret Society holoX, the Hololive unit. It is called X Monogatari -Batsumonogatari- and will be held from January 3 to 22, 2027 at the BEAM gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Studio SHAFT, responsible for the anime based on NisiOisiN's novels, prepared an exclusive key visual for the event. It brings together nine characters from the franchise with the four holoX members: Laplus Darkness, Takane Lui, Hakui Koyori, and Kazama Iroha.

The exhibition presents a crossover between both worlds. A dimension called Dimension X appears and, with it, a bug that threatens to destroy both realities. Attendees enter as investigators and walk through the space searching for hidden anomalies while a story unfolds through projections, audio, and scenography.

Swapped illustrators for the crossover

The main content consists of illustrations created for the occasion by two artists. Hajime Ueda, in charge of the anime's endings, draws the holoX girls. Numuri Kusaka, author of the unit's first key visual, draws the Monogatari characters. Details on these pieces will be announced later.

Tickets are divided into two types. The general ticket costs 1,100 yen and grants access to the opening zone and the main illustration room. The special ticket, at 2,750 yen, gives access to all areas, including the full walkthrough of the Dimension X story, and includes an exclusive product.

Applications for the first lottery open on November 25, 2026 at 7:00 PM, until December 3. There will be a second lottery from December 11 to 16, and general sales on a first-come, first-served basis from December 23. Everything is handled through e+.

First round of merchandise

The event shop will sell products featuring SHAFT's art. Badges at 550 yen and acrylic keychains at 770 yen were announced, both in random format. The Monogatari version has eight designs plus one secret; the holoX version has four plus one secret.
