It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the Yowamushi Pedal anime debuted! Based on the manga of the same name by Wataru Watanabe, the anime will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in style with a special exhibition in Saitama. The Yowamushi Pedal TV Anime 10th Anniversary Festival (or YowaPeda Anime Fest) will be a large-scale exhibition hosting photo spots recreating scenes from the series, as well as a life-sized figure of protagonist Sakamichi Onoda. New illustrations are also being created for the exhibition, which the event's X (formerly Twitter) account is teasing with silhouettes. The new art will be unveiled starting May 29.
