// ABOUT THIS SHOP

On the 1st floor of AKIHABARA KADAN, on Chuo-dori just off the Suehirocho intersection, minny is a trading-card shop built around buying cards. Among the minny locations run by Iranoan Inc., it is the second, following the Omiya store, and it opened in November 2022. Sitting next to "Akiba CO Gallery" along Chuo-dori, it's a street-level shop you can step into straight from the sidewalk. What sets it apart is folding an in-house "online gacha" into the buyback process. When you sell cards, the sale earns you draws for a chance at showcase cards or sealed boxes — an experience designed so that selling isn't just the end of the transaction. There are also periodic events, such as buyback bonuses on the second Saturday of each month, giving you a reason to time your visit. It buys a broad range of titles, including Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, ONE PIECE, Duel Masters, Weiss Schwarz and Shadowverse Evolve, and consignment sales are an option too. It's about a one-minute walk from Suehirocho Station. Easy to drop into while walking along Chuo-dori, it works as one stop when clearing out a collection or comparing appraisals on high-value cards across several shops. It also runs the "minny mail-order store" online, opening its doors to those who can't visit in person.
