Mornimo, Jinan's first commercial complex themed around ACGN (anime, comics, games, and novels) opened in late January at the former site of Yanxin Middle School.

The complex has quickly drawn attention with a large exterior mural inspired by the popular anime series Bleach, making it a new gathering spot for young fans and cosplay enthusiasts.

Inside, Mornimo brings together a range of ACGN-related brands, including designer toy label The Midi. The first floor focuses on anime-themed retail, while the second floor combines themed markets with live band performances, creating a space that integrates shopping, entertainment, and socializing.

Positioned as a comprehensive hub for ACGN culture in Jinan, Mornimo plans to introduce permanent exhibition areas for anime conventions and related events, aiming to provide young people with a dedicated venue for leisure and community engagement.
