Namco to open Manga-themed attraction in Tokyo

Japanese game company Namco Bandai Group is set to open a new indoor attraction, dedicated to the Shonen Jump comic magazine, in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district in mid 2013.

The 6,168 metre² indoor theme park will open on the third floor of the World Import Mart building of the Sunshine City shopping complex.

Shonen Jump is a weekly magazine published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines.

Areas dedicated to themes from the publication will feature in the park including One Piece, Dragon Ball and Naruto.

Namjatown, the current Namco theme park at the location will close this month and be relocated to the building's second floor before reopening in the summer.
