For a lot of you, school will be starting up sooner than you like to think. So if you’re planning on doing some back to school shopping, why not show off your love of anime?
Note that the prices listed are as of this writing; they may have increased or decreased by the time you read this.
Tokyo Ghoul Backpack – $24.99 at Spencer’s
Anime-related backpacks may be one of the easiest back-to-school essentials to find related to anime, especially if you consider options like Pokémon. But for those hoping for something besides Pikachu or Mario, here’s a Tokyo Ghoul option that’s exclusive to Spencer’s.
Plus, as of this writing, there’s free shipping on backpacks.
Nintendo Switch Collectible Lunchbox Kit Zelda: Breath of the Wild Link’s Bow Edition – $19.97 at GameStop
Metal lunchboxes were never my preference, but some people like them. If you’re looking at one anyway, why not get something for fun with it? This set gets you not only a cool image of Link on the lunchbox, but you get an exclusive Joy-Con Comfort Grip for your Switch and a few other accessories. It’s a way to hang out after a long day of school!

My Neighbor Totoro Nested Totoro & Flowers Plastic Container 3-Piece Set – $14.95 at Tokyo Otaku Mode
Depending on your likes, a cute anime lunchbag is as easy to find as a backpack. But what about what goes in your lunchbag? Well, with this set, whenever you go to eat your sandwich or whatever, Totoro’s adorable face will be there to greet you.
Shipping is free on $150+.
Doraemon Dancing Pencil Case – $11.99 at eKnight Media
Well, unfortunately, Doraemon isn’t around to pull out whatever you need whenever you need it. Instead, you’ll have to settle for this case with his image on it to store your pencils. But I like how this one is a soft case and not a metal box like most anime pencil boxes.
Shipping is free on $40+.
Pokémon Bed-In-A-Bag – $39.99 at ThinkGeek
For those of you heading off to college, you may be in need of new bedding. In this bundle, you get the complete bedding set (comforter, sheets, and pillow covers) as well as a cute Pikachu decorative pillow. Queen size is currently sold out, but most dorm rooms will need either the Twin or Full size, both of which are still available.
Free shipping on $75+.
Sword Art Online Mini Desk Clock SD Kirito (2.5 in) – $8.99 at Right Stuf
Yes, a lot of people use their phones as their alarm clocks nowadays. But if you need a backup alarm or just need something to give you that extra wake-up call, perhaps the Kirito on this clock can help.
Shipping is free on $50+.
Hello Kitty Table Lamp, Magenta – $34.95 at Walmart
For those late night cram sessions, review your textbooks by the light of this Hello Kitty lamp. The on/off switch is on the base and is much easier to access than the usual slide switch where the light bulb is. There is a pink version of this lamp, but it’s slightly more. If you go with this one and choose free in-store pickup, you can get a small discount.
