The Special Edition of the Japanese lifestyle magazine anan (No. 2488) features the iconic arcade character PAC‑MAN on the cover as part of a collaboration marking the 45th anniversary of PAC‑MAN. The overall special theme ties into health and wellness, positioning PAC‑MAN’s iconic energetic character as a fun motif for feeling well and energetic.
The lead feature of this issue is “Body Alignment & Spring Health Care 2026”, focusing on ways to improve physical condition and ease common seasonal discomforts (e.g., due to temperature changes or allergies). Content includes easy daily care tips like food guidance (e.g., miso soup, recipes with seaweed), immune‑boosting methods, self‑care routines before sleep, and general lifestyle advice meant to help readers stay healthy in spring.
There’s a playful interview segment with a doctor about PAC‑MAN’s long‑lasting stamina and vitality, framed as if exploring the character’s “secret to staying fit.” The magazine includes appearances or mentions of several Bandai Namco Entertainment characters alongside PAC‑MAN (for example characters from Taiko no Tatsujin, The Idolmaster Shiny Colors, Tales of series, Katamari, etc.), presented in cute photos and with their own comments about staying healthy.
A special collectible with the magazine is a set of anan‑original character cards featuring PAC‑MAN and other popular Bandai Namco characters in cover‑style portrait cards, a fun bonus for fans and collectors.
