The store occupies over 3,000 square meters and offers approximately 500,000 types of licensed IP merchandise, including figures, limited-edition collectibles, and internationally sourced products.

The store is a key component of the plaza's initiative to build an integrated demonstration zone for digital culture and commerce. This move follows a strategic partnership established between Oriental International Commercial Plaza and Guangzhou Firefly ACG to jointly develop anime-themed spaces within the zone, which aims to foster deeper integration between the ACG (animation, comics, games) industry and commercial, cultural, and tourism sectors.

By combining retail, experiential, and interactive elements, the project aims to serve the young ACG enthusiasts in the area, with the goal of enhancing the district's cultural vibrancy and advancing the integrated development of its cultural, commercial, and tourism activities.
