Ize Press has confirmed a new pop-up store in New York City, celebrating Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
Ize Press has officially announced 'System Sync,' a new limited-time pop-up store in New York City, dedicated to the popular Korean fantasy manhwa series Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. The event is scheduled to run from August 14 until the end of the month, located at 238 E 6th Street in Manhattan.
The timing of the pop-up store is set to coincide with this year’s Anime NYC, which takes place from August 20th to 23rd. Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase English editions of both manhwa, alongside a range of exclusive merchandise created specifically for the event, including keychains, standees, T-shirts, and hoodies.
Beyond merchandise, the 'System Sync' pop-up will feature themed photo installations, purchase-based rewards, and a stamp rally in conjunction with Anime NYC. Collectible bookmarks and stickers will also be available, with bonus gifts offered to visitors attending in cosplay. This event follows the recent confirmation of a Solo Leveling anime sequel film, continuing the story after its second season.
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, often considered a peer in global renown, also has an anime adaptation in production, though a release window has not yet been confirmed. Both series are frequently noted for their neck-and-neck popularity and shared system tropes, with Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint protagonist Kim Dokja often drawing comparisons to Solo Leveling's Jinwoo.
This joint pop-up provides a significant opportunity for North American fans and collectors to engage directly with both influential series. The curated selection of exclusive items and interactive experiences underscores the growing global presence and dedicated fanbase for Korean fantasy manhwa, further solidifying their place in the broader collector landscape.
