Drecom Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yuki Naito) has announced that the popular series currently being published under its women's comic label "DRE Comics F," "A Royal Rebound: Forget My Ex-Fiancé, I'm Being Pampered by the Prince!" (Manga by Aoi Rebin, Original Story by Mikoto Sakurai, Character Design by Kuroyuki), has surpassed 1 million copies in cumulative sales.
To commemorate this, a large-scale panoramic advertisement will go up at JR Ikebukuro Station starting today, Monday, May 18, 2026. In addition, we will be holding the "Celebrating 1 Million Copies! 'The Royal Rebound' Fan Appreciation Festival" at participating bookstores in the Ikebukuro area and beyond. We will also be running special promotions at various digital stores, including free access to Volume 1 of the manga series and discounts on previously published volumes.

A giant billboard packed with "being pampered" and "serves you right" has appeared at JR Ikebukuro Station!

To commemorate the "The Royal Rebound" series surpassing 1 million copies in cumulative sales, a large-scale panoramic advertisement is currently on display on Orange Road, the passageway outside the ticket gates at JR Ikebukuro Station.
The design features a striking contrast between the "pampered" scenes--where the protagonist Amelia and Prince Salju are drawn to each other, a key charm of the series--and the "selfish lines" spoken by her former fiancé. Visitors can experience the beautiful illustrations up close.

Display Period: May 18 (Mon) - May 24 (Sun), 2026
Display Location: Outside the ticket gates at JR Ikebukuro Station, along Orange Road

*Please refrain from asking station staff for information.
*When viewing the advertisement, please be considerate of other passengers around you.
