Step into Megan's Otakuverse

Fans journey through a neon-lit plaza of storefronts, each one hiding a challenge that unlocks a new layer of Otaku Hottie status.

Everyone starts with a Quest Bracelet and a single charm — the rest have to be won. Pick your cosplay fit, survive a team floor-is-lava course, battle 1-on-1 in Mortal Kombat 1 on Xbox Series X, and cook Megan's actual ramen recipe. Complete a challenge, get a charm — awarded by Megan herself, who's on the floor the whole time as the official hype-hottie.

THE LOGIC

AN ANIME ICON

Her passion influences every aspect of her life and artistry. She even has an alter ego, Tina Snow.

While her previous music integrated anime with references and music, the latest album, Megan, went all in.

BREAKING BARRIERS IN FANDOM

Anime may be having a massive moment, but MTS has been repping nerd culture since before it was cool — speaking out against discrimination in high school, showing up at the Crunchyroll Awards, and becoming a key figure for Black women in fandoms.

WHY AIRBNB

Other brands focus solely on her rap career. Airbnb’s adventurous, playful personality allows us to authentically showcase her love for anime.

START YOUR QUEST

Drawing from anime's tradition of legendary butler characters, a white-gloved greeter welcomes fans with a personal letter from Megan and their Quest Bracelet with play number charm.

THE ACADEMY

Head over to the locker room, where you’ll find everything needed to create a classic preppy anime school uniform like Meg's fave Yumeko Jabami—blazers, pleated skirts, face gems, you name it.

After everyone is dressed, Megan shows up for a style showdown and gives out the next charm.

ENTER THE OTAKUVERSE

Beyond the academy lies a Tokyo-inspired streetscape wrapped in murals of MTS's most iconic cosplays. Vintage TVs play Megan’s music videos. Players try to spot the Otaku, anime and video game references.

LAVA LOUNGE

Hope you stretched, ‘cause the Hottie Lava Lounge is bringing the heat.

Teams split into 2 for a Megan-inspired floor-is-lava course. Fans snatch as many hidden treasure chests as possible. But it’s not just about speed. Extra charms will be given for style.

BOSS LEVEL

The next challenge is a 1-on-1 Mortal Kombat 1 competition on Xbox.

Don’t worry, your fate won’t play out like in my BOA music video. Fuel up with peach gummies, spicy snacks, and other Japanese treats, because you’ll have to beat Megan for a special charm.

HOT BOWL SUMMER

Megan is a full-time Hottie and part-time foodie, and she's sharing her fave ramen recipe. You’re welcome!Hit the toppings bar to load up on all my favorite ingredients and spices. Go big with the heat for an extra charm if you think you can handle it.Wash it all down with her Chicas Divertidas tequila or a Meg-approved mocktail.

Before leaving, the butler has one last surprise. Back in The Academy, each locker has a loot box stacked with rewards based on every charm you earned. And the fit? Yours to keep.
