Takuji Izawa Surprises Everyone with a 'Human Task Management' Notebook! The Third 'QuizKnock x Lawson' Collaboration Is Taking Off

Well, here it is. The collaboration between Takuji Izawa’s “University of Tokyo-born knowledge group” QuizKnock and Lawson is back to tempt our wallets once again. This time, it’s the third instalment. Given that previous collabs sold out instantly, I’m sure many of you saw this announcement and immediately thought, “Yep, this is going to be a battle.”

What’s really getting people talking on social media this time is a product name that is just so quintessentially "Takuji Izawa": the "Human Task Management" notebook. That’s right. The incredibly detailed and unique task management method that Izawa often showcases in QuizKnock videos – a notebook that replicates that very system, and you can now buy it at a convenience store. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, you can’t help but think, “If I get this, maybe I can tap into a fraction of that brilliant mind.” It’s shaping up to be something of a “path-to-enlightenment” merchandise item.

But that’s not all. This time, it’s not just a notebook; there’s also a wide range of everyday items like acrylic key holders and coasters. And for those in the know, you’ve probably already seen that the "QuizKnock x Lawson" collaboration café, a Lawson exclusive, is currently in full swing.

An Exclusive 'Todai King'-Era Lucky Charm Makes a Surprise Appearance?

Now, among the lineup of goods, you might notice something quietly but confidently making its presence felt: a "lucky charm" (omamori). Yes, evoking memories of the 'Todai King' era, it features Hayata Mizukami, Hikari Suzuki, Shuko Tsurusaki, and of course, Takuji Izawa. The fact that this exclusive charm comes with purchases at this particular time – when the four who once reigned as the "strongest team" are now thriving as individual talents – is a brilliant touch that fans will truly appreciate.

For those who’ve been supporting them since those days, it’s a genuine "No way!" moment. It seems you can get a chance to snag this exclusive lucky charm as a bonus or through a lottery when you buy items from the collaboration café or other eligible products. Being able to attach a visual of these four together to your bag or display it in your room… If I’m being honest, this alone takes the rarity level to a whole other tier. It’s the kind of item that makes you want to secure it now before it starts popping up for resale at inflated prices – a real "adulting" move.

Items You Can Only Get at the Collaboration Café

And on top of all that, we can’t overlook the collaboration café-exclusive items. As you can see from the summaries of the bundled offerings, many items, like coasters and key holders, feature designs only available at the café. The acrylic stands depicting individual QuizKnock members are especially tempting – you’ll definitely want to display them all together.

Looking at reports from people who’ve actually visited the café, the place is described as a true "sanctuary for intellectual curiosity and consumer desire." With the added touch of receiving handwritten-style message cards from the members while enjoying your meal, it seems to offer a unique atmosphere that transcends a typical collaboration.

Here’s a quick rundown of the must-have items from this collaboration that you absolutely shouldn’t miss:

• "Human Task Management" Notebook: A legendary item that lets you simulate Takuji Izawa’s thought process on paper.
• Exclusive "Todai King" Lucky Charm: Features a four-shot of Hayata Mizukami, Hikari Suzuki, Shuko Tsurusaki, and Takuji Izawa. This one is sure to be hard to get.
• Collaboration Café Exclusive Goods: Coasters, key holders, acrylic stands. A lineup that fans will want to collect them all.

Honestly, in terms of collaborations this year, it’s rare to see one packed with so many items that fans truly want. I recall Izawa himself mentioning on his social media, with a hint of a smirk, that he included only things he personally wanted to own. And the selection certainly lives up to that statement.

As always with these collaborations, if you don’t act the moment the information drops, they sell out in the blink of an eye. If you’re interested, your best bet is to dash to your nearest Lawson or check out the collaboration café reservation site right now. Seriously.
