<br />
It was a huge huge event. More than 2 third of the booths were owed by big commercial companies, but there were quite a lot of small presses like us. There were some groups dealing with Dojin-shi (fan art book), and they were very popular! <br />
Not only manga and anime, but also you were able to enjoy Japanese music (some famous musicians had gigs), martial art (include professional wrestling), Japanese food and more!<br />
We had a really good time and met nice people!<br />
We hope to see them again next year.<br />
<br />
Another news for today!<br />
Finally, King of Miniature Garden is completed!<br />
<img src="images/kmgvol4covers.jpg" width="500" height="355" alt="" class="pict" /><br />
This volume is too long (almost 50 pages long) so I had to print in two separate books, thus these two covers.<br />
They are set in a vinyl bag and its price will be £5.<br />
When all the system of the mail order set I will let you know!!<br />
It's really coming soon!!<br />
<br />
Oh! Finally, we detaches the link to Umisen-Yamsen BBS... [:ぶー:] Spams are too overpowering and there's nothing we can do... Sad and annoying... Thank you for those who used our BBS to leave comments for us! From now on, please use, contact form or email us directly (please fined our contact detail at ">>contact" link below! [:ラッキー:]<br />
