Comic Exhibition Coverage

Awhile ago I wrote a post on my blog about my trip to Taiwan's version of manga convention called Comic Exhibition.

Comic Exhibition, what I used to called Manga convention since I was having a hard time translating the Chinese name into English, is held every year during summer for all the otaku. As the name says the convention is mainly themed around Comic books (Manga). However, they also sell anime DVD, games, visual novel, and figures there too.

The 11th Annual Comic Exhibition (aka manga convention) in Taipei was going on full force for the past 2 days and for the next 4 days. The exhibition this year is a little bit more special than the pasts, not only are there manga but light novel also took a very big part of it too. This year the Comic Exhibition also invited many light novel authors like Kenji Inoue (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu) and Tomohiro Matsu (Mayoi Neko Overrun!). You can really tell light novel is getting more popular over the years now.

A lot of translated light novel are also coming on in Taiwan for the first time during the convention too; Bakemonogatari part 1, Durarara Vol. 1-5, Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, Mayoi Neko Overrun!, and many more.

Overall I took about 100+ photo and since I can't upload them all on figure.fm because of bad internet connection in Taiwan, please go to my blog to look at more picture.
