ATASHIn'CHI mangaka Eiko Kera visited Taiwan

Eiko Kera, creator of ATASHIn'CHI manga that serialized in Sunday edition of The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper for 14 years, visited Taiwan between July 24-26 to promote Taichung County Children's Art Museum that transformed one of its exhibition area into the home of the Tachibana family of ATASHIn'CHI. A press conference was held on July 24th at KingStone Cultural Square which has a specialized manga corner.

Unlike most Japanese guests of honor who usually keep a distance from his/her fans, Kera-sensei was very open to questions and very kind to her loyal fans like these two little girls (note their handbags).

Due to some personal factors I haven't had my album organized and uploaded, and I feel terribly sorry to cosplayers and friends whom I promised to give photos to. This time I tried to use the built-in Flash direct linkage to my album at Yam, but it was buggy and could only display resized pictures using Internet Explorer, not with Firefox, forcing me to re-upload the title picture to Photobucket.
