Anime, Manga and Cosplay Head to China
Manga is big stuff in Japan and Japanese anime is second to none.
The Japanese have even gone a bit farther, some would say too far, by creating Cosplay – Costume Play – where fans, sometimes stars, dress up in costume like the main characters in a manga or anime series.
It must be a lot of fun….so much so that China has picked up on the craze, or at least one restaurant in Tianjin has…..the Kevedo Restaurant.
It claims to be the first comics-themed restaurant in China. It serves mainly western food but has attracted a great number of anime fanatics.
Cosplay shows, interactive games and access to video games are
part of the appeal.
I wonder…has Ello Bello caught on there yet?
Oka
y…too early for that.
