Not exactly a "Guest from the U.S."...

...considering the conference is being held in Kyoto, where I've lived for ten years, is sponsored in part by the university I work at, and is being held in the museum I kind of helped create. (^_^)

But thanks for the plug! The first half was held today (Saturday) at Kyoto Seika University, and the second half (in which Mr. Narita, Mr. Matsushita, and I will be participating in a panel discussion on manga in the U.S.) will be held at the Kyoto International Manga Museum tomorrow (Sunday). So any otaku who happen to find themselves in Kyoto this weekend should drop by! (Of course, the whole thing will be in Japanese...)

Of course!

Haha of course you're not a guest! Hope you had a great time at the conference. :)
