News – August

Hi!! Nunumi here! So many things happened this summer I want to share with you.

Last week-end was Otakuthon in Montreal, the biggest anime convention in East Canada. I had the pleasure of having been invited to this great event and it was my first time as guest artist and panelist. I met so many great people and the experience was priceless.

I was so scared at first of giving a 60 minutes panel, but everyone was so kind and understanding, it became a very enriching experience.

Also, Sky Rover is in nomination for a Joe Shuster Award, in the Gene Day (self-publisher) category!!! Joe Shuster is one of the biggest Canadian awards for comics. The winner will be announced, right before I leave for Japan in September.

Talking about Japan, this is what I am preparing for big time at the moment. Many things to plan! I am trying to figure out some meetings, and also what to attend at the Japan Media Arts Festival which will be held from the 16th to the 28th of September.

I will be in Japan for a month, and hope to officially start my next comic project there too.
