This weekend, we've been at Anime Expo, running a booth in the Exhibit Hall and 2 panels. The photo above shows some of our forum members who stayed around to chat after our Shira Oka panel this evening. We'll post more con footage sometime after we get back to the Bay Area.
It was nice to see a number of familiar faces this weekend, as well as introduce many new people to Shira Oka and ren'ai games in general. Overall, we have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of community interest and enthusiasm toward this project so far. We hope we won't disappoint you all!
I don't have much time to talk today, as this is one of my busy nights. After school, I have various club meetings to attend, followed by piano and violin practice several nights a week... it's an exhausting schedule, but that's how you get to be real good at something, right? lol. Lately I've been trying to decide if it would be more fun to try to learn Pathétique Sonata, or if I should work on perfecting Moonlight Sonata for my next recital. hhm, tough choice.
I guess I can take a moment to chat, though... if Aya can blog about her silly manga obsessions, then I'm sure someone out there would appreciate hearing about my experiences in Shira Oka as an exchange student, right?
So as I'm sure you all know, I'm from America. San Diego, California, to be exact. And while I thought I knew a lot about Japanese culture before I got here, experiencing it firsthand has been an entirely different thing! Sometimes the most subtle things get you, like how they don't have some of the snack foods I enjoyed back home (even the sandwiches at burger joints are different!) or how manners tend to be a bit different.
Aya here. I dont have a lot of time to talk but I just had to come and say a few things, which GRAHH hes drooling on my leg again!!
I’m watching my little siblings today and theyre being such a pain!! I wish Kiku would hurry up and get here already, I’m surrounded!!~
ANYWAY!! Ive been so busy lately! Ive been running around like a crazy woman doing this n that for my parents or Hiroshi or for clubs at school and I’m all obsessed with that new card game and my favorite mangaka just started a new series... remember this next time Kiku calls me lazy! Just cause I don’t have time to do my homework doesnt mean Im lazy!! In fact, Im reading all the time! Who says comic books arent educational?? Im learning lots about the complex social interactions between men and women and robots and important things like that! Way more important than finding the square root of water or whatever...
Oh!!~
Im gonna be sooo awesome in swim club this year, Hiroshis gonna go totally nuts!! Especially when he sees how hot I
look in my swimsuit, Naokos gonna have nothing on me~
What else what else what else what else what else what else~~~
