MANIFEST 09 REPORT

OKAY I'M FINALLY WRITING THIS
I'm still recuperating from those three days orz Caught a cold alongside my co-sellers during the weekend, came back to uni with overdue essays and cramming for my mid-semester exams

nonetheless, it was an amazing weekend! They changed the location for Manifest this year, so we were unsure how to get there lol orz

Was travelling with chan and kyu throughout the weekend, the limited weekend public transport made the tram so packed with otakus LOLLL some random aggro guy came on with bags of vegetable shoppings, and he ended up dropping a tomato D: chan gave it to some Spain cosplayer lololol

Me, sha and lucy managed to set-up our tables alright :) I sold out most of my Hetalia badges on Friday OTL omggg totally underestimated the power of the hetalia fandom D: There was a really nice Prussia cosplayer and an Ookami cosplayer that bought alot of my stuff >/////< thank you!!!

I managed so sell out some other stuff like my Ciel bookmarks, dn badges and prints AHAHA (girls are actually buying my half nakey mukuro print lololol )

Again, the Gintama fandom is still tiny in Melbourne akjsdhajks I might hit someone argh
Basically the people who DID know gintama were all asian (international students!?) XD
I did meet these two Hijigin fans tho They gave me their emails, hopefully we can fangirl over Gintama together now XD I made this Sugita Tomokazu badge for myself and lylia LOLL wore it on my lanyard throughout the weekend yayyy


awwwwwwww I got to pat them *//////*

Met so many wonderful people last year that I got to see again! Saw yumi, miyu, chibi, rea, neitzarr, bree and little sweetmarshmallow (awww she's adorable as Tsuna!! gave me a delicious chocolate cupcake too <3<3) They all cosplayed amazingly <3

Also met PZ, lily, ellie and rainoa for the first time finally kyahh >////< rainoa was standing in front of me for a while until she introduced herself LOLL you're so cute!!! >3
LOLLL PZ is so damn hilarious XD and her cosplays are all very wonderful~~ especially loved her and her friend's Alice in Wonderland cosplays :)

btw, saw WAYYYYYYY too many Ciel cosplayers! got a bit repetitive for me, even though their cosplays were purdy ;__;


Vocaloid PZ and Yumi~~ With Chan jumping in ahaha XD


Young Phoenix! Love the achoo sign XD


LOCKONNNNNNNNNNNN <3<3 I made Haro badges, should've given one to her orz


Moe anime heads LOL freaky but I just think it's a really cool idea~

Also saw many K-on! cosplayers! They were all Mio though ahhh and lots&lots of male crossdressers... masa said it's common in japan tho? hm

Had a guestbook on my table... LOLL why did I get so many comments about YAOI LOLLLLL people wrote nice things, and the people who came and chatted with us were also friendly and funny, really cheered me up through all the stress of Manifest :)


Sha, Lucy, Chan and Kyu gave me some of their artworks! thank you guys >3<
/points to the set of Starry Sky bookmarks at the bottom
a-aren't they adorable People didn't recognize them and thought they were originals ahahaha (we didn't dare to tell them it was from an otome game XD)

We starved on Friday.. the only food available were from the Maid Cafe, or chicken curry on rice XD So we stocked up on Friday night and had so much junk on the next few days~~ We never starved again :)

After Manifest, it was sad to see everything packed up :( I went to dinner with Lucy, Sha, Chan, Yumi & Rea etc. Let's just say I'm off egg for a while............. XDDDD Was so tired in the car ride ;___; dreading about school too argh

Overall Manifest was a blast! And I only spent 17$ throughout Manifest (on a Gintama surprise toy which I sadly got Sakamoto, and a Ciel half naked figurine LOLL) I'm quite proud of myself at saving XD Next year our table will cosplay for sure! There are also so many things to improve on! Now I have enough money to spend at Sydney Animania~ can't waittttt *A*

(I sound really drunk writing this entry LOL there's just so much to write and I'm tired sorry ;___;)

pre-mani

GWAHHHHHH

went to showgrounds with kyu and chan today to set-up our tables

AND I WAS TOLD ME&SHA DIDN'T HAVE A TABLE D:

showed the coordinator my payments receipts... and hours later, thankfully someone pulled out and we swapped tables with lily, so we ended up getting 2 tables in a nice, closed space lololol *A*

what a relief.............

I didn't finish all the prints I wanted to draw tho :/ Made all my badges and gosh idk what's going on anymore

manifest starts tomorrow officially, let's hope for the best OTL

there's a mistake with the eye colours... but when I tried to change it, it looked worse so I'll just leave it like this XD

fufufu

will someone just tell me to stop spending money ;w;
my friend Yu and I have planned to start writing down what we purchase and see who can spend less LOLLL ;____; I wasted all my printing money oh gosh /brick'd

Glad that Momogumi+Senki is licensed in English!! I was planning to buy vol 5 in raw, but now that it's licensed I guess I can just (not so patiently) wait for it to come out in English XD

Hakuouki manga also came out in the Sylph mag... though it's bimonthly, it's still better than nothing since I don't have a ps2 to play the game *A*

That Kurofune Zero was expensiiiiiiveeee... bought the whole thing just for a chapter of Fujiko's Kanaria >___>;; absolutely adore Suzuken as Rockwell in this one <3<3

EHHHH KAZUAKI'S MANGA IS TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEYYYY I couldn't find scans for vol2 so had to buy it T^T
