Those manuscripts sound interesting. I like “behind the scenes/this is how it was made” stuff like that.
I wonder if it will only be in Japan I live in the US does anybody know?
As we have reported previously, the only venues announced so far have been Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. No plans for anything outside those three major cities (let alone outside the country) have been made public at this time.
