This Sunday, Kinokuniya Bookstore in New York City will host Anime Day, an all day event for anime, manga and cosplayers. Our friends from the New York Anime Festival and Japan Society will be on hand to talk about NYAF and KRAZY! I’ll be there too with Ningin’s new anime authority Michael Latorre! Keep an eye out for us and say hello!

This weekend also marks the opening of KRAZY! — The Delirious World of Anime, Manga and Video at Japan Society in New York City.
