M(^q^): As you might know, there are our introductions in ★Saori Press Vol.85★ but I bet not so many people know about us yet... So today, let us do short introductions ourselves first!!

‡Mafuyu’s Self-Introduction ~Devoting Days to Singing and Bicycling~‡

 

 

My favorite anime are Uta no Prince-sama and Yowamushi Pedal and my favorite game is DYNAMIC CHORD(´▽｀*)

 

My favorite characters are Tokiya Ichinose from Uta no Prince-sama,

Onoda-Kun & Manami-Kun  from Yowamushi Pedal and

 

 

Sakura Hinoyama from DYNAMIC CHORD!

 

 

 

 

My hobbies are going to anime events and collecting goods☆

 

I love collecting goods so much that I even have birth festivals on characters’ birthdays.

　

Birth festivals are literally “to celebrate favorite characters’ birthdays”!

 

I’m recently so into celebrating their birthdays setting up ‘an alter’ and decorating goods such as metal badges or straps and even cakes on it o(´▽｀o)

 

As the picture below shows, I gorgeously celebrated Onoda-Kun’s birthday last year!!!

Also, I often go to a collaboration café, which collaborates with anime and café! Eating sweets or meals and shopping some goods in the place full of anime world view... My God,,, what a blissful moment!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I bet though, some of you haven’t even heard of the collaboration café.

 

So today, I’ll share a little bit about collaboration café and collaboration sweets with you guys!

Like all the pictures shown above, we are able to eat various kinds of foods such as desserts, meals whose motifs are characters and even meals that are actually appeared in anime. (●´ω｀●)

 

Not only does all the food look cute but you might also be able to get the coasters or stickers for your purchase bonus. Plus, some goods are exclusively sold in this café too!

 

Food that we can enjoy only in this café, the unique atmosphere and even goods that we can buy only there...! What’s more? We are able to enjoy talking with friends who like the same anime or manga as you do...!

 

That’s a collaboration café! It’s full of attractions, right?

 

Plus, you will definitely like the interior of the café, which is made on the basis of anime! p*>ω<*)q

See that picture above! You’ll see life-size panels and even staffs cosplaying characters there! (ヾ(o･д･)ﾉ☆ﾟ

 

I bet you’ll feel so happy just being in this café! （≧∀≦）

 

Oops... I shared information about the collaboration café instead of my self-introduction... lol

　

But anyway, I’d be so glad if you guys will know what I like♪⌒ヽ(*ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

 

M: Alright then, now it’s Aoi’s turn!!

 

 

‡Aoi’s Self-Introduction ~ Waiting Impatiently for IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Season 2 ~‡

 

 

I love original anime such as Fafner in the Azure, Code Geass Series and Mawaru-Penguindrum so much that I often enjoy watching them!

 

I’m recently into MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS. I can’t wait for Season 2 as well! Oh by the way, I went to IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS FAIR in GUNDAM CAFE, Tokyo! Even though IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS is over, you can still enjoy GUNDAM’s world in that café. Why don’t you come visit there when you have opportunity to come to Japanφ(c･ω･｡)ψ！

Not only do I like anime but I also like manga or novels. So I sometimes go to autograph sessions or the exhibitions of original images! In April, I actually went to an autograph session of a novelist, Ubukata Tow and in May, I went to the exhibition of original images by a cartoonist, Hagio Moto. The autograph shown in the picture below is the actual one that I got from the novelist, Ubukata Tow, who works on scenarios of Fafner in the Azure or Ghost in the Shell ARISE. Guess what? I could even talk and shake hands with him! I was super happyヾ(｡>ｖ<｡)ﾉﾞ*。

I went to the exhibition of original images by a cartoonist, Hagio Moto, with my mother and both of us just could not but cry being touched by the actual pictures and the impression that we’ve had before from the story coming back to us again. ヾ(｡>﹏<｡)ﾉ

 

Since a novel, ‘Mardock Scramble’ by Ubukata Tow or manga, ‘They were eleven!’ and ’The Heart of Thomas’ have been translated into English, why don’t you read them?! They are so interesting!

A( ´_ゝ`): Yes, that’s for sure! Especially I found out you (Mafuyu) have tons of goods. What are you gonna do with them though, anyhow?

 

M(^q^): I’m making ‘Ita-Bag’ from them!

 

A( ´_ゝ`): Ita-Bag????

 

M(^q^): Alright, I’ll tell you what it is in the next article! I’ll talk about ‘Ita-Bag’ next week♪ Please look forward to it!
