    Pic #3 looks like some 60's advertisement photograph. Kudoz! Looked funny...

    The person with pink hat at #15 and #18, I think that is Remilia Scarlet hat from Touhou. So the question is, that person is a "he" or a "she"...? :D

    I love how these events are so celebratory in Japan (as I see it). Nothing much really seems to happen at book launches (for the public) like this in the US or UK, at least not with that happy vibe I see in Japanese launches. Very unique.

    Is this book available in e-book format, anybody knows?
