Perhaps a bit too srsbssmode to say but, it is quite amazing what the power of a community can do. Now if the rest of this planet was doing more like this for the joy, cheer and wellness. [/srsbssmode]

20 hours, holy hell. How does one survive such a trip.

I know I haven't said anything, but I do want to say congratulations to you guys for managing to rake in the money needed to bring Mizuki Hitoshi over to the US to attend Anime Boston.

I'm personally watching this thread to see how everything plays out since I'm personally wonder how Hitoshi himself will see his trip to the US. And how it'll be represented in the comics.

My personal prediction for Hitoshi's AB comics: Key members of the MotK crew will likely be personified at the Taoist crew of 10D. The rally and desire to bring donations to get him here, the aquarium, the bondage, and that's only the beginning. It simply reeks of Taoist conspriacy!

(to be honest, though, it could go in many directions it's too early to tell or even perdict, but will be amusing non the less)

Kilga you've told Hitoshi you like big breasts right? Or else you might end up as one of the flatter members :V

Finally caught up with the main group after a morning at PAX and hasty touring of AB. More went all-out in cosplay than I expected! (as for me the only prop I have is a Minecraft pickaxe :V)

Karaoke is next on the agenda it seems. What they have planned to sing is beyond me :V

Still no rain. Plenty of sun here.

If it somehow comes down to many of us being XD characters and I get a choice, I'd choose Miko. I expect that if (IF) I get anyone, though, it'll be Orange, Yuugi, or Nue.

I am feeling regret because I could not make it to Anime Boston this year.
Please send my regards to Hitoshi-san if you can.

By the way, does he speak English well enough?

I've worn Yuugi in his presence, and Orange will be tomorrow. I've also worn Aya and Yamame, but those characters are taken.

Nue may be because I'll be four 2hus in 48 hours.

We have a translator.

I will say his English is better than my Japanese.

 :V "Hello. Nice to meet you."

 :] "Yeah, there are Pixiv tags for everything... though my personal favorite? Oppamadoka."

Just seeing that message on the panel was so awesome; wonder how surprised he was.

Also, seeing him bow down to Suwako was just perfect; manga scenes based on real-life moments becoming reality again. XD

And because I keep hammering my own head... has he received my gift? I mean... I just want to know if he has it yet.
Thanks guys; and by the looks of it, you're really enjoying yourselves. Hitoshi looks happy; so that's what counts! ^^

Hitoshii sensei is a great guy
I love him when he talks~
I gave my sketch to him and I was too nervous to say thing correctly
so I somehow just walk away out of embarrassment XD
but anyway I explain what happen in his pixiv and added him as my friend
I am looking forward to his next comic :3
I bet it's gonna be so much fun watch all of us turning into the green dudes lol

So you were the one with the huge-titted Sanae picture, huh? That was some good work. So jealous over here.

Tamashii Kanjou, what was your gift again?

Yes, we're completely useless without him.

In the white package was...

A small blue plush.
A big penguin plush.
A red slip with something inside.
A card.

I think that should do. Ring any bells? ^^

That's gotta be rough for an entire weekend.  Y'all better be super nice to Sola (aka buy him things [like meals if he refuses presents])

Is that Maullar tying someone up?

Since I didn't answer this earlier, that's actually Angelica from #conmeido in the video  :V

You just scored +rep at SanaeWife, you cheeky boy.

Sounds like this is a great success! Good work, everyone.  Also, it's really cool to see the events leading up to this in the comic itself.

Tamashii Kanjou: Gift-giving is going to be a Sunday thing, near as I can tell.

Vic: He's been a fucking champ this whole weekend, including soloing the interpretation for the panel. I want to cover his dinner at Eagle's Deli, if nothing else.

Helecopter: He'll be heading home with two penguin plushies, since the Thursday crew picked one up for him at the aquarium.

I expect an interview before he leaves Kilgapaiman. Ask Hitoshi some interesting stuff. Make us BunBunMaru proud.

There was a Mizuki-san-speific Q&A session at the panel. We have permission to upload it to YouTube, so those that wanted to hear questions answered, there's that.

I'm happy cuz everyone's having fun and this plan worked out well, but I'm sad that I can't be there to enjoy it with you guys. Have lots of alcohol for me!

I just finished reading through the entire Kogasa-san series thanks to this thread. I can see why Hitoshi become so popular, and I hope he's having a great time with you all!
