The Guests of honor of the festival were of course assailed by crowds of people: Kazuki AKANE, director, story boarder and illustrator, and Satoshi URUSHIHARA, animator, character designer and Manga artist. Both signed gorgeous bookplates for their fans, massing in the signing session room. Everyday the artists were delighted to meet their French fans who had the unique opportunity to witness Kazuki AKANE’s talents at work during an exceptional public masterclass. Both guests also gave conferences.
