Anime and Manga Festival 2012!

Posted by Jason on Friday, Feb 3, 2012

We're getting excited for next Saturday's (the 11th) annual Anime and Manga Festival for teens here at the Iowa City Public Library!  This year we'll be showing :

  • Trigun
  • Fairy Tail
  • Shattered Angels

There will be lots of food, including candy sushi (of course).  This year we're super happy to have the help of some of the stylists from local G-Spot Hair Design who will be here to help you craft Anime Hair! So come in cosplay dress!

    "A new tour de force from the bestselling author of Free Food for Millionaires, for readers of The Kite Runner and Cutting for Stone. PACHINKO follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all. Deserted by her lover, Sunja is saved when a young tubercular minister offers to marry and bring her to Japan. So begins a sweeping saga of an exceptional family in exile from its homeland and caught in the indifferent arc of history. Through desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs, its members are bound together by deep roots as they face enduring questions of faith, family, and identity"--
