Anime Expo 2016 starts on July 1st and it promises to be our biggest year ever. This is also the first year FAKKU is an official sponsor of the convention. We are bringing three guests from Japan: NaPaTa, saitom and Shigeto Koyama. We have five panels throughout the weekend where we will be announcing new books and licenses. We'll have a huge walk-in industry booth in the Exhibit Hall with all of our books and projects on display. We’ll be hosting a 21+ party with performances by Revolution Boi, Hentai Dude, and meishi smile (subscribers get a free drink on us). And there's even more we'll be announcing between now and the convention, a lot more.
