According to what my friend says, the 2nd day was like in Japan Expo in Paris. There were so many people there that it was not easy to go forward to another venue. I am impressed such a lot of people are interested in Japanese culture every time I join those events. They know the latest Japanese Anime, musician and culture sometime more than Japanese who live in abroad. Thanks to the Internet technology, we can get any information as soon as they are released. Maybe even Cosplay, they are not already part of Japanese culture but world’s culture.

Japan Expo Sud
1st day Cosplayers at Japan Expo Sud 2013
First of all, those photos are taken by my friend NOT me! but I uploaded them to enjoy with you :)!
French Cosplayers seems so harder than Japanese Cosplayers because they are required an acting skill. I don’t see the types of Cosplay in Japan.
On Friday, there was not so many people. It was easy to take some shops, but it was not easy to find many cosplayers at venue. All of following Cosplayers my friend took photos are wonderful !!
The scenes of Japan Expo Sud 2013
My friend has gone to Japan Expo Sud 2013 in Marseilles, France. This is the 2nd largest Manga, Anime and Cosplay events in France. The first day on Friday there was not so many people there because it was on weekeday, I guess. Here are some scenes at Japan Expo Sud 2013. The huge difference between Paris Manga and Japan Expo Sud is she found a lot of ‘figure’ shops.
The history of Japan Expo Sud 2013. This year is the 5th anniversary. So many famous Japanese manga authors came to the events.
I found a lot of Japanese cultural booth. e.g. Ai ki do, Ju-do, Te-kon-do, Samurai-sword and Hina-matsuri. One thing she was so impressed was there is a booth for the earthquake and Tsunami 2011. As one Japanese, we appreciate that they still remember what it happened there.
Anime, manga, cosplay shops!!
I will upload some cosplayers photo soon.
