Message from Professor Fujita here ▼
Apparently it's been 10 years since I drew Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku. What kind of otaku were you 10 years ago, and what are you obsessed with now? To express my gratitude to all the otaku who have supported me since then, I drew many members of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku for the first time in a long time! I hope to see you again at Matsuya Ginza. Fujita
The exhibition will look back on the memorable scenes, filled with laughter and heart-pounding moments, featuring the otaku couple Momose Narumi and Nifuji Hirotaka and other unique characters, through original color illustrations and video. To commemorate the opening of the exhibition, Fujita-sensei will also be exhibiting a newly drawn manga for "Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku." In addition, the venue will be selling original exhibition goods and pamphlets. Please come and enjoy the exhibition!
