Paul Fisher, a library development officer in the London borough of Bexley, tells us that a group of otaku – the Bexley Manga Network – are planning a festival of anime and manga for February, with plans for manga workshops, a ninja school, cosplay (of course!), screenings of classic anime at the nearby Cineworld and more. Paul tells me that the young folks in the manga network are organising most of the events themselves, with support from him and colleagues. They haven’t got their website up yet, but they have started a Facebook group you can join for news in the meantime. More when we hear it.
