Yes, I like yaoi, but I wanted to buy those books at the convention because there are hard to find locally.

I had no choice but to cancel the Trigun morning signing session if I wanted to be on time at the cosplay event.
10km to find toilets to put my make up on and I went once again in the marathon to find the editors booth.
To give you an idea of the convention size, feel free to check its plan and remember that each booth makes at least ten
meters of length.

Once on the editors booth, the first nightmare was to find the cosplay area: the booth was so big it took 5 minutes to find it! oO
We were around 50 cosplayers. It took ages for the organisation to prepare the cosplay event: they called every name ten times,
didn't know where the cosplay event would take place or how, they hadn't called the jury nor given them the basic instructions,
they made us go from one place to another, separated the cosplay groups because they weren't ready for a group tornament...
they stocked us in a hidden gallery, let us wondering what the hell we were doing there...we even doubted the cosplay event would take place!
I don't remember how late they were but it finally began. We didn't even know what we were supposed to do and where!!

All we heard was hysteric fans yelling all around. The convention alley was paralised, full of photographs and fans!
You had to walk along a Black Butler background, take a pose for the photographs, walk towards the jury, pose again and leave.
Quite simple indeed but it was very impressive due to the enthusiast of the dozens of fans! It was a mix of Jaws movie and Holywood awards
atmosphere. o__O
Once the event ended, it was once again a nightmare to find back our stuff. Me and several cosplayers prefered to stay near the booth to wait for the results. We were too tired to walk around the convention ...
That was the occasion for me to meet several great cosplayers:
Bibichan in a Doll Cosplay and Sandy cosplayed in Beast!
30/45 min late, they announced the results! Instead of the ten winners announced, they choose ten winners and three absolute winners!
I had the surprise to be one of those! I won the 3rd place out of 50 cosplayers! ^o^
Here is what I won: Black Butler glasses, hair band, mouse pads, a BB broach..all in limited edition directly from Japan! ^o^
