Posted on May 25, 2006 by Brigid Alverson

From Juné Manga comes the news that Yellow manga-ka Makoto Tateno will be a guest at this year’s Otakon in Baltimore on August 4-6. In addition to signing autographs and teaching a drawing lesson, Tateno will have dinner with one lucky prizewinner. She will also be appearing at Borders bookstores in the Los Angeles area and perhaps on the East Coast as well.
