Kazuya Minekura, mangaka of Gensoumaden Saiyuuki and Saiyuuki series, announced about “Saiyuuki Collaboration Cafe” at Anime Plaza Machida, on her twitter account last week. Saiyuuki is a manga series by Kazuya Minekura which was serialized in G-Fantasy from 1997 to 2002. It spawned multiple manga sequels, anime adaptations, video games and other media.

This Saiyuuki story is loosely based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West with a lot of modification. Manga itselves comprises five separate series, Saiyuuki – Saiyuuki Gaiden – Saiyuuki Reload – Saiyuuki Reload Blast – Saiyuuki Ibun. Anime adaptation of this series was started with two episodes of OVA and continued with TV series titled Gensoumaden Saiyuuki – Saiyuuki Reload – Saiyuuki Reload Gunlock. Beside TV series, there are also “Saiyuuki: Requiem” for movie and “Saiyuuki Burial” for last OVA.

~I just visited Anipla Machida the place where Saiyuuki Cafe will be held starting from tomorrow, and so busy with paper here and there (but thanks to the neigbors there they didn’t get angry) I also signed some panels there. Meanwhile, I forgot to bring my art supplies so I was drawing shikishi for panels by using just a pencil~

~Beside that, I signed coaster for novelty on the cafe, for further information just wait for official announcement from Anipla Machida twitter. I also made 8 designs for lunch mat, thanks!~
