【Diary】 After Kansai KEMOKET

*I split my post because it was too long.

*Sorry if it's hard to read because of the machine translation.

I safely returned from Kansai KEMOKET!

▼ Here's my space after setting up

From the moment the venue opened, a number of people visited me with an energy far beyond my expectations. It was a busy but enjoyable time.

As a first-time participant, it was overwhelming, and my mind went completely blank...

To everyone who came to my space, thank you very much!

...However, my only regret is that I underestimated the number of copies to print, and an hour after the venue opened, I ran out of the books I had prepared.

Of course, I was very happy that so many people came and bought my books so quickly!

I had thought I printed enough to have some leftovers.

But not being able to give a chance to those who wanted the book makes me regret it so much...

Honestly, the more time passes since the event ended, the more depressed I feel.

So next time, I’ll be better prepared and make a lot more copies and also arrange for consignment sales.

I’ll manage the printing costs somehow...

I feel like I'm writing a reflection meeting. The event was really fun!

Still, I was so shocked that I had to let it out. Sorry for this.

And while I was awkwardly setting up and distributing, someone gave me a gift!

▼ The plushie is my own

It's a memento of the trip and a treasure. I still have it displayed and look at it often.

I had nothing prepared to give in return... zero social skills, it's really embarrassing. Another point to reflect on.

To the other followers who came to my space (even those I couldn't notice), thank you!

To those who couldn't come to the venue but sent their support, thank you too!

I want to participate again. I want to bring a new book... I'll do my best.

Collection - ASTERISM

Here's a little announcement for the majority of my followers and supporters from outside of Japan.

Thanks to your support, I managed to cover the printing costs! Thank you so much!

Although the book sold out this time, I originally expected to have leftover stock and had made arrangements for consignment sales.

Fortunately, the online store (alicebooks) supports international shipping, so people outside of Japan should have been able to get their hands on it! ...Or so I thought.

I'll do it next time. Please wait a little longer.

I will create more books for future events, so if you want one, please consider using the consignment sales option!
