 | New York, NY -- Jan. 17th, 2005
Shoujo Arts Society and Yurikon LLC have announced their brand-new,
all-encompassing convention highlighting all manga and anime by, for,
and about women: Onna!
Onna! will take the ideas behind Shoujocon and Yuricon, two separate
conventions focusing on women in anime and manga, and promote them in a
single setting. Onna! will showcase anime and manga of all types:
shoujo, Boys' Love, josei, shounen, and yuri, from the sweetest of
fluff to the darkest of melodrama and everything in between. Onna! will
also offer a Western track of programming, featuring women's comics and
animation from the US and Canada, as well as women who work in these
and other related fields.
Onna! will be open to all ages, and both men and women who are
interested in anime, manga, or comics with a positive female
perspective.
For Shoujo Arts Society and Yurikon LLC, the partnership reflects their
shared interest in women's roles in animation and manga, as well as a
means for both organizations to continue to bring fans of women's manga
and anime a convention based on the East Coast.
Onna! happens Columbus Day weekend, October 8 to 10, 2005, at the
Hilton Gateway in Newark, NJ.
