Petit★Asobi vol.10 is being held📢💨
＼
A wide variety of events will be held, including a Stellar-chan photo shoot from the bestselling series 'We Went Extinct for a Reason,' which has sold over 960,000 copies, a stamp rally, panel displays, a carnivorous dinosaur display, and a Tokushima Vortis corner.
Please come along with your friends and family! pic.twitter.com/fdZzinNZJk
'Petit Asobi' Vol.10, which follows the Tokushima event 'Machi Asobi', will be held on February 12th (Monday, public holiday).
— Shingo Yamashiro (@s_yamasiro) February 7, 2024
The venue is Higashishinmachi Shopping Street → Asti Tokushima. The main focus is on dinosaur anime and subculture, which has been building up excitement, but it seems like this trend is going to be cut short.
A gathering of fans is a precious asset. https://t.co/VK2TvRNqPU
Today, we received a message from the Anime Festival Executive Committee Secretariat, and it has been officially decided that there will be no cosplay event at Petit Asobi vol. 10, scheduled to be held next week on Monday, February 12th (national holiday).
— comiess(Comiess)@COMI-ESS81 will be held on Sunday, March 10, 2024! (@comiess) February 6, 2024

Then why did they go to the trouble of putting an author who is unfamiliar with social media in the spotlight and making him explain himself?
— JONJON (@JONJON_ASAP) February 8, 2024
If there is a negotiator or person in charge of negotiations, surely the explanation of the circumstances that you wrote should have been given by that person?
Sorry, I have a bad personality, so even reading that last tear-jerking sentence doesn't resonate with me at all, because dead people never come back https://t.co/HWFNFUrYlV
Sorry for being so cynical, but I think it's a brilliant double-standard apology, where Shogakukan is trying to make NTV proud by not making a big statement, while the editorial department is trying to sue the author for being on his side. I feel that the last sentence is especially aimed at female readers and girls' manga artists who are more likely to empathize.
— Chicken (@cknegg) February 8, 2024
So that statement was officially approved by the higher-ups? If so, this is just a way to let off some steam. The last sentence, which is meant to make people cry, seems like an attempt to exploit people's emotions. It seems like there are actually a lot of people who are touched by this. The feelings of the people on the ground may be genuine, but I no longer have any faith in the organization called Shogakukan.
— Tachi (@m1m2m3m4n5n6) February 8, 2024
The last sentence is a hot topic, but that's irrelevant. The truth is that there was no apology. In the last sentence, all you need to do is say something like 'We will create a third-party committee to investigate and report on the facts.' Don't write a poem after driving someone to suicide. What a despicable bastard https://t.co/SATFd8NETX
— Super Memory Teacher💮ULTIMA VIAGEM (@SuperMnemonic) February 8, 2024
The last sentence from Shogakukan really gives me the chills.
— SHO (Kisaku) (@harukaha) February 8, 2024
Even in the IT industry, this is a phrase often uttered by incompetent idiots who force their subordinates into depressed leave, and it's something they can only say because they're not dead.
An old story. The original Machi★Asobi was held in the winter (Vol.2, Vol.5), but it was cold in winter, the preparation period was short, and so it was changed to two times, in spring and autumn. However, there was talk of wanting to liven up the town of Tokushima, so Petit Asobi was born, aimed mainly at locals and families. For the first event, people involved in the event split up to collect prizes for a raffle held in the shopping district.
