#manking

I'm drawing Anna again after SO many years, I can’t believe! I was OBSESSED with Shaman King when I was... What? 11~13 yo? It's kinda nostalgic. I remember that was SO HARD and SO EXPENSIVE to have anything original (especially Shaman King's stuff, that was already an old anime/manga at time) and a friend of mine - who traveled to Japan to visit her family - gave me two SK tankobons and many CDs of the OST.  The second cosplay I did in my whole life was Anna and... OMG, the first time ever that I used it in a convection, the Brazilian singer of the opening was there, signing autographs for anyone who came near the stage. I went there just with a piece of paper (that my friend gave to me from her notebook) - the singer recognized me and said all excited: "Wow, how nice! An Anna's cosplayer, she's my favorite character, did you know?" and I LITERALLY started to cry, because I was SO HAPPY. She hugged me, signed my piece of paper--- and I was so happy that I forgot to ask for a photo.
