KCP Summer Anime and Manga Students Visit Kameari
Last July, KCP Summer Anime and Manga students visited Kameari, a town famous for the longest-running manga series Kochikame. There were lots of interesting scenes and activities to experience. Everyone had a great time.

Next, we visited the famous Iseya Sweet Shop, met Mr. Sato, its president, and learned the story of his company. | KCP Flickr
While trying Iseya’s sweets, Mr. Sato told us how he uses manga characters for his company’s products and how the popular series have enhanced his business and the local community. | KCP Flickr
