LET ME PRESENT YOU THE ARU’S CREW…

Did you already see Aru, the mascot of MANGA EXPO?
Aru is a small animal found in a remote forest of Japan…

One day, all the MANGA EXPO’s team was gone for an expedition through an unknown forest in Japan. While we were picnicking we felt the presence of a small animal with a white fur. Prompted by its curiosity, it approached our meal and picked up one of our tempura (a Japanese Doughnut). Surprised by this weird creature, we proposed it an onigiri (a Japanese rice ball). Little by little, this mysterious animal became more trusting and took part in our group, just the time of our picnic. At the end of the day, it did not want to leave us and made us a sign so that we follow him in its hidden village. In this way, we went in touch with the Aru tribute that you will find through our website.

Now it is time to present us…
