This isn’t really news, so much as a reminder, that manga artist Moyoco Anno, known for Sugar Run Rune and Happy Mania, will be a guest of honor at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this upcoming weekend.
Moyoco Anno is attending TCAF in support of her debuting graphic novel, Insufficient Direction, an autobiographical manga based on her marriage to Evangelion creator and director Hideaki Anno, that you can read here on Crunchyroll Manga. Other Anno titles available to read now include Buffalo 5 Girls, and The Diary of Ochibi.
