"Yotsuba&!" Author Designs Wonder Festival Mascots

Broadly speaking, Wonder Festival is to figures what Comiket is to doujinshi. Its mascots, Wanda-chan and Reset-chan, have been illustrated by Keinojou Mizutama (original character designer on MAOYU and Brigadoon). This year, Mizutama has been battling health problems, so, with best wishes for a speedy recovery from all involved, Kiyohiko Azuma, author of manga Yotsuba&! and Azumanga Daioh, was invited to illustrate the pair for the summer event, taking place July 27th at Makuhari Messe, in Chiba, Japan.
