Del Rey Manga Welcomes Manga-ka Hiro Mashima to Comic-Con

Tuesday July 1, 2008

Del Rey Manga has announced the dates and times for Fairy Tail manga-ka Hiro Mashima's appearances at San Diego Comic-Con 2008. (and if you're wondering, the times don't overlap with Tite Kubo's appearances – phew.) Here's your chances to meet and greet the creator of Rave Master and Fairy Tail:

  • Panel: Del Rey Manga Presents: Hiro Mashima -Saturday, July 26, 2:30 – 3:30 pm, Room 10
    Mashima-sensei will be joined by Del Rey Manga's Associate Publisher Dallas Middaugh and Director of Licensing and Acquisitions, Mutsumi Miyazaki for what should be a fun Q&A session.
  • Autograph Sessions on Friday and Saturday
    Friday, July 25, 2:30 – 3:30 pm, at Del Rey Manga's booth, #1128
    Saturday, July 26, 4:30 – 6:30 pm at Official Autographing Area 1
Both signings will be ticketed events, and limited tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at the Comic Cellar booth (#806) to any purchaser of Fairy Tail Volumes 1, 2 or 3. Mashima-sensei will be signing an exclusive shikishi (autograph) board created just for his San Diego Comic-Con visit.

Catch up with this shonen manga sensation by checking out my reviews of Fairy Tail Volume 1 and Fairy Tail Volume 2, and look out for Fairy Tail Volume 3, which is on sale now.
