Just returned from a Shojo Manga conference in Singapore, invited with the generous support of the Japan Foundation. The National University of Singapore's Department of Japanese Studies hosted it, and I presented on Cambodian Women's comics. Cheers to Lim Cheng Tju (part of the Liquid City crew) for getting this thing moving!

I was asked upon my return if this was a 'cosplay' thing. LOL.
