RomeoxRomeo and A Bloody Kiss Tonight can be found digitally on JManga.

Robert Newman from JManga introduced Tateno Makoto-sensei. He also pointed out that publishing company, Shinshokan was also in the audience. Shinshokan released several of the manga by Maeda-sensei and Tateno-sensei and is the main representing company for bringing the two creators to the US via JManga.

Newman noted that Tateno-sensei was fond of drinking and usually drinks to match the title she is working on: if it’s romantic than it’s red wine, if it’s something more violent, she drinks beer and whiskey. *audience laughs*

A raffle was announced to be held after both panels with the mangaka. The floor opened for questions with Felipe Smith asking the first question.

Tateno-sensei was than asked to draw. It was projected on the screen. She used pencil first followed by her own pens, than finally coloring in with sharpies. It was wonderful to see Taki appear on the screen. His expression is cool and and calm. With just a few simple strokes, his strong personality is revealed.
