Also at the @kyotomm is the Maeda coffee shop, which has an all-star array of sketches by #manga creators on the walls. Fun playing “guess the manga creator” here. let’s see how many we can identify…

I see Tetsuya Chiba (Ashita no Joe), Yoshiyuki Tomino and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Mobile Suit Gundam) and maybe Go Nagai (Devilman) ?

On this wall… Keiko Takemiya (To Terra), Monkey Punch (Lupin III), Kenshi Hirokane (Kosaku Shima), Naoki Urasawa (20th Century Boys), Takao Saito (Golgo 13) and…?

On these back walls - Kaoru Mori (A Bride’s Story), Yuki Suetsugu (Chihayafuru), Jiro Taniguchi (The Walking Man), Macoto Takahashi (shojo manga illustrator)

In this corner, George Morikawa (Hajime no Ippo), Mari Okazaki (Thermae Romae), Daisuke Igarashi (Children of the Sea), cooking/eating manga creator Shigeru Tsuchiyamal

In the front corner, Yusuke Murata (One-Punch Man), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), Katsuya Terada (Monkey King) + Blacksad on taiko drawn by Juanjo Guarnido

This batch in front was a little harder! Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf & Cub), Pen Ward (Adventure Time), Est Em (Tableau Numero 20), Natasha Allegri (Bee & Puppycat)
