for me, there was only one reason to be at the Popular BookFest this year: Kaoru. i have always wanted to meet the creator of my favourite local manga artist of Helios Eclipse (and Maid Maiden too) and i did meet and spoke to her for the first time at Comic Fiesta 2011; conveniently arranged, i met her again for her autograph session at the same Gempak booth in the same convention hall.
