Chibi Japan Marseilles is, as the name indicates, a smaller and Southern version of the now famous Japan Expo, which takes place in Paris later in the year. It is also more focused on mangas, animes and video-games, whereas Japan Expo also gives a fair share of its space to "traditional" Japan. Chibi Japan Marseilles will take place February 20-22, 2009. If you are in Southern France by then, don't hesitate to stop by.
