Publisher Comments:

When Christie settles in the Artist Alley of her first ever Anime convention, she only sees it as an opportunity to promote the comic she had started with her boyfriend. But conventions are never what you expect and soon the whirlwind of events sweeps Christie off her feet and changes her life. Who is the mysterious cosplayer that won't even take off his sunglasses indoors? Where does her boyfriend get the nerve to act the way he does? And the hardest question of all...What do you do when you fall in love with a guy who is going to be miles away from you in just a couple of days?

Christie's first anime convention is not going well. Her driver was insane, her roomies are aggressive and now her boyfriend keeps flirting with skimpily-clad cosplayers! When she finally falls apart and ends up throwing herself at a guy who seems nicer than her good-for-nothing guy, the drama in Dramacon really heats up.

I don't normally like rom-coms, but this was just hilarious! Every convention horror story and cliche rolled into one makes for a fun read. The characters are great and very realistic. The art in this manga is solid, if not exceptional.
