AnimagiC 2025

Thank You for an Unforgettable Weekend!

I had the absolute joy of being part of the Artist Alley in the Vario Hall at Rosengarten, and I want to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by my table. Whether you were a longtime fan or just discovering my work for the first time, meeting you truly made my weekend!

It was heartwarming (and a little surreal) to see how many of you already knew and loved my manga series “Carrier of the Mask.” So many visitors picked up the latest volume, and hearing your feedback and excitement meant the world to me.

One of my absolute highlights was meeting a reader who bought “The Sentinel”, my light novel prequel to Carrier of the Mask, and returned the very next day just to get it signed because she enjoyed reading it in the evening. That kind of love and enthusiasm fuels me more than words can say.

Another unforgettable moment was the Artist Dinner, where I got to meet and connect with some truly amazing fellow creators. A special shout-out to:

• Erlance, creator of Reyn: Angel of Freedom

• Dragon Whisper, creator of Golden Dracontia

• Radacs, creator of Radius

• Byaku, creator of Project Nihilum

We shared stories, laughs, and a passion for the art we create. I left feeling inspired and grateful to be part of such a vibrant, talented community. If you ever get the chance to attend an artist dinner at a con - do it. It’s worth it!

To everyone who visited AnimagiC: I hope you had an amazing time, and I truly hope to see you again soon! You can catch me next at:

• Kazkon – A free convention in Karlsruhe

• Manga Day – I’ll be doing an autograph session at the T3 Store in Karlsruhe

• KAIDAN Con – A spooky and stylish convention in Mainz dedicated to horror and Japanese culture

Thank you again for all your support, kind words, and energy. AnimagiC 2025 will stay in my heart for a long time. Let’s keep the magic going - until the next con!

With love, Vinny
