Akiba Angels's first publication, "Neko-Mimi Project Vol.1" features Japanese and American artists, collaborate to produce one Doujinshi with the same theme.

The theme "Neko-Mimi" (Cat Eared Character) was picked since it is an extremely popular theme in Japanese Doujinshi and also is the theme that is gaining popularity in the USA.

This project was mainly designed for the cross-cultural purpose, to bring creators and audiences from both countries together. It will be interesting to see how each creator will come up with their own unique style to express the theme. and how the cultural background would reflect.

Here we are introducing the creators who are participating this project. 3 from Japan and 3 from USA. Each creator has their own unique style, and use the medium they chose to express their work, such as Illustration, Manga and Graphics Novel.
