My latest trip to Cebu was last-minute, but it sure did lead me to another great event, which is Cebu Litfest 2023 at the Ayala Malls Central Bloc at the heart of Cebu IT Park. I got a lot of cosplay photos on Facebook, plus a video featuring my good friends Gary and Lloyd who covered the 6200 Geek Con and Otakufest last year.
Now for some photos that I’m sharing in this post: There was this one special booth where Sharreh dressed up in traditional attire. Happy to know that hours after taking this photo, her merch are sold out!
Of course I’m in for VTuber merch—I got my budol moment hours after recording footage from the event, and I brought home with me some good merch from Jumpy Bun and Xero. Guess which NijiEN prints I purchased from the artists!
I was present for one day only (Day 1), so I made it a point to capture as much cosplay photos as I can. Thankfully, the photos went well enough—and there are rare cosplays such as Nagumo from Arifureta:
The good ol’ Genshin Impact featuring a rare Bonanus cosplay (rightmost)…
…and perhaps the only Quilldren on that day, a rare Ike Eveland cosplay.
I did not return back to Manila empty-handed, and it was a great experience to fly again to the Queen City of the South. I hope to do it again someday, for sure.
