ACGHK is the Hong Kong Animation, Comics and Game Expo which is an annual exposition held in summer holiday (July ~ August) in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
Except from a wide range of exhibitors like animations and comics, online games, TV games, toys...etc. This year, we have a huge comic market promoting doujinshi culture, allows local creators of doujinshi to express their own creations and designs like comics and animations and comics related products. Of course, cosplay is one of the main elements of ACGHK.
The ticket for ACGHK is only $35 and it allows you to visit the main exposition and the comic market. This year, ACGHK hold from 2015/7/24 to 28, while the comic market only lasted from 7/25 to 26 and there is a hall for cosplayers to stay, dress-up and make-up which is free for a visit. I visited there in 7/26 and 7/28. I bought a ticket in 7/26, but I didn't in 7/28. Why did I go there twice? Why didn't I buy ticket in the second day? The story is like that...
In 7/26, I bought a ticket, visit the main exposition and the comic market. I stayed in the hall of the main exposition for around 4 hours. I lined up in many exhibitors searching for the comics and products I wanted. These are what I bought.
I bought a Free! eyes-mask. Honestly, I'm not a good "sleeper", I need complete dark for sleeping and I discovered that my old eyes-mask was a children side and it is always too tight for my head so I want a new one.
Then, you can see a Tokyo Ghoul file. This is the only Tokyo Ghoul file I can found in the hall. I only found one exhibitor sold Tokyo Ghoul related products and most of them were sold out which was soooooo sad.
This stamp was found in the comic market which was a product created by a local creators of doujinshi.
Overall, not only Tokyo Ghoul, many of the famous comics and animations couldn't be found in the expo which was quite a disadvantage. Maybe due to many of the exhibitors sold online/TV games and toys. However, for people who like games are pretty good. Therefore, for a comics lover, comparing with the main expo, I enjoy the comic market better.
I stayed in the main hall for 4 hours as I mentioned and I visit the comic market for 2 hours and then I left. Remember, cosplay is one of the main elements of ACGHK, I HAD NOT TAKEN ANY PHOTO WITH THE COSPLAYERS !!!! I was very depressed so I went to Exhibition Center again in 7/28 which was the last day. As I mentioned, the hall of cosplayers is free for a visit!!! Therefore, I went there and took a lot of photos, HA HA HA HA! Let's take a look XDXD.
This guy is so funny, he really act like his head can shoot something XD
um...I think his partner is missing, you know, the one with an alarm on his head.
He is the cutest Kaonashi I have ever seen
This costume really WOW my mind, look at those tentacles...wow~
Actually, this guy was pretty shy when I asked for taking a picture with him
but his make-up and overall look was pretty well
and he do looks like Kakashi <3
Finally, my favorite! Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul!
His costume also made me WOW.
He made those centipede like "cell" that Kaneki owns when he goes ballistic.
I really enjoy this comic festival, hope you enjoy my sharing and thank you for your reading ^3^
