The combat doll, just home from the mech range in Taiwa, has never quite gotten used to this ritual. She sputters laughs, then kisses her daughter's forehead tenderly.
"Not a tank, honey," she shakes her head. "But good all the same."
Went to the Ishinomori Mangattan Museum for Jet’s birthday this year and it was A LOT OF FUN. Got to talk with other cyborg fans, drew pictures, played football, and watched movies in the library.
Also...I finally got a Jet Hot Dog. One of the guests I spoke to (and befriended) bought me a Jet Dog out of nowhere, which is funny because I’ve been to the IMM a few times and everytime I went they were all sold out. And on all the days I ever got a hot dog—and I got it right on Jet’s birthday.
Also the Jet hamburger (or hamborger, thanks @chiauve!) was very scrumptious—it’s a thick breakfast sausage patty. It was so popular they were sold out by midafternoon.
*They stuck these manga Jet’s all over the museum I thought was a nice touch!*
I wore my motorcycle boots for the first time to the event, but by the time the day was done I got blisters on my heels. No matter though, I had a blast.
Also one other thing that I learned about the museum. When I told some of the staff that my trip included going to Sakaiminato, I was stunned to learn they all not only have been there, they’re also fans of GeGeGe no Kitaro! They were actually advertising an event there for Shigeru Mizuki’s birthday that takes place in Sakaiminato this year.
(Coulda gone to that but I was only in Japan until the 11th.)
