It's this time of year again and I am not talking about Christmas, but in some cases it can also bring joy to the people. I am talking about the Book Fair Leipzig (Leipziger Buchmesse) which is finally back on track, meaning it's back in March instead of April (2023) or its little popup "brother" 2 years ago.

And for me Book Fair always means meeting an insanely huge ammount of Cosplayers. For many years it has been the season opener for the cosplay community, but it lost some of its relevance. It still might be the first big national event for cosplayers, but there are a few smaller yet earlier conventions, e.g. Dedeco in Dresden which can be considered as season openener together with MAG-C in Erfurt.

I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow when thousands of anime, manga and game lovers will dress up as their favorite heros. Especially the glass hall will be my main turf as usual, because the light is just so amazing, if the weather plays along, as it normally does.

I am already very excited and absolutely curious. I have already prepared all of my camera gear and am ready to go for a wild ride of 4 days full of cosplay and otaku related show acts or shopping booths, although those are less relevant for me - too expensive and always the same items that I would not get at any Hard Off yet I could get those for one third of the price.

Let's enjoy the Book Fair Leipzig from March 21st-24th.
EDIT: ...If you can, because the local streetcars and busses are on a strike on Thursday and Friday.
