After months of suspense, the Japan Expo Awards have finally announced their winners, humorously led by the duo Marcus/Claude Yoshizawa, entertainers and masters of ceremony.

The ceremony was livened up by the intervention of the Tsunagari Taiko Center, who offered the audience a mini-concert of Japanese drums, as well as Stéphane Ferrandez, Rakugo storyteller. The event was also the occasion to reveal the new application Comicom.me to send messages in the speech balloons of your favorite Manga.
