Hyper Japan Manchester

We like Hyper Japan in London. So we thought we’d try Hyper Japan Manchester. The journey was different, in a car rather than on a “more exciting than we needed train”. But no less exciting as it turned out, thanks to the antics of Apple Maps navigation which insisted on taking us off the motorway so that we could enjoy some A-road action and a trip through Oldham that we didn’t expect. Then, when we needed it most in the middle of Manchester, the navigation had a complete meltdown spouting random instructions to head off down unknown streets and make sudden U-turns. I’ve no idea what caused it, but fortunately I kept my nerve and found the car park next to the venue.

You could say that the event was “more intimate” than the one in London. You could also say it was smaller. But it was no less interesting and enjoyable. Although we didn’t find anyone selling bubble tea. We got great stands, amazing musicianship and good food. Plus fantastic costumes. I’ve dropped some pictures down below.
