Tateo Retsu, best known for her work as the mangaka for Full Metal Panic!, sent us this art piece for her American fans along with a special holiday greeting:
"A lot has happened this year, did everybody have a memorable year?
For me, the first time coming to the United States and meeting all the otakus [anime fans] was the most memorable.
Next time I would love to visit a convention not as a guest, but as a participant! I want to take my time to enjoy the whole event, look around, and take lots of pictures!!!
Just like for me this year, I wish fun happenings to everyone. Happy Holidays!!!~Tateo Retsu"
