Celebrating Tanabata: Wishes from the Anime and Manga World
Japan's Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival, takes place every year on July 7. Traditionally, people make wishes to the stars Vega and Altair, hoping for their dreams to come true. But what about the wishes from the vibrant worlds of anime and manga? Here's a fun look at some of the wishes shared by characters and creators alike!
Artdink's Limited-Time Tanabata Trains
Some railway companies run special 'Tanabata trains' during this festival, hanging wish papers called tanzaku inside the trains. For example, A-Train's secretary Matsushima wished for the health of employees and their families, while securities employee Amakusa made a wish too—though perhaps a bit ambitiously!
