Shopping Guide
It has been revealed that Voltage Inc. will have an original booth from July 1-4 at Anime Expo 2016 in Los Angeles, as well as at C3 CharaExpo 2016 in Singapore on July 9 and 10.
Anime Expo is the largest anime and manga convention in North America. This year will mark Voltage’s third appearance, and in keeping with the increased size of the ren’ai drama app market (games which take you through dramatic and romantic stories, or otome games), their booth will be twice as large as last year’s. At the booth you can look forward to being greeted by male models dressed based on Voltage’s newest translated app, Era of Samurai: Code of Love (aka Shinsengumi ga Aishita Onna in Japanese)! The booth is also designed to resemble the samurai headquarters.
▲Visitors can dress in samurai happi and take pictures with the models.
▲They’ll also have their largest demo area.
▲Visitors who answer surveys or try out the demo will also receive presents like original posters or fans.
C3 CharaExpo is an event for anime and video game fans in Singapore which first opened last year and is expected to grow. This will be Voltage’s first appearance at an event in Asia. Fans can enjoy demos of their popular titles, as well as opportunities to take photographs with the handsome characters.
Since 2011, the ren’ai drama apps which it has developed for foreign audiences have ranked high on App Store charts in America and Singapore, and its recognition is steadily increasing.
Voltage will continue to deliver exciting and heart-pounding stories through their ren’ai drama apps to fans all over the world.
Exhibit Contents (Demo)
With even more machines to play demos than before, more attendees will be able to try out the ren’ai drama apps! Leading that will be the English version of Japan’s hit game Doubt ~Usotsuki Otoko wa Dare?~, ( Liar! ~Uncover the Truth~), so fans will have a chance to experience part of the story!
