On 13 February 2018, JCC (Japan Creative Centre) hosted an exclusive talk session on Japanese manga and anime. Mr Lim Cheng Tju, a comic reviewer, and Ms Mishelle Lim, a curator at Singapore Philatelic Museum, shared very interesting presentations relating to manga and anime in Singapore. Mr Lim gave a presentation of the history of manga and anime consumption in Singapore, and how consumers interact and respond with their favourite works.

Ms Lim gave audiences a behind-the-scenes perspective on the Anime X Stamps Exhibition at the Singapore Philatelic Museum that she researched and curated. She also shared personal stories of some of the exhibits, and even showed one of the earliest examples of anime created in Japan.

Many audience members also stayed back to ask Mr Lim and Ms Lim many questions about their research.
