>>3548341Most people say "Never meet the people you admire." Because usually you end up being disappointed by the standard you set for that person you admire when you find out they're nothing like you thought they were.
I didn't experience that with Okayado.
The thing is, he's a really nice dude who just wants to make his fans happy. I think on some level, ironically, that it sometimes might keep him from forming particularly great stories involving monstergirls, but he really is cool, and had it not been for the fact that he not only recognized he wasn't able to sign for everyone who came, but actively decided to do something about that himself by taking extra time to come back and do more signings for the people who missed out, I would've been one of those people who went home without a sign and sketch.
He was a very joyful, meek kind of author, and I enjoyed meeting him, despite how brief it was. When I thanked him and told him I hoped he enjoyed ihis time in Los Angeles he said in english "I hope you're happy (with the signing) too."
Cool dude.
