Happy Tanabata 2025 From Around the Anime World, Part II

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring Naruto, Tales of, Laid-Back Camp, NisiOisin, ChaO, Oishinbo, Natsumi Eguchi, Sega, & more!

Japan celebrates Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival, on July 7. One of the common ways to celebrate the Festival is by making a wish to the stars Vega and Altair. (And with a major election in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, that includes the wishes of politicians.) But, what about the wishes from the anime and manga world? Here's a small sampling:

Artdink

Today is Tanabata.🎋
Some railway companies are running "Tanabata trains" that run for a limited time with tanzaku papers hanging inside the train.🚃

A-Train All Aboard! Tourism's secretary Matsushima seems to have wished for the health of employees and their families.😊
Securities employee Amakusa also seems to have made a wish… but is it too greedy?

ChaO
