Cosplay
Japan, as 2nd exporter of cultural goods in the world, has found his audience in France where the interest in Manga culture in Europe is the strongest. In 2008, 12.5 millions mangas were sold, making of France the first external Manga market for Japan.
As part of the phenomenon, "cosplay", for costume players, in competition, on web forums or dedicated events like Japan Expo, find a place to live their life of manga figure, dressed as their favorite hero or in a costume freely inspired from a manga.
Thus dressed, they choose to reflect part of their own personality or live a life far from the daily reality.
