Your 2009 Japan Expo Selections

image

Late last week the Japan Expo announced its various official selections, including those for four manga catagories. I'm a little confused as to what these are for: I'm pretty certain the Japan Expo takes place in the summer, but the site takes me to I think maybe a related site for an expo just past. At any rate, these are fun to look at to see what's hitting with French-language audiences.
