Relive Christie's three-year adventure at the Yatta Anime Convention with this 15th-anniversary edition of Svetlana Chmakova's debut series: Dramacon. All three volumes are compacted into one pocket-sized edition. 

Vol 1 Summary: When amateur writer Christie settles in the artist alley of her first-ever anime convention, she sees it as an opportunity to promote the manga she had started with her artist boyfriend. But when she unexpectedly falls for a mysterious cosplayer, things become complicated. What do you do when you love someone who is going miles away from you in just a couple of days?! Web-comic vet Svetlana Chmakova gives us a funny, romantic, behind-the-scenes look at an anime convention-where sometimes even two is a crowd!

Vol 2 Summary: It's Christie's second year at the Lakeside Anime Convention and the drama picks up right where it left off in Dramacon volume one! With her new partner-in-crime, a.k.a. artiste extraordinaire Bethany, she is promoting her latest comic. Matt is also back, but to Christie's shock, he now has a girlfriend!

Vol 3 summary: College students Christie and Bethany are back to pimp their comic at the LAC, this time to a delightfully large crowd of loyal fans who read it online. Bethany's glowing with pride since her mascot art won the contest and is now on every t-shirt and program at the con. They are the stars this year!

Born and raised in Russia, she moved to Canada at sixteen years old to finish high school and trick Sheridan College into giving her a Classical Animation diploma.

    Accidentally becoming a full-time artist and writer after that, Svetlana has drawn and written for animation, how-to-draw books, toy designs, and most of all, comics and manga. Her full-length manga/comics series include the fan-favorite romantic comedy "Dramacon", the award-winning urban fantasy "Nightschool: The Weirn Books", as well as the manga adaptation of the New York Times bestselling "Witch & Wizard" by James Patterson. Svetlana's most recent work is a middle grade comedy graphic novel called "Awkward", which has been honored as one of the Top 10 Graphic Novels of 2015 by School Library Journal.

    Svetlana is currently being published/endured by Yen Press, and makes her home somewhere between Toronto, Canada and California. Her hobbies include eating, sleeping, buying far more books than she has shelf space, and riding the subway in the middle of the day, when it's half-empty, half-full of Very Interesting People.

5.0 out of 5 stars Collects three volumes of a great series
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2020
'Dramacon: 15th Anniversary Omnibus Edition' by Svetlana Chmakova collects all three volumes of the Dramacon series in one huge manga edition.

The series takes place over 3 years at an anime convention. In the first volume, Christie is a writer who is new to conventions. Her manga is drawn by her boyfriend who is kind of a jerk. A mysterious stranger who always wears sunglasses. Over the course of three cons, they form a relationship that has it's ups and downs.

I just loved this story and these characters. There is drama and humor and really loveable characters. The art kept drawing me in, and I loved the con setting that felt pretty authentic to me. I gulped down all 600+ pages and loved every minute of it.

I received a review copy of this manga from Tokyopop, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedy-drama with a cosplay and convention twist!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2021

Dramacon is a manga I've been interested in reading since I've always been fascinated by conventions such as Comic Con, and the world of cosplay. This was a unique comedy-drama with a cosplay twist!

Christie and her boyfriend are debuting a manga at her first anime convention. While there, she meets a mysterious cosplayer named Matt and ends up developing feelings for him. Soon, she finds herself swept up in a whirlwind of drama. Will she be able to figure out what she wants?
