Kehari Kusabi, a beloved figure in the manga community, is set to celebrate a decade of her artistic journey with a major event titled 'Starry Trail' at the Manga Exhibition. This event will take place from June 5 to June 22, 2025, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, followed by a tour to the Osaka Manga Exhibition from June 27 to July 13, 2025.
