Canadian Anime Mag Seeks Filipina Cover Girl

Japanese anime is huge in the Philippines, and so is its accompanying otaku culture. Even anime cosplay is rapidly entering Filipino mainstream culture.

They’ll even fly a trained fashion photographer to the Philippines to give her a professional photoshoot.
