Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2013: Cosplay, figures, a 12-meter illustration & other highlights

For 20 years, Dengeki Bunko has given us entertaining, suspenseful and funny stories from their light novels like OreImo, the “A Certain” series, Sword Art Online, Hataraku Maou Sama!, Ro-Kyu-Bu and more. Now, the celebrated light novel publisher celebrated their 20th anniversary with a bang yesterday, October 6, 2013 with the Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival 2013.

The event was held in Akihabara UDX and boy did Dengeki Bunko give the fans a treat. One of the highlights of the event was certainly the new announcements for the highly anticipated fighting game, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax which pits their most popular characters against each other.
