Online Travel Vietnam: An exhibition featuring characters of Japanese comic books and cartoons is being held in Hanoi before moving to Hue and Ho Chi Minh City.
Titled "The Japanese cartoon kingdom", the exhibition gathers movies, photos, statues and books about Japanese iconic manga characters including Hello Kitty and Doreamon, Pokemon, Ultraman and Astro Boy.
