METROCON THIS WEEKEND
7-29-2026hey gang! writing you now from one of the two days in between travel from tekko to metro, to bring you an update on those two cons! tekko was such a delight, we did wonderfully and would love to be back next year!
our first tekko table!
up next is metrocon in tampa this weekend! we're right up front at table 201 in the artist alley, on an endcap! like last con, we'll be participating in a HUNDRED LINE STAMP RALLY, and this time it's a BIG ONE!
the prizes are stacked, including a light-up clicky cap keychain and a whopping SEVEN character buttons, all themed on the hundred line GIGO gamer collab! there's also going to be a hundred line meetup at 2pm friday at riverwalk area spot 4! i'll be there to hand out stamp cards, so if you're a fan of hundred line, don't miss out! see you this weekend!
the final button prizes, kako and ima, by me and darwin rose!
SHIPPING RESUMED 1 TEKKO SOON
7-17-2026hey gang, i'm happy to announce that i'm all moved into my new home!! that means shipping has resumed in the online shop, and we've got some new merch to celebrate!
our revamped TOP TROPES RIBBONS have finally arrived, and they're soooo fancy now! there's three different colorways to choose from, and the medal on the top is now a removable button so you can replace it with your oshi's button and better incorporate it into your ita bag!! all bottlecap pins have been restocked, too, so have fun decorating them with your favorite tropes! along with the ribbons, we've also got some new TOXIC YAOI and TOXIC YURI stickers that glow in the dark! check them all out in our shop!
next, i have some con announcements to share! starting next weekend, we're going to be at FOUR events in a row, starting with tekko in pittsburgh july 24th-26th, then metrocon in tampa july 31-august 2nd, then a pop-up event called "FUJO FRIDAY" hosted by goblin market in orlando on august 7th, and finally animate orlando's night market august 21st-23rd! also newly added to our con line-up is anime weekend atlanta, which we will be attending for the first time this november 19th-22nd! below is the map for tekko, we'll be at table 138 in the artist alley!
how to find rotten girl gang in tekko's artist alley!
at both tekko and metrocon we will be part of a HUNDRED LINE STAMP RALLY! the one at tekko is a ribbon rally-- make a purchase at each of the four participating artists' tables to receive a stamp, and redeem a completed card at rotten girl gang's table for a set of matching ribbons! assemble the whole special defense unit!!
details for the metrocon rally, along with a map of how to find me will be posted soon! keep an eye on our social media, as i might not have much time to update the blog regularly in between all these events! hope to see you out there, fujo friends!!
AFO PHOTO REPORT 1 SHIPPING DELAY
6-24-2026hey gang!! at anime festival orlando, we put together our coolest display yet! with a whole booth space, we were able to have TWO tables AND a clothing rack! check out our photo report below!
the whole booth!
we had SO much space to show off all the doujins, our original merch, and all our homemade upcycled shirts! i think it'll be a great example of all the gang has to offer at future events! i'm hoping to start applying for more vendor hall spaces soon (especially 18+ ones) so we can keep bringing the doujins as part of our wares (most artist alleys don't allow reselling, so we can't bring them to every con)!
by the way, we sold a lot of books during this con, so i wanted to remind everyone that we accept doujin donations if you want to help us out on our mission to bring the experience of japanese secondhand doujin shops to american conventions! send your old books to our PO box and get compensated up to $20 of shipping cost!
now for some shop news! shipping will be delayed from now until mid-to-late JULY while ringo-chan moves to her new home!!! rotten girl gang will resume operations next month in a MUCH bigger space (still in the orlando area), with plenty of room to grow! if all goes smoothly, i should be all done moving things before our next con, tekko, and update you with news about it then! wish me luck!

SAKURA CON THIS WEEKEND
4-1-2026let me just preface this update with: this is NOT an april fool's joke, lol. we are ACTUALLY attending our very first SAKURA-CON this weekend, as hard as that is for us to believe!! we'll be at table 2241 in the artist alley, which is on the 4th floor of the arch building! (in a separate building from the exhibitor hall). this is a big one, so once again we're participating in TWO fandom-specific stamp rallies!!
first up is the hundred line hanahaki rally we're hosting! earn 4 stamps (two from the AA and two from the exhibitor hall) to win a set of 5 photocards of lovesick hundred line characters suffering from the deadly flower disease!!
preview of the prizes! ours is the yugamu one on the left, and gaku was drawn by fellow yugakuling black!
along with the hundred line stamp rally, we're debuting the newest volume of yugaku nation collaborative zine this con! also, ringo-chan will be attending the hundred line meetup on saturday at 1pm and eitaku birthday event that evening in shion cosplay!
our second stamp rally is for the summer hikaru died! four artists in the artist alley teamed up to bring you the coolest little sliding calendar standee!! see it in action on instagram! complete the rally quick and pick one up while supplies last!
as you can see from the rally maps, our booth (2241) is up at the top left corner of the room, against the wall! it should be pretty easy to find us, so be sure to stop by if you'll be at sakura-con!!
