Chibi Chibi Con is an Evergreen club and event that focuses on Japanese animation and manga and the culture that surrounds it. Our mission is to invite students and community members who are active and fans of anime, manga, and cosplay to come help us plan, run, and attend an anime convention run on the Evergreen campus! (Or over the internet while COVID sticks around!) We also have opportunities to table with us at other conventions and collaborate with industry professionals and other convention enthusiasts.
