Made possible by Crunchyroll: experience Toshi Aoi live in Kassel for the very first time! From 5–7 Dec 2025, meet the illustrator of Wistoria: Wand and Sword up close—with live drawing, behind-the-scenes insights into his style, and signing sessions. One-off and only at Anime Festival Kassel!
We’re welcoming Toshi Aoi, the illustrator of “Wistoria: Wand and Sword”, live in Kassel. Aoi made his serial debut in 2020; the series continues in the Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine and grew its audience further with the anime adaptation. At the festival, he’ll demonstrate how layout, composition and motion shape Wistoria’s distinctive visual style.
Thanks to Crunchyroll, you can experience Toshi Aoi up close across all three days. Season 1 of “Wistoria: Wand and Sword” is available on Crunchyroll—and we’re stoking the anticipation for Season 2 in 2026.
