The entry price was higher than listed in the guidebook (even the 2011 edition) and I paid another 200 to see the special exhibition, 105 illustrators exhibiting on the theme of Japan and shoujo - young girls, mostly in an innocent vein, but one image definitely not suitable for children, others very sexualised and one in the broken-back pose needed to show both arse and chest. There didn't seem to be any warnings or age restrictions, which bothered me a bit. That said, most of the work was excellent, some of it was outstanding, and I would have bought the book of the exhibition except it was too big and heavy.
There was also an exhibit on Jean Giraud, aka Mobius. I didn't know he'd passed away in May.
