Rains fail to deter Chiikawa fans and big spenders after roundabout cancellation

Despite rainy weather, a popular Japanese manga exhibition, Chiikawa, attracted significant crowds and shoppers in Hong Kong on Sunday. The event, held at K11 Musea on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, saw the organizer cancel a planned roundabout attraction due to safety concerns. While some fans were disappointed by the cancellation of the rides, others appreciated the alternative, which allowed them to take photos with characters on a stationary roundabout. The exhibition also proved to be a success for merchandise sales, with some attendees spending thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
