Otaku Nation having a summer swap meet on June 21

Otaku Nation localed at 2900 E. Broadway Blvd, Suite 134 is hosting a summer swap meet on June 21 (summer soltice) from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I’ve attended one of these swap meets in the past, and it’s full of Japanese themed items and products, more than I would have imagined in Tucson. The weather will be hot, hot, hot but the shopping will be fun.
