Comics, cosplay and otaku: the passion for Manga comes back to Alicante

Manga lovers are in their millions. Gone are the days when they were considered freaks. Thanks, among other things, to social networks and streaming platforms, this universe has been gaining unexpected followers for years (surely you have an otaku neighbour and you don’t know it). All in all, the next Alicante Manga Fair is expected to be, once again, a huge event. On the 20th and 21st of April, Fira Alacant will be full of cosplayers competing for the most realistic and extravagant outfit.

There will also be music, illustrators, merchandising of the most viral series and comics, calligraphy and origami workshops and video games. As guest artists, the organisers have unveiled Mion and Hance as singers, and Xatram and Mashi as professional cosplayers, among others. Two intense days to celebrate manga, Asian art and culture and the hobbies that add up.
