What's more fun than reading manga? Going to an anime, manga or comics convention! Anime and comics conventions are non-stop fun for manga fans. You get to meet your favorite artists, animators and actors, preview the latest movies, DVDs and graphic novels, stock up on toys and comics, check out the cosplay characters and dojinshi (fan-created comics and art) and best of all, hang out with your fellow manga maniacs. Here are some dates of what and where will the Animecons be.
