Anime Expo and Kodansha, the publisher behind iconic works like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Attack on Titan, just announced that they will be partnering for this year's popular Kodansha House immersive pop-up fan event! This will be the West Coast debut of this event and a chance for manga fans to come together and connect in an interactive space.

Some highlights to look forward to will be guest appearances by the creators of two of the biggest manga hits of the year: Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura, the creative team behind the global hit soccer manga Blue Lock, and Kamome Shirahama, author and artist of the magical fantasy manga Witch Hat Atelier, recently adapted into a highly anticipated anime series. These three guests will also be holding panels and signing events at Anime Expo. More details on how to attend these appearances will be announced.

Kodansha House will be held in LA's Little Tokyo neighborhood from July 2–12, while Anime Expo runs concurrently from July 2–5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Hope to see you there!
