What To Know

Having a working mangaka as guest of honor, rather than only cosplayers or streamers, gives Belgian and wider European fans a rare direct line to the person actually creating the manga they read.

Io Sakisaka is a real, working Japanese manga artist - bringing her to Brussels as guest of honor is a genuine creator exchange, not just licensed-character merchandising.
