The most eagerly awaited event of the year for lovers of Japanese culture is finally here! We are opening the doors of Fira Barcelona Gran Vía once again to offer four days full of premieres, special guests, and surprises. Following record-breaking editions, Manga Barcelona has become much more than an event; it has established itself as an unforgettable experience that connects art, culture, and the passion of its audience.  \nWe are particularly enthusiastic about this year's celebration thanks to the generosity of Kamome Shirahama. The author of Atelier of Witch Hat has created a poster for Manga Barcelona, it is the second time in the event’s history to have a poster illustrated by a mangaka. This milestone further reaffirms the union between Japanese mastery and Catalan essence.  \nThe exceptional talent of this year's guests is unparalleled. In addition to the big names already announced, such as the incomparable Gou Tanabe, more renowned Japanese authors will be present, including Tsutomu Takahashi. He is a versatile and chameleonic artist known for pushing his characters and his readers to their limits. He is visiting us to present his latest titles: Jumbo Max and Guitar Shop Rosie. Akemi Takada, the great anime figure known for designing unforgettable characters such as Lamu, Creamy Mami, and Madoka, will also attend the event this year. Notable among the Japanese guests is Takashi Matsuyama, who will be present at 31 Manga Barcelona. His resourcefulness and creativity led him to become an assistant to the great Akira Toriyama throughout his professional career. He is largely responsible for the backgrounds that appear in the master's works and is a reference point for all those who started out in the art of manga with Dragon Ball.  \nThis year, fans of the legendary series Cowboy Bebop will enjoy an unparalleled lineup of stars that has never been seen anywhere else. Shinichiro Watanabe, the director of Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Lazarus, will be there, along with Yoko Kanno, the SEATBELTS, and Mai Yamane. The latter are responsible for the soundtrack of this cult anime, and although more than 25 years have passed since its premiere, they have never performed outside of Japan. This special occasion will also include meetings with fans and joint interviews discussing the relationship between animation and music.  \nThe Main Stage at Manga Barcelona will also feature rising star AiNA THE END, one of Japan's most prominent artists, known for performing the opening theme for the popular anime Dandadan. The iconic Kumamon, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture, will also be there. Kumamon is coming directly from Japan this year to participate in meet-and-greets and activities and to dance on stage with our beloved Onachan.  \nOnce again, the Manga Auditorium will be filled with anime fans, who will be delighted by our program full of surprises and new offerings. One highlight is a tribute to Geki x Cine, a production company that brings spectacular Japanese plays to the big screen. This year, Geki x Cine will be joined by a small exhibition and its screenwriter, Kazuki Nakashima. Nakashima has worked not only in theater but also asthe screenwriter of award-winning films at Manga Barcelona, such as Promare, as well as legendary Japanese series such as Kamen Rider. In collaboration with 3Cat, we will have three special screenings coinciding with three premieres on the TV channel. We will reveal the titles soon, but for now, we can announce that on Monday, December 8, at 1:30 p.m., there will be many Pikachus running around the Manga Auditorium. Oriol Estrada, the content advisor, comments: “We are thrilled that 3Cat has chosen Manga Barcelona to showcase some of its new series.
