Post Anime NYC with Kinokuniya Bookstore, New York


Anime NYC was the first anime convention to be held at Jacob Javits Convention Center since the last New York Anime Festival more than 5 years ago. Now the people behind the event is already selling tickets for 2018. Since Anime NYC had the support of major companies in the American anime manga industry ranging from publishers to retailers, I wanted to hear from them. Why? Because their participation in the FIRST solo convention in more than 5 years of this kind in a prominent convention building is evident that the companies care enough about the growth of the anime and manga community. They are willing to make an appearance NOW, instead of waiting years down the line to participate at Anime NYC.
