MangaNext Pictorial

MangaNEXT is one of the first conventions focused exclusively on Japanese manga. Unlike its sister convention AnimeNEXT, MangaNEXT is centered around manga/doujinshi. Taking place on October 29 – October 31, 2010 in the Hilton East Brunswick Hotel in East Brunswick, New Jersey, photojournalist Kiera Vallone shows us her work through her pictorial of what took place that weekend. Included in the photographs are not only the attendees but some of the dance/skit performers. If you enjoy seeing how manga has grown in our society and culture, you should make plans to go to MangaNext 2011. Check out the pictures and see what you miss (or relive the momories)!
