A manga club event featuring Takopi.
We're hosting a manga club focused on a genre we call "psychological manga." Our first session covers Takopi.
Through group discussion on prepared topics, we aim to deepen our understanding of what Takopi's "original sin" really is.
Panel with Kazuo Maekawa, artist of Ace Attorney manga.

For this special night, we are inviting the San Gabriel Valley Symphony to Manga Lounge for a live jazz performance. While you listen, you'll be free to read from Manga Lounge's collection of over 7,500 manga!
