About AniManga Festival

AniManga Festival is an upcoming pop-culture event featuring Anime and Manga culture. Japanese anime/manga has the biggest following among pop-culture enthusiasts in Bangladesh. Banking on that popularity Qrio is going to hold this event in hopes of a day full of festivities to be enjoyed by the fandom.

In 2017 Qrio the Curious Shop went to Mazecon 4 as a vendor and by doing so they had their very first experience with an anime event. The members of Qrio always had a fascination for anime conventions. After coming back from Chittagong Comic Con 2019, the members made a decision. And that is to hold an anime convention. The plan was to launch the event in 2020 when their group reached 4000 members. However, the Covid-19 pandemic made everything impossible at that time. Finally, after the longest wait, the planned anime convention is going to be held on the 21st of October at Tokyo Square Convention Center.

The festival will promote anime/manga culture through various fun and interesting segments. International pop-culture conventions will inspire the event conduction. There will be performances, competitions, and all-around cosplaying!
