This Monday, December 23, Manga Barcelona has been recognized by the Ministry of Culture as one of the cultural entities of reference of 2024. The event has been awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts, a prestigious award given to important personalities and entities in the cultural field. This great recognition reinforces Manga Barcelona as the reference event of manga, anime and Japanese culture in Spain.
In 1995, the doors of the Saló del Manga opened for the first time at Estació de França. Twenty-nine editions later, and now at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, Manga Barcelona will celebrate its thirty editions demonstrating, as Meritxell Puig, director of the event, has assured: “that manga and anime have ceased to be a niche interest to be part of the cultural mainstream”. It has been evident for years that manga is one of the forms of comic with the most appeal for public of all ages, or that anime is an option like any other within the audiovisual panorama, and all this is evident in the success of the success that usually accompanies Manga Barcelona. At this point, with tickets sold out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, everything seems to guarantee a massive anniversary celebration, seasoned with the joy and enthusiasm that usually characterizes the event, thanks to an always dedicated audience.
The Japan Association for the World Expo 2025, the Expo 2025 in Osaka, Kansai, Japan, will be present at 30 Manga Barcelona that will be held from December 5 to 8, 2024 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. Therefore, MYAKU-MYAKU, the amazing mascot of the expo, will be visiting Spain for the first time.
