What we’re about
Formerly Manchester Comics Society, as someone whose adolescence consisted of delving into the worlds of graphical print and animation, originating from the Western and Eastern continents, I wish to expand this group to include manga and anime related social activities!
Some current idea's are to visit comic conventions, such as the long established annual Comic Con Manchester, and closely related anime cons within the city, with plans already underway to head to the Anime and Gaming Con at Sudgen Sports Centre. We'll be taking advantage of the odd occasion when a beloved bookstore hosts a new comic/manga series launch and author's Q&A talk. Catching the latest of anything still decent in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and cherry picking the good from the ugly in downtown DC. Brunches at Maid Cafe's and strolling around nerdy shops to pick up some much needed fan merch. Having nerdy discourse and debate at a gaming bar!
Even though it has experienced a massive surge in the past two decades, the culture revolving around cartoons is still a pretty niche one, so if anybody has any suggestions of what we could do as graphic novel enthusiasts and beyond, please let us know and it could soon feature as a future event!
If anyone is keen on organising events within a shared co-hosting role, please feel free to drop us a message about becoming an Events Organiser, we would love to have you on board!
Please be aware, photography will be taken at our events. If you wish to not be part of this, please let an organiser know.
Let's bring back some of those emo days (yes, it was just a phase, and no, we're not getting too old to party to it yet!) with the Elder Emo club night, followed very conveniently with a K-pop Party: Midnight in Seoul clubbing event joint with the Manchester Metalheads MeetUp group! //_^

- 10-11pm: Post/pre-drinks at nearby Bunny Jackson's dive bar with Manchester Metalheads MeetUp group.

"Manchester KPOP PARTY - Midnight in Seoul with DJ EMKAY | Saturday 20th September
KPOP PARTY is back Manchester!
We welcome all kpop fans to a new edition of KPOP PARTY UK - embracing Seoul!
"Midnight in Seoul" evokes an enchanting imagery of the South Korean capital. As the clock strikes midnight, the bustling metropolis transitions into a city of twinkling lights where vibrant streets of districts like Hongdae and Gangnam, known for their lively nightlife shine bright. Neon signs illuminate the night, casting colorful reflections on the Han River. DJ Emkay with her music will make you experience an authentic night, like no other, inspired in her hometown of Seoul."
