Manga, or Japanese comics, have been around for years, but have only recently exploded onto the mainstream scene. Once hard to find, manga is now readily available almost everywhere, and even has its own section in most major bookstores. Whether you're a long time fan of manga, or just want to stop by and see what all the buzz is about, there's something for you in the manga library, located in the Anime Alley. The best part is, our manga library is free to all Gen Con attendees! Stop by any time the library is open (add hours if you can) and check out our extensive catalog, or ask the volunteers for recommendations. Make a selection and hand over your Gen Con badge to the manga librarian, and enjoy your manga in our comfortable and quiet library lounge for as long as you like. Return your manga to retrieve your badge, or to select another manga title. The manga library is a great place to decompress for a few minutes or a few hours at Gen Con, and get your anime fix.
