Comics from Africa have been an unknown world to Japan until now. This exhibition presents African comic culture with a focus on francophone African countries, from the perspectives of history and works, artists, fan culture, publishing forms, and more. This exhibition showcases magazines, books, and reproductions of original comic artwork by more than 15 African artists, and will explore the characteristics and charm of African manga through photos of fan events.
Furthermore, visitors will get to know the “now” of African comics, which have started moving under the influence of Bande Dessinée (Francophone comics), American comics, and Japanese manga.
