The pop culture, manga, and video game convention of the Moulins urban area
Fana Manga is the unmissable geek culture convention in the Allier region, organized annually at the Yzeurespace by the Fans-Corps association and the town of Yzeure. Since 2009, this friendly and family-friendly event has brought together fans of manga, video games, cosplay, retro gaming, and Japanese culture. On the program: creator stands, cosplay contests, blind tests, karaoke, concerts, origami and Japanese calligraphy workshops, arcade machines, and video game tournaments. With its 18th edition in 2026, Fana Manga has established itself as the oldest geek convention in the department.
Created in 2009 by the Fans-Corps association in partnership with the Yzeure town hall, Fana Manga was born from the desire to offer an event dedicated to Japanese and geek culture in the Moulins urban area. Over the years, the convention has grown to become an essential event for all fans of manga, anime, video games, and pop culture in the Allier department and beyond.
Each edition of Fana Manga offers a dense and eclectic program that delights young and old alike. Visitors can browse around thirty stands run by amateur and professional creators, specialized shops, artisans, and associations, offering an exceptional showcase to discover or purchase original illustrations, merchandise, figurines, and handcrafted items.
Interactive activities are at the heart of the experience: cosplay contests with a stage parade, musical blind tests on anime and video game theme songs, karaoke, drawing contests, origami and Japanese calligraphy workshops, cultural quizzes, and video game tournaments on retro arcade machines and modern consoles.
Fana Manga welcomes distinguished guests from the world of voice acting, manga illustration, and geek creation each year. Voice actors, French voices of iconic anime and video game characters, meet the public for autograph sessions and exclusive encounters. The program also includes live concerts, musical performances, and stage shows that liven up the two days of the convention.
The immersive atmosphere of Fana Manga extends to the catering with the Maid Café, a friendly space offering bubble tea and Japanese pastries, and the Otaku Burger food truck. These themed catering areas allow visitors to take a gourmet break while remaining immersed in the convention's universe.
Fana Manga stands out for its family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The event is open to all ages and welcomes both curious newcomers and seasoned otakus.
