Manga Sci-Fi Days: Pop Culture Comes to Sologne

Created in 2022, Manga Sci-Fi Days is a pop culture, manga, and science fiction convention that has quickly established itself as a must-attend event for geek culture fans in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Located at the Fabrique Normant in Romorantin-Lanthenay, this convention offers a large and modern space to host exhibitors, activities, and an ever-growing audience.

A Multifaceted Convention

Manga Sci-Fi Days covers a wide spectrum of pop and geek culture, bringing together the worlds of manga, anime, comics, science fiction and fantasy cinema, cult TV series, and video games in one place. The convention is designed to satisfy all fan profiles, from seasoned collectors to families looking for discovery.

Specialized Exhibitor Booths

Dozens of specialized exhibitors offer for sale manga, comics, figurines, merchandise, clothing, accessories, art prints, and handmade creations inspired by geek universes. You'll find both professional resellers and independent artists—illustrators, sculptors, jewelry designers—showcasing their original works.

Special Guests and Signings

Each edition hosts special guests from the world of manga, animation, and pop culture: mangakas, illustrators, voice actors, professional cosplayers, and other personalities from the geek scene. Signing sessions and meet-and-greets allow fans to interact directly with their favorite artists.

Cosplay, Workshops, and Activities

The cosplay contest is one of the most anticipated events of the convention. Participants, dressed and made up as characters from manga, anime, video games, or movies, parade before a jury and the audience to win prizes for the best costumes and performances.

Creative Workshops

Creative workshops are offered throughout the weekend: introduction to manga drawing, figurine creation, Japanese calligraphy, origami, and cosplay makeup. These workshops are open to all ages and provide an introduction to artistic techniques related to Japanese and geek culture.

Screenings and Gaming

Anime and science fiction film screenings punctuate the weekend in a dedicated area, while a gaming zone offers sessions of retro and modern video games. Quizzes and contests on manga and pop culture knowledge add a touch of fun competition.

A Family-Friendly and Accessible Event

Manga Sci-Fi Days is designed as a family and intergenerational event. The colorful atmosphere, diverse activities, and variety of universes represented make it an ideal outing for families, groups of friends, and enthusiasts of all ages.
