About
Want to gush over the newest volume of Blue Lock but don’t have the right crew? Itching to dish over WIND BREAKER? Find your people at our Speed Friending event.
Over multiple “friending” rounds, participants will have short conversations with each person in the opposite group. After each round, participants fill out a scorecard indicating if they’d like to see their matches again. After the event concludes, the host will take the scorecards and identify matches based on mutual interest. Contact info will be shared — and you can take it from there!
Whether it’s a five-minute spark or the start of something longer, this is your chance to connect with the manga community.
Please refrain from wearing or bringing any unofficial / unlicensed merchandise to Kodansha House.
