MANGA MIRAI, a new digital manga platform from NTT DOCOMO and partners, made its North American debut at Anime Expo 2025. The booth attracted thousands of fans with interactive demos, a gacha machine, free giveaways, and photo spots for cosplayers and content creators.
Visitors could try the app on tablets and browse printed manga available on the platform. Designed to bring high-quality, official manga to English-speaking audiences, MANGA MIRAI offers a mobile-friendly reading experience and faster access to new titles.
As digital manga becomes more popular in Japan, MANGA MIRAI aims to bring that same energy to global fans.
After a strong debut at Anime Expo, MANGA MIRAI is bringing its innovative manga experience to Anime NYC. As part of a new cross-cultural publishing initiative, MANGA MIRAI aims to change how manga is shared between Japan and North America.
Visitors to the MANGA MIRAI booth at Anime NYC can expect fan-favorite attractions from Anime Expo, including live demos, a gacha machine, a manga reading corner, photo spots, and exclusive merchandise giveaways.
