SUMMARY:Kodansha House L.A. 2026 - Los Angeles\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Kodansha House L.A. arrives in Little Tokyo for 11 days from July 2 to 12\, 2026\, bringing the Japanese manga publisher's immersive pop-up experience to Los Angeles for the first time. Running alongside Anime Expo weekend (July 3-6 at the LA Convention Center)\, this is a free public event with AX badge holders receiving special benefits and priority access.\n\nInside Kodansha House you will find a manga gallery\, cafe\, reading lounge\, and library dedicated to Kodansha's most beloved titles. The confirmed guest lineup alone makes this a must-attend moment for manga fans: Blue Lock creators Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura are appearing\, as well as Witch Hat Atelier (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) mangaka Kamome Shirahama. These are the artists behind two of the most-followed manga series currently airing in anime -- Blue Lock Season 2 and Witch Hat Atelier are both Spring 2026 hits. Meeting the people who created them\, in person\, in Los Angeles\, is genuinely rare.\n\nThe Kodansha House model debuted in New York City in 2024 and generated significant fan community response -- not as a typical convention booth\, but as a relaxed space where you can read\, sit with the art\, and occasionally find yourself in the same room as the people who made it. It is a different register from the convention floor energy at AX. The Little Tokyo location is intentional -- the neighborhood already functions as a cultural anchor for the LA anime and manga community. Exact address in Little Tokyo to be confirmed via Kodansha social channels as the event approaches.\n\nFree public entry. No tickets required -- follow Kodansha USA (@kodanshausa) for the confirmed address and any reservation announcements. AX badge holders should check the official Kodansha House page for premium access details. Hours: open during museum hours approximately 11am-5pm or 10am-6pm based on the venue.
