When I see Kodansha House return, it feels like a reminder that manga culture is now deeply rooted in America. I read Wotakoi years ago and it made me laugh because I saw myself in those characters. Knowing that Fujita will come to New York makes me curious about how he feels looking back after ten years of success. I also admire how it started online. Many young artists share their work on the internet now, and Fujita is proof that it can become something big.

I think the timing of Kodansha House is smart. October is when a lot of fans already go to New York Comic Con, so this is like an extra stop for people in town. If I could plan the day, I would visit Kodansha House before going to the convention. The location in Manhattan is easy to reach, and the schedule from 12 to 9 PM works for many people.

The speed friending activity caught my attention. Sometimes fans meet only online, but this is a chance to make connections in real life. Sharing the same passion for manga can make friendships last. I think this is why Kodansha House is more than just a shop. It is about giving people space to gather.
