MANGA in New York

Manga is on the rise in the US and Sony’s new immersive experience is coming to New York to celebrate.

In collaboration with six groups of Japanese artists to create six original MANGA titles based on the following themes drawn from Sony’s Purpose & Values: “Pioneer,” “Dreams,” “Diversity,” “Creativity,” “Curiosity,” and “Sincerity”, Ginza Sony Park’s free exhibit will stimulate all senses, fusing tech and art in a never-before-seen way. At MANGA in New York, visitors can enjoy the world of manga as it jumps out of the pages and gains a unique, sci-fi feel.

Highlights:

– A unique experience found nowhere else that will elevate and honor manga
– A live drawing performance by world-famous illustrator and MANGA artist Katsuya Terada
– Animation workshops for children led by director Masanobu Hiraoka
– Specially-designed drinks from an exclusive vending machine – bringing a really big part of Japanese culture to the US!

The event will include Sony’s proprietary technologies: the Tensor Valve™, an olfactive control technology to enable the sensory experience, and Active Slate equipped with Haptics to transform the floors into a sci-fi spectacle.

Enjoy this uniquely Sony, one-of-a-kind exhibition that fuses technology and MANGA to deliver an experience found nowhere else.
