A new edition of the Canarias Manga Festival got under way today in Puerto del Rosario. The programme, aimed at fans of manga, anime, video games and K-pop, runs from 23 to 25 October, thanks to the Cabildo de Fuerteventura and Puerto del Rosario Town Council.<\/p>\n
The festival, held at the Plaza de la Paz in the majorera capital, boasts star guests such as Santiago Segura and Florentino Fern\u00e1ndez, who will be joined by a wide range of artists, content creators and professionals linked to the world of entertainment.<\/p>\n
The Councillor for New Technologies, Carmen Alonso, invited everyone to take part in an event \u201cthat goes far beyond entertainment. Disciplines such as digital art, manga storytelling or video game technology aren’t just hobbies; they’re windows onto the world and powerful tools of expression\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Puerto del Rosario, David de Vera, thanked the Cabildo for its collaboration \u201cin bringing manga and anime culture back to the streets of the majorera capital, something young people in our municipality have been calling for\u201d.<\/p>\n
They were joined by the Councillor for Finance and Economic Development, Nuria Cabrera, the Councillor for Youth, Jenifer P\u00e9rez, Councillor David de Le\u00f3n, and Sergio Falc\u00f3n, representing the organisers.<\/p>\n
Guests include leading voice actors such as Luis Posada, Claudio Serrano and Laura Pastor. Also taking part are animators of the calibre of Carlos Biern, one of the great figures of Spanish animation and former chairman of DIBOOS, and Elena Velasco, who has worked on projects including Dr. Stone<\/em>, Klaus<\/em>, Central Park<\/em> and Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>.<\/p>\n The line-up is rounded off by Guinxu, Mikecrack, Invictor, Timba VK, Mondongo, Masterchen F, as well as other artists, illustrators, mangaka, singers and creators linked to the manga universe and Asian culture. One of the highlights is the presence of renowned South Korean K-pop choreographer Jay Kim, a leading figure in the field worldwide. The festival also makes room for local talent, including filmmaker Adri\u00e1n Tejero and dancer Joel Reyes.<\/p>\n The Canarias Manga Festival will feature a dedicated gaming area, exhibitions, a crafts zone, a cosplay contest and catwalk, K-pop masterclasses and many other activities, all of which can be found at https:\/\/canariasmangafestival.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The programme runs from 23 to 25 October, featuring illustrators, content creators, voice actors, a cosplay contest and catwalk, K-pop and much more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[288,58],"tags":[190,82],"class_list":["post-36886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cabildo-en","category-cabildo","tag-fuerteventura-en","tag-fuerteventura"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/manga.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36890,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36886\/revisions\/36890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informacionlocal.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
