Telling Serious Stories with Sci-Fi Manga! Imagining Future Brain Tech

Do you love manga? Are you passionate about sci-fi? Curious about the future of brain technology?

If any of these spark your interest, this event is for you! This will be the US Debut of Neu World, new manga and novel collection featuring futures with brain technology.

We’re bringing together manga and storytelling enthusiasts, creators, and brain technology (neurotechnology) experts to explore the future through the lens of science fiction. This unique gathering is where creativity meets cutting-edge science, offering a rare opportunity to imagine how manga and storytelling—depicting the future possibilities of neuroscience and neurotechnology—could shape our world.

Join us as we dive into thought-provoking sci-fi works, discuss the intersection of manga, storytelling, and science, and explore the future together.

Arrive early for an exclusive poster from Neu World (while supplies last).
