On April 12, the Japan Festival officially opened at FAHASA Tan Dinh Bookstore, creating a vibrant and colorful cultural space for the community of Japanese culture enthusiasts.
This is not merely a book exhibition, but a comprehensive experiential “meeting point” that harmoniously blends reading culture, art, and modern entertainment.
A highlight of the festival is the unboxing event of the blockbuster manga Dan Da Dan Volume 1. Since its debut in 2021, the work by Yukinobu Tatsu has taken the global scene by storm thanks to its meticulous artwork and a storyline that seamlessly blends action with the supernatural. Its arrival in Vietnam has sparked excitement, connecting fans who appreciate Japan’s unique storytelling artistry.
In addition to Dan Da Dan, the festival also showcases a wide range of notable titles such as Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Monster Deluxe, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, and the Ghibli masterpiece Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Notably, new releases such as Song Menh Coi Hoang Tuyen and Love Bullet are also introduced with special editions that include exclusive gifts, catering to collectors’ interests.
The festival further features vibrant Japanese music performances, rich in color and cultural spirit, right in Ho Chi Minh City.
Moreover, visitors can directly participate in a series of hands-on activities, from card game competitions to model-building workshops—signature elements of Japanese pop culture.
As part of the program, customers can also enjoy shopping for a wide range of products with discounts of up to 50% on various categories, including manga, figures, stationery, and Japan-inspired merchandise.
