Manga Mavericks Books to Host Sen, Creator of 'Horon' and 'The Closed Country', at Anime NYC 2026

Manga Mavericks Books has announced that it will host Sen, creator of Horon and The Closed Country, at Anime NYC 2026. The convention will take place from August 20-23, 2026 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.

According to Anime News Network, Manga Mavericks Books will prepare a special program for the artist during the convention. Sen's autograph event and panel details have not yet been announced, but readers of Horon and The Closed Country have welcomed this guest appearance with great interest. These two independent manga stand out as works that allow Sen to directly connect with international readers.

Anime NYC is one of the most important anime and manga conventions on the East Coast of the United States. The event, which welcomes thousands of attendees every year, also serves as an important showcase for manga publishers and independent comic artists. Manga Mavericks Books giving Sen a place at this event is a good sign that the independent manga world is becoming more visible on the convention calendar.

With Horon and The Closed Country, Sen has an art and narrative style that steps outside mainstream templates. In particular, blending personal themes with social issues has made the artist a name to follow in the independent manga scene. This meeting at Anime NYC will also be an unmissable opportunity for readers to hear about the works directly from their creator.

Manga Mavericks Books is expected to announce the detailed program for the guest appearance and Sen's panel schedule in the coming weeks. As the convention approaches, the release of new information will also shape the schedules of independent manga readers.
