"Mangaka and fans, face-to-face"

"The mangaka were happy – also about the opportunity to talk directly to their fans and receive such great feedback. That’s a big advantage of the MCC: the proximity between the authors and the readers as well as face-to-face dialogue.“ -- Sarah Müller, Marketing Manager, Altraverse GmbH
"Outstanding event for the manga community with sales from day one"

„Leipzig Book Fair is of great importance to us because our field of business, manga, is very well represented here. We look forward to being here every year. The fair has established itself as the outstanding event in the manga community for years and cannot be compared with other fairs. The fair is also characterised by the fact that it is open to cosplayers from Thursday. This also has a positive impact on business compared to other trade fairs." -- Sadik Musubahu, Event Planning Director, Z-Zero GmbH
"Valuable feedback"

"Generally, there is plenty of interest and we can connect with our specific target group here. Personally, I am impressed by how much effort the cosplayers put into their costumes and how respectfully everyone treats each other. MCC seems to be a safe space for the community." -- Sandra Türpe, Entertainment Procurement, Impericon – IC Music and Apparel
"Excellent location with direct access to target group"

"We have direct access to our target group. It's not just fans of horror, science-fiction and fantasy who can easily find us here. We also made new contacts in anime and manga as we are of course featuring them here. Financially, the MCC has also been very positive." -- Philipp Jerulank, Head of Marketing, Ulisses
