The Manga Afternoon team, alongside Morocco’s representatives at the World Cosplay Summit(WCS), had the distinguished honor of being invited, on the 23th of July, to dinner at the private residence of His Excellency Mr. Masahiro Nakata, Ambassador of Japan, days before their departure to Japan to represent Morocco at the WORLD COSPLAY SUMMIT 2026 !

This unprecedented invitation marks the first time a Japanese ambassador has welcomed Moroccan cosplayers in such an official and prestigious setting.

It represents a significant new milestone for Manga Afternoon, whose team has worked tirelessly since 2010 to secure national and international recognition for Moroccan cosplayers and to promote Morocco’s vibrant cosplay community.

Many thanks to the Japanese ambassy in morocco for their support to the moroccan cosplayers, to the Ministry of Youth and communication for making this possible.
