Our Beginning
It all started from ashes, literally
Manga350 was founded in homage to the tragic arson attack at Kyoto Animation Studios in 2019.
We believe the best way to restore what was lost is through education; to play a part in shaping creative talents of all ages, in various illustration and art forms.
