The creators of the exhibition say that manga, like cinema and literature, covers a wide range of genres, as it can be read by people of all ages.
The guide to the exhibition in manga format was created by the authors of the Bubble Comics publishing house – artist and director of the manga department Marina Privalova and screenwriter Kirill Kutuzov.
