The JapAniManga Night is much smaller than Polymanga but the main j-pop fair in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. It takes place in a former 19th century army building in Winthertur, near Zürich. Everyone there speaks both Swiss-German, English and...Japanese! The event lasts 48 hours non-stop. The organizers also offer 3 types of accomodation (in the rooms of the building, in the local nuclear shelter or, you can also lay in sleeping bag on the floor in the building). With only about 500-600 visitors, the atmosphere is really cosy and a bit like a big family gathering. Quite a different experience from the Polymanga and other huge fairs!

This is the largest manga fair in the French-speaking area of Swizterland and has been existing for 5 years. It will take place April 11-13, 2009. If you are in Swizterland at this time of the year, don't miss it! You can see how Swiss manga fans celebrate their passion!
