Comic Fiesta 2022 returns, promising a bigger and better experience than before

After a two-year hiatus, Comic Fiesta 2022 returns to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Malaysia’s largest and longest-running animation, comics and game convention will be hosting over 65,000 visitors for the 17 – 18 December weekend. Featuring over 500 creative booth spaces with a variety of self-made / fan merchandise for sale, it’s the largest local creative market to date too.

“After two years of the pandemic, we’ve noticed a huge spike in interest in ACG-related events. With Comic Fiesta’s scale and reach, we’ve looked to give our visitors the best way to end the year as ACG fans by introducing a slew of local and international acts, including song artistes, comic artists, cosplayers and even VTubers.”

2022 also marks the 40th anniversary of the Look East Policy, a joint-collaboration with the government of Japan. As such, Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur and Comic Fiesta collaborated to invite Konomi Suzuki (No Game No Life, Re:Zero, Sakurasou Pet no Kanojo and So I’m A Spider, So What?) to perform for fans.

Additionally, Comic Fiesta 2022 has invited VTuber guests, acknowledging its meteoric rise in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hololive EN’s Takanashi Kiara and Emilia Watson, alongside Hololive ID Kobo Kanaeru and Airani Iofifteen, as well as MyHoloTV’s Liliana Vampaia and Virion Kisei will be present.
