Benin’s Subarachill convention brings manga and anime fans together

FRANCE 24 heads to Cotonou to meet the young Beninese who create exciting worlds inspired by manga and Japanese pop culture. The Subarachill festival perfectly captures this spirit: a space where Japan meets Benin, where cosplay costumes are made with wax fabric, and where Shinto deities cross paths with those of Vodoun religion.
