Kodansha House NY pairs free manga space with Saka Mikami events
Kodansha's October 9–18 Hudson Yards pop-up is free to enter, with a Saka Mikami NYCC panel and separate creator appearances; several evening events need advance registration.
Kodansha has published a fuller schedule for its October New York manga events, including a New York Comic Con conversation with The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity creator Saka Mikami. The publisher's 24 September programme separates the convention panel from a ten-day Kodansha House pop-up in Hudson Yards, giving
visitors a free option outside NYCC's ticketed grounds. A free manga stop beside NYCC Kodansha House NY runs 9–18 October , at 508 W 37th Street , two blocks from the Javits Center. The publisher lists free general admission and daily opening hours of 11 a.m.–9 p.m. ET . Its visitor page describes manga galleries,
photo zones, a library and lounge, and a retail area; shopping is separate from the free-entry promise. Mikami's NYCC panel is scheduled for 10 October, 1:15–2 p.m. , in Room 1C03 . Kodansha says seating is limited and photography and video recording are prohibited. The creator's Kodansha House Q&A and signing later
that day, plus a signing on 11 October, were sweepstakes events; the publisher says the sweepstakes are closed, with limited standby tickets available on the day. Those are separate opportunities from the public pop-up. More dates to plan around The wider schedule includes a free-to-enter editor conversation on 9
October, an anime watch party on 12 October, a Fall 2027 licensing panel on 15 October, a Ghost in the Shell talk on 17 October and a US watch-party premiere of the Blue Lock live-action film on 18 October. Several of these have advance RSVP or registration steps, and some are limited or invite-only. Check the live
Kodansha House schedule before travelling; registration windows and availability can change. For NYCC attendees, the separate convention panel listing is the place to confirm access rules. The Kodansha House location offers readers a way to engage with the publisher's manga programming across the convention week
without assuming that NYCC admission covers the pop-up or that pop-up entry guarantees a seat at a special event. For a different convention stop, our Bandai NYCC collectibles guide covers its separate programme.
