About HanaCon
HanaCon is Hanover’s premier convention celebrating anime, manga, cosplay, and the rich cultures of Japan and South Korea – bringing fans and culture enthusiasts together from all across Germany. What makes it special: our event is run 100% by volunteers. Our entire crew works purely out of passion for the community without making any profit, meaning every contribution goes directly right back into the convention.
