Manga, Anime & the Izakaya

The Manga & Anime Universe

Manga (Japanese comics) and anime (its animated counterpart)
are multi-billion-dollar cultural exports, with origins
tracing back to 12th-century picture scrolls. Modern manga
emerged in the post-war era, shaped by artists like Osamu
Tezuka, whose Astro Boy defined the big-eyed style. Today,
franchises like One Piece and Pokémon are global giants,
driving not just media sales but fashion, gaming, and tourism.

Supa San draws on this vivid visual world, incorporating bold
manga panels, whimsical character art, and dynamic colours
into its interiors, offering guests an immersive slice of
Japan’s pop culture while they dine.
