The Adeje department of youth, under councillor Carmen Lucía Rodríguez del Toro, will again host Komorebi-Con at the CDTCA on 31 August, promising to be even more exciting and diverse. This event, which brings together fans of anime, manga, K-pop, the gaming world, and board games, has established itself as an unmissable event in the pop culture calendar, as well as one of the activities to celebrate International Youth Day.
This year, the official poster has been designed by the Adeje artist Alba González Fernández, who, inspired by memes that have gone viral this year, has created a piece that merges her own cosplays (dressing up and often acting as a character) and K-pop group merchandise, depicting characters on their way to Komorebi-Con 2024 aboard the iconic Going Merry, in search of the legendary One Piece.
Komorebi-Con 2024 promises to be an unforgettable day for pop culture enthusiasts, offering a platform to share passions, meet new friends, and enjoy a day full of activities.
