Yen Press at Anime NYC 2023: Going Big at Our Last Show of the Year!

For many, the month of November means Thanksgiving and early holiday shopping. For us at Yen Press, it's the month when Anime NYC takes place! There is a ton of fun to be had at this year's Anime NYC, taking place from November 17th to 19th! We’ll be at Booth 1706, right by the main entrance of the Exhibit Hall. With our giant LED screen and a counter filled with too many books, you can’t miss us!

With Anime NYC being our last convention of the year, we're bringing along many of this year's greatest hits as well as classics from both Yen Press and Ize Press. You can also get a free tote bag featuring Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint with the purchase of $40 or more, and an Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint poster with the purchase of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Vol. 1 (comic)!
