The 2025 edition of the New York Comic Con wrapped a couple of weeks ago and in addition to a comprehensive day by day walkthrough posts, I dissected some of the photos from those days to offer up as succinct focus posts. Doing this let’s the content entertain you in a slightly different fashion and of course bumps up the overall amount of posts done for the convention. If you’re only just now joining us, I’ll ask you to please click HERE to enjoy the adventure and related posts from the very beginning. This post features three exciting companies that were present at New York Comic Con with Crunchyroll, Hasbro and The Loyal Subjects. Let’s get this party started with the Crunchyroll Manga booth.

So I’m not going to lie to you about this but I really don’t read a whole lot of Manga. I do love the format as an entertainment medium but I am mostly focused on the more traditional releases from the Marvel, DC and Image side of the fence and especially when collecting.

Crunchyroll was showcasing their “Crunchyroll Manga” app to the assembled masses and this booth was quite popular with fans checking it out and learning how to sign up for it. Here’s a look at some of the booth.
