Nestled on the eastern side of the Bluestone Mountains and on the edge of the Blythewud Forrest, the settlement of Runewick sits at one side of a prominent mountain pass. Its traditions and history stretch back centuries to when the town once resided within the Forrest itself. Why they moved has long since been forgotten, but a coming of age trial amongst the Youth consists of that years "volunteer" heading out at the stroke of midnight, traversing the woods and retrieving a designated trophy from the ruins of the old Town. Many have done it. Not all have returned. And this year a strange wind has blown through the woods, carrying a feeling of dread and something older than memory.

When: Sunday 9/27/2026 3p-8p
Where: 2525 Bardstown Rd. Ste 108

It's time for another manga swap! Bring all your manga, anime, figures, keychains, buttons, bits, and bobs to the Otaku Manga Lounge on September 26th.

If you have so much that you need a table, please reach out to a LAC staff member, as there are only so many to go around.

When: September 26th from 2-5PM

Thank you! Matsuricon 2026!

This year's Matsuricon was amazing. Thank you to everyone who visited our manga library, shopped our booth, and helped us make Matsuricon 2026 a year to remember! Also, thank you to our local friends who stopped by and chatted with us at the convention!

We had so much fun this year, we didn't stop to take pictures 😅

We're officially on the backend of 2026 and we have 2 more major events on top of our monthly game nights.

Mark your calendar for October 10th. We are replacing the Fall Festival this year with an even more exciting collaboration. Stay Tuned for the official announcement! 👀

Saturday, December 5th is the return of our Otaku Manga Lounge Winter Night Market!

Matsuricon always gives us a major energy boost leading into the holiday season and the New Year and we are so excited to keep growing our home for anime and manga fans!
