Source-derived summary

Heroes Manga Madrid, born as Salón del manga de Madrid and later on, ExpoManga (officially Spanish: Salón Internacional del Manga de Madrid) was a Spanish anime and manga convention held annually in Madrid. Coupled with the Heroes Comic Madrid (known previously as Expocomic) and it became the second largest anime convention in Spain after the Salón del Manga de Barcelona. Organized at first by AEAC, was later on bought by the Dutch company EasyFairs, then Conceptum!. It was held in several locations during its first years, then it settled in Madrid's Casa de Campo fairground, to be moved into the IFEMA 2017–2019. The 2019 edition was cancelled citing organization problems, promising to come back in 2020, failing to do so and with no further notices from the organizers.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“ExpoManga” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, ExpoManga, Spanish and anime provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5853465. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2019 and 2020.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
