the largest gathering of fans of Japanese culture in Portugal!
Valori, a young Portuguese manga artist, has been making a name for himself with *Underworld*, his psychological/action series that has won over audiences and took 2nd place in the Manga Plus Creators monthly awards.
With a style characterized by dynamic lines, strong characters, and an engaging narrative, Valori continues to develop *Underworld* while balancing the creation of the series with his studies in design.
And this year, his appearance at Iberanime Matosinhos 2026 will be even more special.
Exclusively at Iberanime, Valori and Dangan Magazine will launch the second volume of *Underworld*!
But that’s not all.
“How to Create a Manga Page” is the workshop where Valori will share with you the process behind creating a page—from planning and composing the panels to the final result. It’s an opportunity to learn directly from a Portuguese author who is building his own body of work.
And, of course, both volumes of *Underworld* will be available at the event, with Valori on hand to chat with readers, showcase his work, and sign your copies.
If you’re a manga fan, enjoy drawing, or want to get to know the emerging talent in Portugal better, this is an event you won’t want to miss at Iberanime!
Will you meet Valori and discover *Underworld*?
