Jump Festa is a yearly party or exposition about anime and manga that’s sponsored by publishing company Shueisha. Attendees can get a first look at all sorts of teasers at the big event. Comicbook reported late last month that during the second day of the expo, “One Piece” will have a panel in celebration of its 20th anniversary. “Black Clover” and “Boruto” are making their debuts the same day, while “Kekkai Sense Back 2 Back” and “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K” will have panel discussions.
