The meeting commenced with an exploration of the recent appeal of visual storytelling in manga and comics. The speakers unanimously agreed that the power of images greatly attracts readers, which explains the popularity of this literary form. Habib Mazini, a writer, and painter, emphasized, "Comics have a unique ability to engage and captivate readers, making it a powerful medium for storytelling."

The discussion covered the important role of manga and comics in promoting values among children and adolescents, who are particularly drawn to this type of literature. Zainab Fasiki, a young feminist, and comic writer highlighted the significance of this genre in shaping the minds and values of young readers. "Comics provide an accessible platform to convey important messages and values to our youth" Fasiki emphasized.

Moreover, the speakers recognized the immense creativity and inspiration exhibited by today's youth. Youness el Haroussi, the director of Manga and an expert in video game creation, praised the dedication and innovative ideas of young artists. However, the panel also acknowledged the challenges faced in publishing books by such young authors. Fasiki expressed her concern, stating, "While there is a huge devotion among young people to write and express themselves, we still encounter difficulties in publishing books by these young talents."

Fasiki went on to explain that her own books, such as "Hshouma," aim to defend women's liberty and rights, break taboos, and contribute to a better situation for women in society.

As the International Book Fair continues to showcase diverse forms of literature, this gathering shed light on the significance of manga and comics as platforms for education, inspiration, and social change.
