Overview

Manga Banga is a Japanese-inspired eatery bringing bold flavours and playful energy to the dining scene. Blending traditional street food favourites with a modern creative twist, it celebrates the spirit of Tokyo through small plates, cocktails, and bao buns. Every detail — from the food to the visuals — is designed to capture the excitement and artistry of Japanese pop culture.

Brand Strategy

Manga Banga aims to stand out as more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. The brand channels the vibrancy of manga culture to create a sense of fun, discovery, and connection. Its identity reflects a fusion of authenticity and edge, appealing to diners who crave both taste and personality. Every interaction, from social media to the plate, is infused with energy, confidence, and cultural flair.

Design Approach

The visual identity draws from classic manga aesthetics and Japanese iconography. Bold graphics, dynamic compositions, and expressive typography create an instant sense of movement and excitement. The colour palette — dominated by vivid reds, blacks, and creams — mirrors the high-contrast drama of comic art, while the layout feels fresh and contemporary. Together, these elements form a cohesive design that feels both nostalgic and new.

Outcome

A brand that’s impossible to ignore - dynamic, distinctive, and full of character. Manga Banga’s identity captures the joy of Japanese food and culture while staying approachable and fun. The website and visual system instantly communicate its story: bold flavours, creative spirit, and a dining experience that’s as visual as it is delicious.
