About Us

Our Goal

At Manga Hikari, our mission is to illuminate your world with the magic of anime and meticulous craftsmanship. Each box is made for fans, by fans—with the passion and patience that only true otaku can understand.

Our Origin: The Gift That Sparked the Dream

In 2007, I was struggling to find purpose. One late evening, my older brother surprised me with a handmade Naruto lightbox: rough cardboard, flickering LEDs, but pure magic. That night, we watched anime together, dreaming of bringing scenes to life. It was imperfect, but it sparked everything.

Design Process ✨

Thankful for my brother's twelve years as a graphic artist and product designer. We spent countless nights sketching, testing, and failing in order to capture the spirit of anime in three-dimensional light. Our design process was painfully meticulous: hours spent choosing the right transparency, debating which color best matched scene moods, building digital silhouettes pixel by pixel.

Sometimes, we would pause a single anime episode for an hour, debating expressions, lighting, or background details. We built over twenty prototypes before finding a material blend that gave the boxes their signature glow.

Turning Point

Social media changed everything. Our first facebook video of a finished lightbox received hundreds of comments from fellow otaku. Orders grew, but more important was the feedback—fans sharing their own references, moments, favorite characters.

Expansion

We moved from sketches at home to a real studio in 2015. A wall of failed prototypes, new laser tools, images of us working late surrounded by boxes and manga books. Now, with every lightbox sent, our community grows—and we improve.

Gratitude & Growth

What makes MangaHikari different? The support of fans who trust us, the relentless efforts to perfect each lightbox, and the belief that anime brings life and joy to any room.

We ordered 14 pieces, and everything went smoothly. The anime light boxes were very well packaged. One had a loose connection. We contacted support, and they responded within two days. The replacement has already arrived.

Once again, a big thank you to the absolutely friendly support team and for the hassle-free replacement.

Bought this for my son's birthday! A little sceptical after reading some issues with delivery however I had no problems at all and the light box was well made and a big hit with my son! Will be purchasing more for him.

Sara R. >

This kight is amazing! I gifted it to my boyfriend and bought one of Nezuko for myself. It was the first ever anime we watched together and our favorite.

Elisa F. >

My son was very happy to see that the light was exactly as shown and described, he loves how it looks 3D and he thinks it looks great, amd he said it was 100% worth the wait for shipping. I also appreciated the shipping update. He also offered up a suggestion to make a Aki themed box since he "would totally want to buy that one" too, as he is looking to add to his Chainsaw Man themed bedroom, and that would make him even more likely to buy a Power themed one that I guess you guys have currently, so that they could be a trio.

Clara T. >

My son loves them. Thanks .

Trent S. >

I ordered 4 lights and they all arrived as described. I like that there's both a cable and battery option. Shipping took a little while, but they arrived in about 2 weeks.

Hemsa E. >

Great product! I’ve been a fan of Naruto for years and this is perfect.

Daria E. >

I ordered the Asta light box! It came in perfect condition! It came with the power cord or you can use batteries. I love it! I order two others and gave one as a gift and she loved it! I won’t lie I was skeptical that this website was a scam but I’m glad I ordered anyway because these light boxes are really cool! I will definitely be ordering more!

These light boxes are brilliant and look super cool in my son's bedroom. The quality was much better than I expected and my son loves them. We have Zoro,Luffy and Chopper stacked and powered by usb from his Xbox. The delivery was on time and the tracking was regularly updated so I was reassured that they were on their way in time for my son's birthday. Thank you so much, we would definitely buy more One piece boxes if you can make Nami or Frankie.

Great boxes, looks exactly as on picture! Will def buy more!

Tim L. >

Ordered 7 lights. 6/7 were perfect. The Luffy one I ordered had a defect where his hair wasn’t glued to the surface properly. Just a subtle defect and I don’t feel like returning and waiting for a replacement.

They really look amazing glowing in the dark, but the only thing that i have to criticize is, that they aren‘t as colorful as the pictures show… like for that muichiro one, only the eyes and the japanese signs are glowing white, there nothing turquoise glowing😭
