AN INTRODUCTION

Hello! My name is Chris. This past March, I visited Japan for an extended vacation and found that the best way to attend special events and snag exclusive merchandise was to follow Japanese social media. Of course, not knowing the language made that rather difficult! This newsletter is designed to take the hard work out of sleuthing Twitter, Facebook, LINE and more to give you a head's up on what's going on in Japan from official accounts, creators and studios themselves. If you’re visiting Japan, live in Japan or are simply interested in the anime culture, this is the newsletter for you! Please enjoy and tell your friends! Subscribing costs nothing, of course, and I aim to send a newsletter out every week. Thank you for reading!

SPRING ANIME SEASON IS IN FULL SWING

Pop-ups are springing up all over Tokyo for several series including Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague and Yuru-Camp. Let’s go!
