With the help of Mrs Takizawa, Mrs Castle and the librarians, the magazine was printed on time. The magazine includes an introduction to Japanese comics and animation, members' profiles. and some of the work that we did during the meetings Although Animanga Club 15 still a young club, with its enthusiastic and supportive members. strong support from others and unlimited devotion to Japanese animation and comics, the club should have a bright future Many thanks go to Mrs Takizawa, Mrs Castle, the librarians and all our members for making a good start for the Animanga Club. Hopefully the club will become more popular and will overcome challenges and continue to run for many years
