Editorial

    Mid-length articles that touch on current issues in Japan and how they may affect the doujinshi/ manga/ anime scene. These Editorial articles present information objectively, but may contain our opinions and comments as a publisher. Many news from Japan reported in English tend to be “skewed” one way or another. We hope to bring balanced reporting for current issues to explain how it will affect the industry.
