Mangajin magazine online

[davemerrill]

The 1990s manga translation - teaching tool Mangajin is now all online! Relive your early experiences with Japanese comics in a language you can understand, marvel at the wide variety of manga available, and maybe you can find the article I wrote! Mangajin was published in Atlanta and its editor was a guest at the first Anime Weekend Atlanta; the magazine was put together in an office near Georgia Tech that I believe is now part of the Atlantic Station development. I have a Mangajin t-shirt somewhere.

I used to have SO MANY of these! I think I only still have a few I never got around to reselling. Ah, memories...

I was friends with Kazuko who did the covers. It was my first exposure to Adobe Illustrator. Whoah that was a long time ago. I was actually working on a "how to read Japanese" using Urusei Yatsura but once I saw Mangajin I thought they were doing a damn good job. I still should've kept a printout though because the experience really helped me learn a lot of grammar points.
