I love manga…I will try to go to this program. Sounds interesting.
Sounds interesting
Honestly, I’m not really into manga…
Hey Matthew, definitely check it out if you have the opportunity. The Albion branch also has a Manga Club, if you’re interested in joining.
I love manga and drawing stuff! Out of curiosity, is there going to be any drawing contest or something hands-on in Word Out?
Hi Adhiba,
There isn’t a drawing contest for Word Out this year, but it’s a great idea and I will definitely bring it up at the next meeting. You should check out Svetlana if you are able to… I’m sure you can pick up some great new tips and techniques 🙂
How long is the event?
Hi Minnie,
It will be an hour long.
A manga club? That is so cool!
It is! They even publish their own magazine (the ‘Mangazine’) and make it available to patrons, so that they can get others interested in Manga and Anime as well. They submit their original art work, poetry, fanfiction, short stories, etc. It really is fantastic.
