Winter 2020 Anime: Official Info, Airdates & Trailers
Keep warm this winter season with the latest anime info at MANGA.TOKYO!
Hello MANGA.TOKYO visitors!
For the past few years, MANGA.TOKYO has strived to bring you the best anime and manga-related news, reviews and interviews straight from Japan!
Not only have we brought you news directly from the source and our select news partners, we have also enjoyed spicing up our content with fun features such as:
- photo reports from anime events in Japan
- interviews with anime directors, producers, voice actors, up-and-coming singers and more
- Japanese voice actor stage event reports
- anime-related travel articles
- educational articles
And much much more!
In 2018 we decided to branch out, launching our proxy-buying service, Otsukai!
Otsukai lets you upload a public request for the Japan-exclusive items you are searching for.
Our users in Japan will then make offers to purchase the item and ship it to you on your behalf!
You can be very specific in the item you want…or you can be open to suggestions from the Japanese users!
Just go to otsukai.com to find out more.
MANGA.TOKYO and Otsukai are run by a very small team of just 7 full-time staff with one thing in common — we all love Japanese pop culture and want to spread it across the globe!
With this in mind, MANGA.TOKYO will be cutting down on the publishing of news for the time being whilst we focus on getting Otsukai off the ground.
We will still be posting here from time-to-time and aim to come back even bigger than before — so watch this space!
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to what the future will bring!
— Everybody at MANGA.TOKYO and Otsukai
