The Japanese Anime Club will meet to discuss new anime shows and manga books, taste Japanese snacks, pick up a few new words of Japanese, and learn to draw in the anime style. It’s a book club, a class, and a new friend hangout all at once!

Guests will solve mysteries, learn secret codes, analyze their favorite books, and write their own fantasy stories.
