Teens Grades 6-12

Monthly on the 3rd Thursday from 5:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m.

New and seasoned Japanese visual culture fans are invited to join our club! Each month we’ll try out a new series by reading the first volume of the manga before meeting to discuss it and watch the first episode of the corresponding anime. Stick around afterward for a related activity, which could be anything from a craft to a competition! Use the code @gbmanga in the Remind app or visit remind.com/join/gbmanga to receive updates on meetings and other club-related events.

For October’s club meeting, we’ll be covering The Case study of Vanitas by Jun Mochizuki. “Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind (Anime Planet)?” Afterwards, we’ll be making some macabre crafts perfect for spooky season! Copies of November’s title, Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa, will be available for pickup.
