Otaku USA is a bi-monthly magazine that "features comprehensive coverage of anime, manga, videogames, and Japanese Pop culture written from an American perspective". It also showcases 32-pages of chapters from hot upcoming manga releases in each issue!

Join us on Tuesday, October 25th, at 6 p.m. for the Escape Room Challenge! After entering the room and going over the rules, the doors will be locked behind you. 60 minutes is on the clock! You'll need to search the room for clues and work together to solve puzzles that will lead to your escape. Are you up to the challenge?
Today is the LAST day to turn in your summer reading logs, collect prizes, and get your invite to the finale party. Get those logs in by 9 tonight if you don't want to miss out!
