Get to know more fans of Manga and Animé.

Manga Café is an informal, friendly group of Manga and animé fans that meets the first Saturday of the month at Enderby Library. Mainly we chat and eat snacks we’ve brought to share.

We’re quite a mix of ages and personalities, everyone fits in. You don’t have to commit to coming, some people come to most sessions, others just come occasionally. New people are very welcome. If you're interested in coming along or want to know more details call us on 0116 3053523 or email Ali on ali.sheffield@leics.gov.uk

New: Manga Cool Wall

Next Session's focus

At each group we decide what to do in future sessions. For example to focus on a certain anime or manga. Keep an eye out here for anything you need to know before the next meeting:

Saturday 3rd April

The titles we'll be adding to the Cool Wall are:

- Model

- Chibi Vampire

- Case Closed

- Pitaten

- Negima

- Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade

So try to read as many as possible before next time as you'll only be allowed to vote on them if you've read them.

Maddy is also going to put together another of her quizzes with a focus on anime, although if there aren't many there because of Easter, we'll postpone that to next time.

Borders group:

Borders used to run a Manga Group on a Thursday evening, with more of a focus on drawing than we have. Since Borders closed, many have been missing the group. One of the regulars is going to relaunch it at Enderby Library on a Wednesday evening, hopefully it can become a monthly fix, first meeting Wed 31st March, 6-7pm.

Volunteer needed:

Would you like to lead a Graphic Novels Reading Group? A volunteer group leader is needed to give a group a new lease of life at Coalville Library. Please contact Victoria Barton on Tel: 0116 3053565 or e-mail Victoria.barton@leics.gov.uk for more details.

Aged 13-18?

For the younger members of the Manga Cafe, we have a special online group set up: groupthing.org/groups/manga-cafe join us here to post your artwork, or talk about what you're reading/watching.
