Introducing Our Magazine!

Hi all,

For months and years now, we’ve been wanting to have a place where you could read the opinions and news coming straight from your fellow members. From the latest anime reviews to what’s happening at the coolest Japanese restaurants, this is now a reality.

We’re pleased to introduce our online magazine.

Clocking in at a consistent weekly schedule, we’ve been putting together some content from the past few months just for you! You can even comment on and discuss your favourite articles, all within the magazine itself.

If you’re interested in contributing to the magazine, we’re also interested in having you! This is a great opportunity for budding writers and artists to get their voice out to the world. Passion is a must, while a good grasp of English or a good feel for drawing is a plus.

Do email editor@tpjcg.org with samples of your writing or artwork (blog posts and articles similar to those already on the magazine are a good way to start) if you’re interested in contributing. Authors of all published articles will receive due renumeration and SEAL points - even more reason for you to start writing and drawing!
