AJAMCA
Anglo-Japanese Anime, Manga and Culture Association

In recent years there has been an increase in the popularity of Anime and Manga around the world and particularly in the UK. This has been reflected in the number of people watching Anime, reading Manga and attending conventions and exhibitions in the UK.

There are a lot of references to Japanese culture and history in Anime and Manga particularly with regard to customs, festivals, legends and jokes or puns and these are not always obvious to people in Europe and America as a result of cultural differences and translation of Japanese into English and American English.

For many centuries there have been close cultural and economic links between Britain and Japan. AJAMCA aims to promote the awareness and understanding of Anime, Manga and Japanese culture in the UK and to strengthen cultural links between the UK and Japan.
