At a recent Anime-Manga Club meeting, we had fun with trivia. Everyone got a chance to answer questions and received points based on the difficulty of the question. We had time for about 100 questions, which was pretty cool. Once a club member got 5 points, they received a free manga book. The books were kindly donated by one of our club members.

Where's Newtype? Where did it go?
Did you notice that there was no Newtype Magazine for March? Yeppers, February was the last issue of publication for the English Newtype Magazine.
But have no fear! The end of Newtype USA does NOT mean the end of anime news!
Guess what- PiQ magazine is here! ADV's newest venture is called PiQ. It will now be bringing you all the anime, manga, video game, cosplay, and Japanese popular culture information that you enjoyed back in Newtype. PiQ's debut issue features articles about xxxHOLIC and Fullmetal Alchemist, among many others.
Not only does PiQ have so much great content- but the PiQ website also features a blog, RSS feeds, and even a podcast you can listen to.
And in case you were wondering, our library system does carry PiQ. So make sure to check it out!
