Tokyo Otaku is a weekly guide to anime, manga, gaming, and Japanese culture events in Tokyo. Every article is curated from Japanese-language sources — event calendars, venue websites, and local news — because the best things happening in Tokyo are rarely written in English first.
This site is a personal project by Makoto. Each post includes practical information (venues, dates, ticket prices) and one or two Japanese vocabulary words to help language learners build their knowledge while they explore.
