Manga-jin is Kinjin's very own manga reading club.
Every month, a new manga is chosen, read and discussed at the club meeting. Every manga is chosen by votes of the members of the committee, which leads to the exploration of various kinds of manga that Japan has to offer. This eventually leads to some fruitful and eye-opening discussions, which cover art, story, characters, paneling and more!
