Mangaka is the Japanese word for a comic artist or cartoonist.  Are you an aspiring mangaka?  Bring your best manga art to the end-of-the-school-year Manga Club on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.  You and fellow anime enthusiasts will "ooh" and "aah" over the showcase of art while you consume pizza.  After the party, grab a drawing book to help you hone your manga skills.
