About Us

We are a bunch of Otaku. Yes, you read it correctly, we are proud to be part of the Otaku Culture and we are committed into sharing our passion to everyone!

Firstly, thanks for reading this, we from OtaWorks are dedicated to bring out all sort of news from the Japanese Otaku culture, just for you!

We will be covering a wide range of materials, such as:

  • Anime – Where we will be covering about new and upcoming series, along with reviews of the ongoing series, talking about what we think about the series, along with potentially in-depth talks about the series.
  • Manga – Manga in itself, is a very rich content that covers just about all aspects of genre.
  • Games – Japan has released multitude of genre and even has acclaimed their own genre of game, J-RPG.
  • Music – Surely we all have heard and loved Anisong, J-pop, J-rock, and all other things that are created by the artistic nature of Japan.
  • Events – Convention, concerts, we are here to cover them.
  • People – Without people working on the industry, it won’t exist. We are here to cover the latest news on what is happening in the industry.
  • Hobby – Collections? Model kits? We also love them!

Few of us would also travel out to Japan and few other countries when possible to attend events, so do not be surprised if we are reporting events from multiple countries!
