The JETAA Chicago and Japan America Society of Chicago YPC continue the Anime & Art Club with a meeting in January!

Join us on Tuesday, January 14th, 6 pm CST for the next meeting of the JETAA Chicago and Japan America Society of Chicago YPC Anime & Art Appreciation Society! Our club will be discussing various individual anime series. For our next meeting, we have chosen episodes 1-4 of Dandadan!, based on the manga by Yukinobu Tatsu. Momo Ayase, a high school student obsessed with actor Ken Takakura, befriends a nerdy boy she nicknames Okarun (instead of his actual name, Ken Takakura) who mistakes her kindness for a shared obsession with paranormal phenomena; while she believes in spirits, he believes in aliens, and they send each other to notorious places to prove their respective interests.

Be sure to view the anime in advance (available on Netflix) and join us for an evening of casual discussion in a virtual space via Zoom! Registrations are limited, so grab a spot while you can!

Sign up here!

This event is open to JET alumni, JASC YPC members and friends.

Learn Japanese with Maplopo!

Maplopo is the only immersive, synchronous AND asynchronous program specifically designed to help learners internalize the Japanese language through the power of story. Over the span of 10 weeks, we provide learners with the knowledge, structure, and accountability needed to break through learning ceilings so they can close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Participants gain access to the language on a deeper level and learn how to use these skills through hands-on work and training from top instructors and professionals both inside and outside Japan. 

Learn about Maplopo's special JET-only session here! The registration for 2025 has already closed, but will open again in January 2026!
