Japanimaniac, n.
An endearing term for an individual who is passionate about Japanese culture, anime, and tabletop gaming – others tend to describe Japanimaniacs as ‘weird’ or ‘off-putting’...
Little do they know, there are thousands of us! ;)
The Original Japanimaniacs
What do you get when you mix an ex-comic book store owner turned anime convert, a Maid of Many Hats, and a Japanese-to-English translator otherwise known as ‘Babblefish’?
Answer: Team Japanime.
Though from wildly different backgrounds, we all have at least one thing in common – we’re crazy about tabletop gaming.
The fun. The connection with each other. The belonging.
Our Fan Favorites
Fight sinister forces in Kamigami Battles. Conquer the throne in Heart of Crown. Or become Master of the House in Tanto Cuore.
Meticulous design; rich, authentic imagery; and engaging gameplay are a few of the reasons why Japanimaniacs can’t get enough of these titles.
