June 1990 Pt.1 Mangajin Magazine
Mangajin Magazine
{Note: I did not have a subscripion to this magazine, but chose to pick it up at Comic-book stores around England in the early 1990's, it may have been months or even years before an issue would get to the UK.]
Consisting
of 80 pages (including front & back covers), with a Cover price
of $4.50. Mangajin was Distributed by KINOKUNIYA BOOKSTORES (in the
U.S.) & was available in Japan through SEKAI SHUPPAN KENKYU
CENTRE (Tokyo) First (Pilot) Issue Volume 1 #1 Printed June 1990,
start of print run August of 1990. Last issue published Volume 7 #70
November\December 1997. Mangajin was published 10 times a year,
Monthly except for January and July each year.
Editor &
Publisher Vaughan Paul Simmons (Based in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.)
The
Mangajin Project (as its Editor refers to it) issue one is such an
oddity of a point in time when interest in Japan went a little
deeper, from a fascination of modern Japanese business practises, and
it's almost unknown alien culture to that America. With
Hollywood movies like “Black Rain” staring Michael Douglas and
Andy Garcia, and Yusaku Matsuda that was only released in September
of 1989 in America still fresh in people's minds.
A
magazine aimed at helping those interested in the Japanese language,
studying both its politeness and slang, alongside what business
tourists may want to add to their understanding.
I
have only included a few samples of what you would find within the
pages of Mangajin from my own view as someone that appreciates all
aspects Japanese manga, in the hope it will spark a search for
knowledge in you the reader.
[NOTE:
By the late 90's Mangajin had ceased being published, it did have a
presence on the Internet, sadly that too is now in the past - using
the Internet's Archive Way-back machine

If you lived in 'Los Angeles', 'New York', or 'San Francisco' you had access to a Kinokuniya Bookstore, and a copy of mangajin.

The future of Mangajin, what's coming next!?
Not only does West meet East, but now you know that the city of Atlanta, is the birthplace of CocaCola, is also the birthplace of Mangajin.
