About Vive Le Weeb
Mission:
To cultivate a deeper appreciation of our favourite manga and anime series by interpreting how their historical, mythological, folkloric, or pop-culture influences underpin key themes and character arcs.
How We Started:
A group of friends and I are both manga/anime fans and history/culture nerds. Why not put the two together to create something for the weeb community?
