Megumi-Toons Homepage

Welcome to Megumi-Toons!
You are visitor .

Roughly once a month, we'll frantically search our Japanese dictionaries, and cross our fingers so we can translate another Megumi-Toon. Why? Because we like wrecking our copies of the Megumi-Toon book Ashita ga aru sa. Actually, we do this so our everyone can enjoy these comics through our newsletters at the meetings. Afterwards, we post them to the web so everyone can enjoy them without having to learn Japanese first!
Like Megumi-Toons? You might also like the extremely funny Azumanga-Toons.

Written by Hayashibara Megumi, with art by Asagi Sakura, Megumi-Toons started in Anime V magazine and were collected in the book Ashita ga aru sa. These comics are translated as a service to anime fans who don't read Japanese, and are not meant as an infringement of the owners' copyrights.
This book has been reprinted (ISBN number: 4-04-444501-X from Kadokawa) with some extra pages.
