press release: Rei Kiriyama is a 17-year-old whose parents and younger sister were killed many years before in an accident; he's now struggling to live independently as a professional shogi player (Japanese chess) while still trying to finish high school. The Kawamoto sisters - Akari, Hinata (Hina), and Momo- at least offer him some company (and free meals).
The Hawthorne Anime Club was created to give people a place to gather, watch, and talk about Japanese animation. Each meeting will include screenings of everything from classic titles to new releases. The club is aimed primarily at teens and adults. Films are shown in Japanese with English subtitles. Refreshments served at each meeting.
Call ahead to reserve your spot! People under age 16 who are interested in attending are required to have a parent present or to have a signed parental permission slip.
