Announcement 3: The sixth and final session of the illustration and manga drawing chat course, which is run mainly by the creative club at Ibaraki Elementary School and hosted by the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE, will be held on Wednesday, March 11th. A report on how the first six sessions went will be published soon. It should be very informative, including how the six sessions went and what the results were!

Announcement 4: As part of our contribution to the local community, the editor-in-chief of GIGAZINE will become the chairman of the Ibaraki City Betsuincho Neighborhood Association. A general meeting is scheduled to be held in April, and it will gradually become clear what kind of neighborhood association it will become. If we continue with the so-called old-fashioned neighborhood association, it will become pointless as it will taper off, so if we are going to do it anyway, let's do something that has never been done before! So please look forward to further updates.
