Ogiue Maniax is a part of my life. Over the past 7+ years, I like to think that I’ve made a reputation for myself as consistently providing insightful commentary on anime and manga. I’ve never tried to monetize this blog, but am trying something out with a site called Patreon.

Patreon is sort of like Kickstarter, except rather than donating one time towards a singular goal, you would essentially be sponsoring me every month as a way to show your appreciation. You can give as much or as little as you want, and you can stop at any time or even set an upper limit in case you’re worried about spending money you don’t have. I also have some rewards for those who would like to contribute more, including the chance to tell me what to write about.

If you’re interested, head on over to my Patreon and take a look.

I want to stress that Ogiue Maniax will continue to be free. I genuinely love exploring and analyzing Japanese popular media, and that won’t ever stop.
