Brand Values

• •Community Building
• •Family and Local Roots
• •Passion for Anime Culture

Best Practices

• •Embrace Enthusiasm: Use exclamation points (judiciously), positive adjectives, and emojis where appropriate (especially on social media) to convey genuine passion for the products and culture.
• •Speak the Language of Fans: Incorporate common anime/manga/TCG terminology naturally. Refer to series, characters, and game mechanics in a way that resonates with enthusiasts.
• •Highlight Community: Regularly mention in-store events, encourage interaction (ask questions, run polls), and feature user-generated content if possible. Use inclusive language like "fam," "community," "fellow fans."
• •Maintain an Approachable, Friendly Voice: Even when being informative, keep the tone conversational and welcoming. Avoid overly corporate or stiff language. Reflect the family-owned vibe.
• •Be Visually Consistent: While not strictly copy, ensure that the visuals (photos, videos, graphics) accompanying the text also reflect the brand's energetic, colorful, and community-oriented nature. TikTok content often uses trending sounds and engaging visuals.
