I've met several people at Company YP and they are all very friendly and nice.
And this is a great way to get your foot in the industry.

You can apply online here.


One tip regarding your resume, since I used to work a little in Human Resources.
A lot of "fans" do this...they write in their qualifications that they love anime.
That's not a qualification!!
You should write that in the cover letter/email, since they ask for someone who is familiar with manga.

Anyway, if you're interested please apply and help poor Tania!
She is busy, busy, busy...from what I can see.
