Screening

Below is the program for the evening of Saturday February 24^th, 2018.

As the end of the month screening, we are going to do an audience survey during the Dinner Break to determine what our dear JAFWAites enjoy on our program. To expand the selection on the survey, so we hope you will appreciate the preview episode from the new series of “Card Captor Sakura” before the Dinner Break (and try not to miss “Restaurant to Another World” too much).

This week will also have the first draw in our modified Member’s Prize system. Every time one of our signed up members has attended a JAFWA screening in February has entitled them to one entry in this week’s draw. We have some large prizes pooled up, so large in fact that we are having difficulty uploading the pictures of the prizes. Do you want to be our inaugural winner?

Synopsis

Yoshino Koharu is a young girl trying to look for a job in Tokyo, but is only met with a series of rejections.

With no other choice, Yoshino accepts the offer and travels to Manoyama only to find out that she was hired based on a case of mistaken identity and that her contract term is for one year instead of the one day, as she had initially thought. With nowhere else to go, Yoshino reluctantly becomes Queen of Manoyama.

This evening’s Episode: “The Budding Yggdrasil”

The traditional wood-carvers of Manoyama are rejecting the promotional efforts of Yoshino and her friends, due to their lack of understanding of the wood-carvers art.

Upon discovering that the Manoyama wood carvers had continually changed their products as the times changed, Yoshino gets the idea to build a massive palace out of wood sculptures as a tourist attraction called the “Sakura Pond Familia”.
