For 10+ yrs, Saturday AM has led the diverse manga space espousing a clear fact: black & brown people are a SIGNIFICANT portion of manga & anime fandom & want to see their stories told in that style ala global hip hop.

Check out this interview w/ our founder, @frederickljones.bsky.social
It's inevitable that diversity will win against the trolls, bigots, & Youtube grifters and Saturday AM's 10+ year record demonstrates this. Saturday AM is a haven for non-Japanese manga creators seeking to develop their own IP and tell their OWN STORIES in the manga style, just like Hip Hop. The Founder, Frederick L. Jones, has consistently stood up to a lack of resources, apathy, and outright anti-diversity bigotry to build the biggest brand in this space. Buy the latest issue, a special Manga Edition, of Amerime wire magazine featuring Saturday AM founder, Frederick L. Jones, on the cover.

D'Angelo dead at 51??

2025 sucks.

Saturday AM's founder, @frederickljones.bsky.social, was in college when the afrocentric movement and nu soul were making their way into pop culture. Black creative pride was ascendant.

JODECI also came at that time -- which is now a JOJO's END song.

RIP.
Saturday AM salutes legend D'angelo who passed away today at 51 yrs old. A true legend.
