Aimee Yang

Hi! I’m Aimee, a third year Cognitive Science major at Muir.

My personal genre preferences are slice of life anime and horror manga! In my free time I draw and play (puzzle) visual novels, with Ace Attorney being my current favorite.

I’m a big fan of K-Pop girl groups (my favorites are IVE, NewJeans, and Twice, but I’m familiar with basically every popular girl group).

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about drawing or anything else!

Alee Ong

Hi hi! I’m Alee and I’m a 4th year Applied Mathematics major at Warren.

My favorite genres in anime and manga are comedy, slice of life, and fantasy. I tend to read more manga than watch anime just because I read very quickly. And I also like to play games but I’m into mainly JRPGs.

The Atelier series is one of my favorites for how they integrate slice of life with fantasy. But I enjoy other series like Persona, Tales, Rune Factory, Danganronpa, and Fire Emblem.

I also play a lot of gacha games (PAD, Genshin, HSR). I’m into a lot of niche series (like ORV, TCF, RPG-Maker Horror games, Epithet Erased) so if you ever want to talk about them send me a DM in discord.

I hope you enjoy AME!
