The Tokyo School of Anime (a school that provides education for animation, voice acting and other otaku-centric hobbies) has announced that it will be opening another school entitled the “Akiba Business School”, which will specialize specifically in pop culture and the entertainment industry – finally allowing otaku to profit more directly from their shady interests.
The Akiba Business School will reportedly offer a total of six majors: Maid & Cosplay Business, Anime Event Staff, Doujinshi, Idol, Anime Producer and Idol Producer, all of which are bound to offer some interesting if obvious career directions.
Cosplay parties and the like, as well as the ability to join clubs dedicated to interests such as dubbing and anime songs will apparently be a staple of student life, along with a chance to even join either of the school’s two idol groups:
Applications are being accepted now (though for only a few of the majors for the time being), with information sessions being scheduled for March 5th, 12th and the 19th at the Tokyo School of Anime in West Kasai; those itching to further their education as otaku can sign up at the school’s official website, and classes start April, 2017.

Someone still needs to hire them.
Does this degree give them an advantage over those who don’t have it? I doubt it.
Well, unlike Women’s Studies major, they will be able to get a job with their major
Well, there’s Twitter Safety Council, probably some positions at the UN and maybe some other scam organization you could join with a degree in oppressed.
*triggered*
Business school my ass.
There MUST be a yakuza course. Please?
Yeah, cutting one finger for each failed subject. Outta fingers? Outta school!
How could you major in doujinshi? I’m pretty sure the statistic is something like 80% of doujin circles lose money.
Just looked it up, more than 90% of circles lose money or break even according to Comiket.
Well, that’s because they don’t have a degree in doujinshi.
well said.
