About

J is looking for J is exactly what it says in the title: a literary escape.

Though the main focus of this website will be books and manga, all other literary forms are also open to discussion (book-into-movies, plays, poems, short stories... you get the idea).

Why was this site created? Have you ever spent days browsing through bookshops online and library shelves just waiting to find that one right book? What about if you're a manga lover and just aren't familiar with the titles? Or perhaps the world around you isn't as excited about literature as you are, and you just want someone to talk to about the topics that fascinate you?

I know I'm not the only one who sometimes feel this way. That's why this site is here.

Also, this website provides you with the opportunity to share your own works with the readers - whether it's art, videos, or writing, be sure to send them in!
