- MyM (pronounced "My-em") was an 84-page monthly entertainment magazine published in the United Kingdom by the MCM Expo Group. Originally focusing on various aspects of Japanese pop culture, including anime, manga, Japanese cinema and music, cosplay, lolita fashion and video games, it later broadened its reach to become a fully rounded entertainment magazine, including features and interviews on mainstream films, television programmes, comics, books and music. The magazine's various review sections included releases in those same areas of entertainment, while the news and feature sections also report on films, TV, video games, anime, manga and comics. Regular feature "My Goodies" includes the best toys, gadgets, T-shirts, games, models and merchandise, while fellow regular "Planet Japan" delivers a snapshot of life in that region. The cosplay section included interviews, tips and posters, backed up by a "Fashion Watch" page which highlighted the best J-fashion and beyond. A "MyMag" section originally published readers' reviews but has been superseded by a "Reader's Art" page, which included drawings, illustrations and photography. Meanwhile, regular music interviews featured J-pop and K-pop acts, as well as mainstream acts and big-name film, TV and video game composers. The first issue of MyM was published on 3 May 2012 and was edited by its publisher, Tarik Alozdi. In October 2012, it was announced that the MCM Expo Group, which runs events such as London MCM Expo, had purchased the magazine. Jody Raynsford edited the magazine for three issues, until news editor Matt Chapman took over as editor from issue 15. On 23 October 2017, ReedPop acquired MCM. MyM released its final magazine issue (Issue 71) on 16 February 2018. (en)
