“The Azuki TCG is unique in its premise and history” - Matt Quinn, our VP 💯
Azuki launched in 2022 as an anime-inspired collection of 10,000+ characters created by former Overwatch art director Arnold Tsang. What started as a community-driven experiment quickly took on a life of its own, with holders shaping character identities, stories, and even businesses.. turning Azuki into a full-scale multimedia universe ‼
As a TCG, the game features stunning hand-drawn Azuki characters from artists within the community. Players battle using 50-card decks, Leader and Gate cards, and IKZ cards, aiming to bring their opponent’s Leader HP to zero. Matches run about 20 minutes.
We are thrilled to now offer authentication, grading and encapsulation services for Azuki TCGs! 🥳
🪣 The Bucket Man anime teaser is finally here. From an idea inspired by a piece of @Azuki artwork grew into years of passion, creation, collaboration and this is just the beginning. This project was born from a deep love for anime and the culture that shaped many of us. Truly hope you can feel the energy and passion for story telling. All roads lead to the 🪣 anime!
Special thanks to @OtsuLabs in helping me bring Bucket Man to life.

Foreign enrollment at US colleges is falling:
International student enrollment at US universities declined -1.4% YoY this fall, the first decrease in 3 years.
~5,000 fewer international students enrolled nationwide.
The decline was led by graduate enrollment programs that plunged -6%, by ~10,000 students, the most in at least 5 years.
This follows an increase of +50% between 2020 and 2024.
Public 4-year institutions were hit hardest, recording a -9% drop in graduate international students.
Foreign student inflow is slowing.
