MyM (pronounced "My-em") is 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 videogames, it has since broadened its reach to become a fully rounded entertainment magazine, including features and interviews on mainstream movies, television programmes, comics, books and music.
The magazine's various review sections include releases in those same areas of entertainment, while the news and feature sections also report on movies, TV, videogames, 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 includes interviews, tips and posters, backed up by a "Fashion Watch" page highlighting the best J-fashion and beyond. A "MyMag" section originally published readers' reviews but has been superseded by a "Reader's Art" page, which includes drawings, illustrations and photography. Meanwhile, regular music interviews feature J-pop and K-pop acts, as well as mainstream acts and big-name film, TV and videogame 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.
