The Journal of Anime and Manga Studies (JAMS) is an annual, peer-reviewed academic journal about anime and manga, cosplay, and their fandoms. It is published by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

History
JAMS was founded by Billy Tringali and launched in November 2020 as an open access journal. Tringali stated that goal of founding JAMS included an interest in increasing the accessibility of scholarship about anime and manga.

In 2019, the journal was sourced by The Washington Post for a comment on Disney's appropriation of elements from the Japanese anime, Kimba the White Lion, to make the film, The Lion King.
