Happy Birthday! It has been one year since I made the first general discussion post in this community. Back then, this community newly created with a whole 1 subscriber and active member - me. Since then, we have grown to be the most active general manga community on lemmy. I didn't do that on my own, so I want to thank everybody that has contributed over the past year to make this community what it has become today.

Just in case it wasn't clear, you can absolutely use this thread the same way you would use any other general discussion thread. Let us know about things you have read, ask about things you want to read, show off some new volumes you just got, whatever. Go wild! (within the rules)

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

Got a confession to make myself too: before I started posting here I was actively posting new chapters on the .ml community. Some heavy arguing (I abstained from it, but it was quite unpleasant to be dropped into) later and I went for greener pastures.

While I am probably quite older than the majority here being in my mid-40s, I really enjoy the relaxed environment. There's no rush to post chapters for some ephemeral 'karma', and I can post as many villainess and shōjo as I want without being critized for it.

So, thank you @[email protected] for this space and let's go for another 100 years!

I am in my late 30's, so we aren't too far off there. I also appreciate how the smaller size means that I don't need to race to read chapters. I often will read a chapter a couple days after it comes out and then go to the post that somebody else made where we can have a dialog. It's similar for the anime episodes as well, where I can go back into a thread a couple days later and still have a conversation. The speed at which huge communities like the subreddits move can be too fast for me to keep up with.

Same. Other than those few exceptions where I rush to read new chapters, I usually let some backlog build before I start tearing them down.

I would never rush to read a chapter. Nooo, why would you think that?
