Final discussion thread of the year! If you think back to this time last year, most of us probably had never even heard of Lemmy, so it has been an eventful one. Having a smaller, but active community has exposed me to a wider variety of series that I hadn’t checked out before, so I look forward to more in the new year!
As always, this is a general discussion thread. So, feel free to reminisce with me or post about all the new manga you got for the holidays or anything else!
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).
I mentioned up top about how Lemmy was a new discovery for me this past year, so out of curiosity, I thought I would pull up the ol’ reddit account and take a look. I was a redditor for 11 years, and over that time I only made 24 posts (many more comments, too many to count). Hard to believe when you look at my account on this instance and I have made 314 posts since November 3rd and am now moderating 2 communities.
As for manga this past week, I have had the chance to read more since I am feeling mostly better (now my wife is really sick). I absolutely binged all of “My Dear Aster” over the course of two days. I really liked it. Somewhere around the end of the first season, the story connected to me on a very personal level. I don’t really want to get into the details in a public way online, but it is one of those stories that I happened to read at just the right point in my life, under the right conditions, for it to hit 100 times harder. If I had read this series a year ago, or a year from now, it probably wouldn’t have had the same impact.
