Manga is basically the Japanese equivalent of what you might know as comic books. They have a very unique style which has developed over many years. We hope here you can learn to appreciate the art that is manga and become an avid manga fan!
This week's poll was also suggested by pachique. It's like last week's but now it's hair color instead of eye color.

Now I wonder if purple/violet hair will win this week's poll
An official dark mode is now available! On mobile, you access the option via the hamburger menu button. On desktop, it's at the bottom of the left sidebar. Don't be scared too much by the banner.
The modernization of our code last month finally enabled us to do some changes we've been wanting to do. We eventually want to reskin the entire site, but that's low in priority right now. We will try and allow an option to keep the current look and feel of the site.
This week's poll was suggested by our member pachique. What eye color do you like or think is cool on a protagonist?

Looks like AI art is generally frowned upon
This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you feel about AI generated art? Obviously there's a lot of potential nuance, but gotta boil it down to a short, easy poll.

Well, good thing we're thinking about creating a dark mode
This poll was suggested by our member Afiaki. This question is very relevant because the site update we did 3 weeks ago modernizes our code and allows us to think about redoing the skin of the site and supporting an official dark mode.

I was surprised by how much discussion (anger?) there was in the comments about UTC vs. GMT and how I should've phrased the poll better
This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. What time zone are you normally in? I just listed the most common offsets that are on the hour. If you're at a x:30 or x:45 offset, then you're in the "Other" category. If you can't be bothered to figure out what time zone you're in, we even got the "I don't know" option for you. If you're currently in daylight savings... too bad, figure it out.
