This post will be my first post in almost 10 year since I joined.
So yeah, I love this site. This site has been with my from the moment I found online reading until now. I think I got emotional because some of my fav place to read got taken down. But I’m okay with it as I can read Japanese and I’m one of the translator in a scanlation team. Reason I open the forum is because I couldn’t find any other place to talk about manga, I tried twitter but imo it’s too toxic, then discord is filled with immature stuff or dead silence. I think I will lurk here more. So far the people in the discussion seems nice. Cheers and hope everyone is having a nice day 🙂

Welcome! I'm new here too (had an ancient account too).

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into learning Japanese?

Yeah, I wholly agree with what you said. People just wanna say their thing and go on. I'm trying to be super open-minded and have open conversations, but it's a struggle.

I think I can relate to you quite a bit. In my previous go to's and many current options being filled with toxicity, too much politics in a place for fandom, and mods not doing their jobs. A very frustrating problem for someone who just wants to share interests.

Mangaupdates is a nice place in that it's quite peaceful. 🙂 Folk here seem friendly and non-judgemtal so I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Thank you for our encounter~

I thought I'd been on here for many years, but apparently it's only been two?! How does time work?

But I've never used the forum. It seems like I've been missing out.
