Submit Nominations Here

Previous Thread | Next Thread

Hey everybody! A couple days ago, @Nineswords@ani.social reached out to me with an idea. Why don’t we try to set up some year-end awards for the communities we moderate? Well, a bit of back and forth, and today, I am glad to announce that we have opened nominations for the 2024 Lemmy Manga Awards. The nomination round will remain open until I post next week’s general discussion thread (usually late Sunday/early Monday US time). Note that there are partner awards for the anime and light novel communities as well.

Like normal, feel free to also use this thread just like you would a normal discussion thread.

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).

    Alright, I managed to dig into my backlog from vacation quite a bit. I even found some new series that I checked out this week. Two in particular I really enjoyed:

    I really enjoyed this one. It is a romcom where one person is desperate to find true love only to see her efforts spurned. Meanwhile, the other person is jaded and cynical about love, but respects her efforts to seek it out. Only three chapters on Mangadex so far (with 30 chapters total in the series), but I am eagerly awaiting more.

    I just spent most of my free time this past weekend blasting through this series. It is quite a strange setup, but I found it quite fun. Basically, two girls both like the same guy in their class, but, despite how much they obsess over him (the titular Kirio), they never seem to work up the courage to do much of anything about it. In fact, Kirio’s face doesn’t appear in the series at all and he is mostly a side/background character a lot of the time. Instead, the series mostly focuses on these two girls and their silly antics.

    These girls are weird, like really weird, but hilarious at the same time. If you are looking for a pair to compare them to, I would say they are like a more awkward version of the girls from The Gals Who Always Say Insane Things minus the superpowers. Their dynamic is so much fun.
