A great year for anime released, but a sad one because of all the legends that passed away. Here's in remembrance of all those legends, May their souls rest in peace.

2021, another chapter completed! ?
If there's one thing we Anime fans can all agree on; it's the fact that 2021 was one of the best years in the History of the animanga industry. True, the world has never understood our "taste~", but now more than ever can we be proud!
To 2022!
