[general-thinks]

to celebrate the anime + manga development, i was wondering, when did you start reading komi-san? for me i started reading it when the most recent chapter was the bike practice chapter

Oooh! That bring me so much memories!!

Ok, so, first of all thank you anon for this message, because it's a really cool question that I sometimes ask myself how I would respond if someone asked me so.

Then, to the actual question at hand, the first chapter that I read in par with everyone else of the fandom were the first year's Valentines arc. I started to read the actual manga the week before, after the tenth time I saw @carnival-phantas post about this shy and cute "anime" girl.

I remember the sheer excitement in seeing Komi, Onemine and Kaede preparing the chocolates for the day after, and once I reached the end of the chapter and saw no 'next chapter' I felt hollow inside.

On a unrelated note, I remember that my first post about Komi was the chapter where Komi brings Tadano his chocolates (or around then), since I was going apeshit and I needed to vent to someone about the emotions I felt back then.

#then I saw I actually got rome notes and I thought to myself #'hm why not. let's keep doing this #apparently there's people who like my ramblings' #and then I started to excange messages about the chapters with cartoonfanorwhatever and zer0crazy #the biggest blogs that back then posted in the komi tag and interacted with my posts too #and the rest is history #if I don't remember wrong I met midnight-sloth and arcade-lackey in the same way #midnight for sharing with her the link of a new chapter I think to remember #and arcade beacuse he replied to a post of mine and we couldn't stop talking to each other #it's-3-am too I meet in the komi tags because his shitposts are the peak of comedy #I miss old boogs that used to interact with my blog like frankiemorga #got deactivated one day and still today I miss them #but I meet a lot of cool people too like tsunesama renamon weaponscomplex worange bobstropajo #halfblood-writer catgirlhightights coffee-fueled-sloth a-hobbit-of-the-shire topiyas... #and those are just some of the first people that come to mind when I think of my experience in the Komi-san fandom #(you think I would forget you!?
