posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring LiSA, Doraemon, Blue Archive, F/GO, The irregular at magic high school, Uma Musume, Khara, & more!

When the new year comes around, Japanese people anxiously wait for their nengajō (New Year's greeting postcards) from friends, family, and associates. Often stamped with 賀状新年 (gajō shinnen or greeting in the new year) or 賀状 (gajō or greeting), the postcards are a staple of New Year's. But, with the digital age, those in the anime and manga world can send out their nengajō to all their fans. What sort of greetings do they have for 2025?
