Hello, i'm Tricky.

I have been reading SSSS for literally years but this is the first time I have decided to reach out to the community. I speak English, Hindi and Japanese and I currently live in the Midwest of the US, but I will be studying in Japan once September rolls around.

I used to have a tradition where I would reread the comic once it started to be cold outside, it was a fun way of welcoming in the winter season. This last read through apparently really got to me though because now my google shopping recommendations include things like the Kalevala (which I have yet to read  :( ) and baby carriers for my cat (who adopted me, but I didn't resist, back in December)

Reading SSSS brings out so much creative energy in me, I have always been able to imagine elaborate worlds in my head but my favorite may always be the SSSS world. I owe a lot of joy to this comic and I want to get to know everyone else who loves it just as much as I do.

lets be friends!!!
It never hurts to give thanks to the local Gods. You never know who might be hungry.
Fluent: :usa:  Yes: :japan:  Enough: :germany: :mexico: And Hindi!

Welcome, Tricky! Glad you're reaching out :) Are you going to Japan for a study-abroad program?

Heya everyone! I'm Rinpa!
I'm from Finland and I live in a small town which is a part of Kanta-Häme. I'm a native Finnish speaker and I speak English almost fluently. I'm currently studying Swedish and German in school, but I'm very bad at both.
I got into SSSS very recently when compared to most here, only during this summer. A friends friend recommended it to me, and I binged all the pages in a few days. I fell in love with the writing and characters instantly, and I hope to buy the hardcover books someday.
The youtube video about 'self-fanart' Minna made gave me the push I needed to finally start my own webcomic, so I'm glad to her about that too!
I'm not very good with forums such as this, so I'll most likely resort to lurking for the most part, but I still hope to meet new people and chat about fun things!

Hello!

I made it here! Mostly because Disqus won’t let me post or reply at the moment, but also because the Gods of the Interner smiled upon me and let my registration through after only about five errors. Last time I tried I got tired of trying.

Soo, I’m a Finnish fan, old enough to have teenage sons. I got hooked early this year (2019) and binged Adventure One. Adventure Two had already began, but I tried to hold off for a while to avoid waiting. It didn’t work. So for a while now I’ve been actively commenting on the page comments and spreading Haikus and sometimes other poetry, as well as various tidbits I can dig up because of being a native speaker of Finnish. Irritatingly I have work and family, which consume a lot of time that could otherwise be spent on SSSS!  :haw:

Also you can totally look me in the eyes. There is no hive mind or anything. At all. Promise!

Hello Jitter, and welcome to the forum!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Might just be a Disqus thing, then.

Yeah I figured it probably is Disqus as there doesn’t seem to be any activity at all. Let’s try and wait it out!
