Buddhist temples around Japan engage in joya no kane (midnight bell ringing) as the new year passes. The 108 bell rings are said to rids the world of Earthly desires. But Earthly or not, those desires persist with our want to see New Year's greetings from around the anime and manga world:

Update: We were informed the Kaori Mori New Year's greeting is from a fan account. We did not properly check the account before publishing the article. We have replaced the greeting with Shōko Nakagawa's New Year's greeting.
