Gushing over Magical Girls – 10 – Matchmaker Baiser
Even when they were small, Matama always loved to sing, and Nemo hid in the shadows. No one would listen to Matama, and no one would play with Nemo. They essentially became friends because no one else would have them and it worked out for both of them. Now that Matama has decided she’s joining … Continue reading "Gushing over Magical Girls – 10 – Matchmaker Baiser"

The Dangers in My Heart – 21 – Thanatos vs. Pigman
Kyoutarou, which is what Anna has decided to call him now (and I hope he calls her Anna at some point!), wakes up to find her in his bathroom brushing her teeth. It’s like they’re already married! As is Kyoutarou’s M.O., he suspects this good fortune is some kind of a portent of doom for … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 21 – Thanatos vs. Pigman"
A Sign of Affection – 09 – Laid-Back Mini-Glamp
While still primarily a shoujo romance, this week’s Sign offered up a heaping helping of iyashikei goodness, and not just because most of it took place during a camping trip. From Rin and Yuki trying on outfits to the gang playing a word chain wishing game on the car ride, the warm, cozy vibes are infectious, and … Continue reading "A Sign of Affection – 09 – Laid-Back Mini-Glamp"
Urusei Yatsura – 31 – Shinobu in Futureland
Miyake Shinobu has terrible luck in men, who always seem be freaks like the lip monster or pervs like Ataru. She asks Sakura to examine whether it’s the result of a curse, but the onmyouji nurse can’t find anything.

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun 2nd Stage – 09 – Process and Outcome
Bless you, Mizusawa, for promptly and firmly calling Tomozaki out on his “masochistic crap”, i.e. his tendency to believe no one would ever choose him. He claims not to care whether or not Mizusawa continues his self-deprecating ways, but when he does it, he upsets people who like him … like Mimimi. Tomozaki can even … Continue reading "Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun 2nd Stage – 09 – Process and Outcome"
Gushing over Magical Girls – 09 – Out of the Shadows
This week Tres Magia is reduced to bookends, content to train in the wilderness. That said, when she tries to meditate under a waterfall, Sayo only ends up getting turned on by the weight of the water and how wet she’s getting. When the trio bathe together, she covers up her breasts, still remembering what … Continue reading "Gushing over Magical Girls – 09 – Out of the Shadows"
Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! – 08 – Their Best Selves
With Tsubasa no longer in danger of being shipped back to Tokyo, I figured the drama would shift to the romantic, as Rena seems to be making a hard play on our boy. But no, no drama! When Minami hears Tsubasa is on a date, not only does she rush to the mall to watch … Continue reading "Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! – 08 – Their Best Selves"
The Dangers in My Heart – 20 – Birthday Wishes
We begin with a White Day misunderstanding, as under his gyaru mom’s orders, Adachi tosses thank you cookies into Moeko’s shoe locker a little too nonchalantly, and they fall out. Just as Yamada and Moeko are rounding the corner, they see Ichikawa putting the cookies … into Yamada’s shoe locker by mistake. Adachi manages to actually … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 20 – Birthday Wishes"
A Sign of Affection – 08 – Waiting for Right Now to Pass
When Itsuomi introduces Yuki as his girlfriend, he’s shocked. Not because Yuki can’t hear, or isn’t a foreigner from Itsuomi’s frequent travels, but because it means Emma has to be told Itsuomi is officially off the market. It also means that Shin can pursue her without worrying about hurting Itsuomi. The only problem is, after … Continue reading "A Sign of Affection – 08 – Waiting for Right Now to Pass"
