The Dangers in My Heart – 07 – All I See Is You
I have no doubt that if Ichikawa took Yamada aside and asked her out, she’d accept on the spot. Unfortunately, Ichikawa doesn’t know this, so he looks her up on Google instead, and learns she’s on a TV show every Tuesday evening. He just misses the week’s broadcast, but will surely try to catch the … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 07 – All I See Is You"
The Dangers in My Heart – 06 – Realizing the Obvious
After they miss their train, Yamada starts to cry. Ichikawa wrongly assumes she’s embarrassed to be there just with him. He says they’ll just get the next train. He buys her the milk tea she likes. But what ends up cheering her up is his regret he didn’t loudly declare to the group that he … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 06 – Realizing the Obvious"
The Dangers in My Heart – 05 – Team of Dummies
Ichikawa’s class is told to form groups of six “with similar interests” for upcoming workplace visits.

When Kanzaki has an opportunity … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 05 – Team of Dummies"
I’m in Love with the Villainess – 08 – Labors of Love
Well now, our kooky isekai lesbian rom-com has suddenly taken a turn towards the serious and dramatic. Since it’s dealt with serious matters before—like Rae opening up about her sexuality, or Claire’s past family trauma—this isn’t entirely out of left field. But it still toes a fine line, trying to have its usual goofy moments … Continue reading "I’m in Love with the Villainess – 08 – Labors of Love"
The Dangers in My Heart – 04 – Big With Me Right Now
Surprise! Upon further deliberation, I’ve decided to get back into Dangers in My Heart, as it fell by the wayside in a very crowded Spring 2023 season. I didn’t dislike it, I just felt I didn’t have enough time to enjoy it. But as it’s maintained a rating well above 8 on MAL with a second season … Continue reading "The Dangers in My Heart – 04 – Big With Me Right Now"

The Apothecary Diaries – 07 – A Hairpin Away from Home
Unlike most teenagers, Maomao is not accustomed to sleeping in until noon, but when she does, she dreams of home; specifically, while on a walk with her elderly father. Gyokuyou and the other ladies-in-waiting insisted she take some time off after being poisoned, not understanding that it was an honor, not an ordeal, due to her … Continue reading "The Apothecary Diaries – 07 – A Hairpin Away from Home"

Ryuuto has a lovely dream where he’s living on the beach with Runa, only to wake up to find he’s actually living the dream.

I’m in Love with the Villainess – 07 – The Noble and the Commoner
The president of the Knights asks Rae to find someone to train everyone in proper service technique, and she chose Lene.

However, it works, and she whips nobles and commoners alike … Continue reading "I’m in Love with the Villainess – 07 – The Noble and the Commoner"
