And I’m back with the continuation of my read-through of Fruits Basket as I try to remember if my childhood memories of this series are as good as I think they are. So far, we’ve read the first volume of the collector’s edition series from Yen Press which had chapters 1-12. Today, we’re continuing on … More Fruits Basket Manga Read-Through: Collector’s Edition Volume Two
It’s been such a long time since I’ve thought about Fruits Basket. It was one of the first shoujo manga I ever read and I think I still have some of the original manga volumes. But manga was expensive for a middle-schooler in those days, rising to 10 dollars per volume in high school, so … More Fruits Basket Manga Read-Through: Collector’s Edition Volume One
This anime has to be one of the most talked about of last season, and for good reason. This is another contender for top show of the Winter season for me as it is just all-around a great series in terms of animation, story, and characters.

I’ve thought about … More Waxing Philosophical: Piercings as a Form of Self-Harm in Horimiya
One of my goals for this year and in restarting my use of Twitter was to try and keep myself updated on what’s going on in the industry and better follow new releases from all sorts of publishers. I’ve seen this manga pop up a bunch of times on my Twitter feed from Shoujo Beat, … More The Young Master’s Revenge Manga Review: Volume 1
For some reason it’s been super hard for me to write this review. I’ve probably started and stopped writing this about three times so far. I went back and rewatched the whole series after stopping at episode four last season just to remind my brain what I actually thought of it as a whole. Maybe … More Citrus and Why I’m so Critical of Yuri
Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart snuck up on me last year. I didn’t realize it was airing until after the season was over, and it wasn’t until now that I had the chance to actually watch it. I also didn’t know that this short, 6-episode series is supposed to be a sequel … More Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart Anime Review

Konbini Kareshi was one of those animes that I wound up dropping after about four episodes last season. I decided now was probably a good time to revisit what made me drop it and find out if it actually got any better in the following episodes. … More Konbini Kareshi (Convenience Store Boyfriends) Anime Review
