Honestly, open-ended endings irk me a lot. The reason I’m talking about this is because recently, I finished reading Dagashi Kashi, a manga which I really liked, and it had kind of an open-ended ending. The real reason why I’m talking about open-ended endings is because of a book series I finished recently. Readers be…
An Address To The Revelations Of Go-toubun No Hanayome(Quintessential Quintuplets) ch85
I must preface this by saying that if you have not read ch85 of Go-toubun No Hanayome- Sisters’ War: Seventh Battle(Backside), then this should act as sufficient warning. This post contains heavy spoilers for one pretty big element of the story, so act accordingly. You have been warned. I think enough time has passed that…
A Basic Analysis Of The Spring 2019 Anime Season
As I have mentioned many times before, I’m not very partial to doing reviews and stuff because they’re to mechanical. Each individual’s experience is different. Contrary to my earlier point, I love analysing trends and patterns and elements of any form of media. Since Spring 2019 is one of the few anime seasons I have…
Dagashi Kashi Is The Perfect Summer Time Anime/Manga
I have a habit of picking up popular manga later than expected. Browsing through the myriads of categories of manga, there are many series which escape my notice or are flat out ignored by me until I decide to pay more attention to them. Dagashi Kashi is one such series. I regret not picking it…
A Personal Story That’s Embarrassing For Me As An Otaku
So to celebrate my return, let me start off the stream of backlogged articles with a meta post, a more personal story keeping in theme with this website’s motto, ‘The Musings Of A Veteran Otaku’ and it is exactly due to that motto that this incident I’m about to relate to you is so embarrassing….
Horimiya: An Amazingly New Type Of Shoujo
I know you guys must be thinking, “Oh nooooooo! Another post that is not about Tonikaku Kawaii even though Kami said he would do a post about Tonikaku Kawaii!”. I know, I’m sorry, but I just had to talk about Horimiya. Also, you know how I was supposed to be binging A Will Eternal, well…
The First Chinese Light Novel You Should Read: Renegade Immortal
It may not be apparent from looking at this blog, but I love reading chinese light novels, even more so than most japanese light novels. There is just something about most chinese light novels, the characters they present, the basic chinese hero’s journey archetype ninety-nine percent of CLNs follow, the badass and overpowered main characters,…
The Duke Of Death And His Black Maid: A Psychological Masterpiece Hidden Behind A Fuzzy Romance
So this post was originally supposed to be about Tonikaku Kawaii/Cawaii, Hata Kenjirou, the mangaka behind Hayate No Gotoku’s new manga serialization and a manga I absolutely fell in love with the moment I read it. However, as is the curse that afflicts all otaku, my never ending thirst for new reading material lead me…
Eguchi-kun Wa Minogasanai: A God-Tier Casual Ecchi
So there are some manga which completely consume you, which take hold of your life and don’t let it go until they are completed. A good example of such a manga would be Domestic Na Kanojo; but there are also some manga which you can pick up anytime, anywhere and still be happy reading it….
Eguchi-kun Wa Minogasanai , this is not a proper article
So the english translation of Eguchi-kun Wa Minogasanai, or Eguchi-kun Doesn’t Miss A Thing just finished today. This manga by Nozawa Yukiko is fucking awesome. Go read it. I can’t write an entire post right now, but after finishing of the manga, I had to write something about, spread the word of our little god….
