Puppet Marin (complete with bowl of rice and chopsticks) might be my favorite thing I have seen in a long time.

At some point, Sakuta is going to stop neglecting Mai in favor of other cute girls, right? Right?

Some intriguing developments this week.

Been looking forward to this story arc.

My first ever light novel gave me a very different look at a pretty significant series and one I tend to love.

Finish helping another person get their life in order, and this time, Sakura doesn't even have to do much.

Continue to give Gojo the pieces of the puzzle he needs to finally grow out of his shell.

It's a hard knock life...

What an amazing anime...for like the first fifteen eps or so. Then Anno went all Anno and it fell apart. Super shame. It was really cooking. Would love to see them try again. The manga's great.

It's not like I see hype images like this like this one of the VAs and get upset or anything. Certainly not.

This is me being not bitter that Fragrant Flowers is delayed until September in North America. Could have been a legendary romcom/romdram season, but it's fine. I'm not upset. Just gonna go sit in the corner and cry a bit.

More puberty syndrome. It's almost like being a teenager is hard or something.

Don't mind me if I'm a gushing swirl of joy for the next twelve weeks.

Loved this series so much. Made me think a lot of things and not come up with a definitive answer to any of them.

Wish it had a better, more accurate title, though.

To be fair, it says "Generic" right in the title, so I'm not sure what you were expecting.

Also, the Adam Warren run(s) of Dirty Pair (which also ran in Manga Mania) were very eye opening to a teenaged me.

In Britain, we had a magazine in the 90s called Manga Mania. Dark Horse publication, I think. Got the entire run of Akira, SIlent Moebius, Appleseed, and more over the years. Amazing magazine, but so weird to think now just how mindblowing having it was when we can read just about everything now.

Or, just keep buying bigger and bigger hard drives and become a digital hoarder like me. Why delete when you can spend ridiculous amounts of money in order to keep everything that you'll clearly never look at again?

I told you we’d be back

The penultimate episode feels more like a finale, but @mdthomas.bsky.social has one more to go before he can wrap this sportsball series up. And get ready for some summer shows on his docket.

I'm shocked that a series that was delayed upon release as much as this one was would be delayed on DVD/BD release, too. Shocked, I says!

Still a great series and highly recommended, though.

At least it's cute! Super duper cute.

I've read the first couple of chapters of this. Definitely a lot of potential for fun.

I do the same. I use Calibre for my eBooks, but for .cbz, it's just as easy to unzip them. No need to bother with extra software.

Our friend @mdthomas.bsky.social is catching up on things today by taking us out to the ballpark!
