Kimi no Iru Machi chapters 41-50 – Himuro the Necromancer

This week’s chapters followed events after Nanami turned Haruto down, with summer coming to a close and Rin departing for Tokyo. School begins again and the characters begin preparing for an upcoming school festival. Haruto and Yuzuki are part of the planning committee along with classmates Kikukawa Kotone and Himuro. Kotone seems extremely shy but [...]

Kimi no Iru Machi chapters 31-40 – I Ain’t Even Mad

Apologies for the delay, got a bit off track last week. This week’s chapters focused on the characters’ summer break and the lead up to the town’s summer festival, as well as the festival itself. The timing of the chapters was rather convenient, since it nicely stops for my week’s reading at a big confession [...]

Kimi no Iru Machi chapters 21-30 – All In The Family

This week the chapters revolved around two things. One, a secret that ended up being not quite the reveal one might think it would be. A second, and most significantly, a trip to Tokyo where Yuzuki’s family is seen for the first time. Haruto (sigh, of course) comes along for the trip and ends up [...]

Kimi no Iru Machi chapter 11-20 – Highway to the FRIEND ZONE

Things get a bit more complicated with the introduction of Akari and her crush, and how Haruto has to try and balance helping her and managing his own life. Things get a bit predictable later on in this, but there is a sudden confession that lurches things forward between Haruto and Nanami. But more factors [...]

Kimi no Iru Machi chapters 1-10 – Hopping On The Ragewagon

With the OVA recently released, I figured that now would be a good time to get to reading Kimi no Iru Machi, a series that I’ve heard so very much about. Howls of rage and sadistic laughter echo through the halls of the anibloggotwittersphere, and the sane speak in hushed whispers of something about “a [...]

Amagami SS+ episode 13 – Our Savior, Miya

Through Miya, all things are possible. The series comes to a close with a fanservice episode that ended up not being all that fanservicey, thankfully. While it was set in an onsen spa and there was fanservice, it actually wasn’t too bad for the most part. That said, it wasn’t quite the first Haruka or [...]

The April Fools Return of Toonami – Night of the Nostalgia Bomb

Amagami SS+ episode 12 – The Proposal

The last arc (but not episode) of Amagami SS+ concludes the second Haruka arc with the story of how Junichi and Haruka came to be married. Overall the story wasn’t bad, just a bit short like all the two-episode arcs have been. But I think, in this final arc, that I’ve finally lost all patience with [...]

Amagami SS+ episode 11 – What Is This, Hibiki Doesn’t Even…

Now on to the final arc of Amagami SS+, ending the sequel where the original began. Unfortunately it’s not as far into the future as I expected. Considering that the other arcs have been going in something like chronological order, I expected this one to start off post-graduation for Haruka, at least. Especially given the [...]
