Inu X Boku SS Episode 11: This is…the story of a boy…

Not holding any surprises this time, and if you have been watching last week’s preview this episode is very much centered on Soushi’s life from childhood to adult (pre-Secret Service life). We get to know how writing letters to Ririchiyo (in Kagerou’s place) for years has turned his life around for the better. Now we [...]

Inu X Boku Episode 9 & 10: Enter the torture chamber

Forget the coffee, we got Kagerou! All you human chamberpots, I’m going to make this short and quick ’cause I wanna go **** on my fiancee after this! Don’t forget to bring some popcorn for this. I don’t play gentle at anything, be it sports, cooking duels or washing dishes for puny ants!

Natsume’s Book of Friends s.4: Feelings vs. Duty in the Exorcists’ World

Rather, that episode focusses on another female figure, as does [...]

Inu X Boku Episodes 6 & 7: Is it dinner time yet?

With this post being way overdue, good thing episode 6 aren’t having the main pair as the main focus at this point. It’s not a bad thing since Ririchiyo and Soushi are given top priority in the past 5 episodes (but came back in the seventh) and all we know of the other characters are [...]

The Song of Noe: A Mock Epic Poem

So this is actually the last post in the Valentine’s Day shipping series, but I didn’t want to post it on Valentine’s Day itself. As anyone who’s watched True Tears knows, it’s a bit of a downer. So I thought I’d save this for the day after the holiday. But now, gather, ye brothers and sisters [...]
