    Even Given the Worthless Appraiser Class, I’m Actually the Strongest

    Harem Scale H: Ein is a good shounen protag. He’s selfless, determined, does the “always stands up” thing, and sticks to his guns, always. A: Ein views this as a journey to give Yuri her family back and does not think of it as harem building. R: Yuri x Ein is clear endgame, however the

    My New Boss is Goofy

    PLEASE ALL I WANT IS FOR THEM TO KISS Okay. That ‘s out of the way. I fucking love this series. I rewatched the first half with Karen because I was so condiment she would be into it. This series is so soft I can probably be happy watching it once a month even though

    I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time

    Bro, so, uh. This opening has absolutely no reason to go this hard. It legitimately looks better than the actual episodes. I. I admittedly. Have just sat and watched it a few times. The fuckin dinosaur and everything. Honestly, I really want to read the manga now because I. I want to see what else…

    I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss

    Y’all have no idea how jazzed I was to see that this is an anime. I’ve read the manga a few times, but the manga stops right after she successfully stops the Demon Lord from changing. Imagine my surprise at the second half of the series!! And I also am collecting the light novel series

    I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! Season 1

    Harem Scale H: Yuke has a pretty solid sense of justice. That sense is shared by Clover (the party). A: Yuke is very aware of the fact that he is the only man in a party of women and brings it up repeatedly. He is actively trying to support the women and tries not to

    ISEKAI’D BY: Summoning! Harem Scale H: MC has the good sense to always try to help people. A: MC is very aware of the fact that all the women are very hot with tits out to there, but at the same time, he isn’t aware that they adore him. R: Uchimura and Ulmandra. Ulmandra is

    The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest

    So I only made it through 6 episodes. Usually when I drop anything, it’s because it’s offensively bad. This is not the case. I dropped this because… it’s not… great. It’s not bad, either. It’s mediocre. Middle of the road. It sure does exist and it sure does sit comfortably in the tropes. It doesn’t

    Kenka Bancho Otome: Girl Beats Boys

    Harem Scale H: MC has a lot of empathy and is the type to defend A: MC is not angling for it. She’s in an all-boy’s school, so being surrounded by men is par for the course. R: It’s a companion anime to an otome game, so… there’s the kinda romantic and yet masculine relationships.

    Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun Season 3

    I feel like with every season, this show gets even better and the budget goes absolutely nuts. (spoiler videos) This season is mostly the Harvest Festival, but he do have some training montage stuff in the beginning where Iruma finally learns how to fight! Bachiko is a fun character, and we spend more time developing

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
