  • When a Magician’s Pupil Smiles

    When a Magician’s Pupil Smiles

    It’s a really interesting concept— main character Ouka Namae doesn’t possess feelings… until he does, in which case, he is overcome with the insatiable desire to kill the one he finds dear to him. The first chapter introduces us to the concept, the second brings in the background with a traitor to magicians, and after…

  • Kenka Bancho Otome: Girl Beats Boys

    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 2

    Here’s a list of tropes I’m adding because of this season: Granted some of these would have been fine to add before but it just hit me like a truck this time. This season we get to see more of the class— when Iruma has his evil cycle, he puts them purposefully into the spotlight.…

    The Untamed Beastiary: A Field Guide to Marvelous Monsters

    I got this in a Kickstarter and had to get it back after my divorce (embarrassing) (worth it) (i like this book). I’ve had it sitting aside because I just really liked how it looked, but I, um. I never actually sat down to read it. The book really lives in the spirit of the…

    Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun Season 1

    ISEKAI’D BY: Being Sold! I read up to the Battler Party arc but fell off the wagon (this is a common theme, isn’t it?) and so picked up the anime. First off: ear worm opening. It’s funny and very anime. “Why do you keep saying that?” Because there are times when anime is anime and…

  • Crime Scene Cleaner

    Crime Scene Cleaner

    I really like this game. I like cleaning games and this one tickles the itch just right. I also ended up using this game to test how my computer was doing during the horrible Serial Crashing of November ’24-January ’25. It pretty reliably knocked my computer out (along with a huge chunk of games I…
