Am I Actually the Strongest? 1-2
ISEKAI’D BY: Goddess! Harem Scale H: He feels an obligation to impress his sister and protect the family that picked him up after he was thrown away by his birth family. A: As there are only two members, he is not quite aware yet. R: No romance to speak of; he sort of thinks of

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.

Let This Grieving Soul Retire

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 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.

Starbrew Cafe
This is a guilty pleasure. I have not beaten this game because I hate microtransactions and have purposefully made it very hard for me to buy things through games because I am terribly worried that I might slip up. I’ve got a real love/hate relationship with mobile games because I become very very aware of

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

How I Became King By Eating Monsters #1
Eat Or Die! The first prince of the kingdom of Farune, Mars, is only twelve years old, yet he lives in fear of assassination. In order to avoid the deadly poison in nearly all of his meals, he slips out of the castle into the nearby monster-infested forest, where, battling monsters and his own hunger,
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Accidentally in Charge
Through no fault of their own, the main character has been placed in charge of a group of people who admire and may even worship them. The main character typically tries to act in the best interest of everyone around them, showing a facade of competence and mastery in order to live up to expectations, but suffer from imposter syndrome otherwise.
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.
