Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun Season 3

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Action, Comedy, Isekai, Shounen

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

Beware the Villainess 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A handsome prince declaring his undying love for you at a grand ball―it’s what every girl dreams of…but not Melissa Foddebrat! She knows that behind his charming smile, Ian is an insufferable, womanizing manchild. She is desperately searching for a way to dump him before he publicly announces their marriage.

Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun Season 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comedy, Fantasy, Isekai, Shounen

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.

I Tamed my Ex-Husband’s Mad Dog 1

Kaíros

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

She never asked for your help. She never asked for you to kill her whole family. Even when you learned that she was the princess, you never stopped to wonder what the situation was. You just clawed your way to her feet and begged her to let you save her.

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.
