To Your Eternity 1-21
I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly…

Outbride: Beauty and the Beasts 1
ISEKAI’D BY: Truck-Kun! Noel is endgame for me. That said, I totally think Mashiro reacts appropriately to being resurrected to be a breeder with four dudes, one of which tries to fuck her like, right away, until another one barges in and basically says, “that’s not fair, bro, we gotta talk about who gets her…

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…

Lout of the Count’s Family #3
Bro, I hadn’t even seen the announcement come out that #3 was released! (I’m behind on my email, leave me alone) Of course I dropped everything and picked it up. After all, the last book left me off right before Raon got his revenge. This one opens right up there. It’s a bit gruesome but…

Clockwork Planet 1 – 3
Harem Scale H: MC will do anything for his clockwork, including the right thing. A: By volume three, he’s aware that he wants to collect more robot girls. R: He’s got a thing going with Ryuzu. E: It’s pretty middling on the fan service, and keeps it to double entendre and phrasing. M: I’m down…

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
Harem Scale H: MC elects to duck out of responsibility and send people on errands, only helping when he might get in trouble. A: He knows that these women are very attached to him and there’s lots of them. He will go on dates. R: He doesn’t really look at any of them romantically. E:…

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…

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. That’s when she spots a…

Lady Devil
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Finally. I finally finished this story. Once, eons ago, I started reading this while it was updating. It was one of those services where you need to unlock chapters with money each time so I (as usual) fell off the horse. Now I have finally read the whole…
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Last Minute Hero
The hero waits until the last second almost every time before finally saving the day, giving all the other characters time to fight and show their resolve. Or… wait to be rescued.
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.
