How I Swapped Places with the Villainess, Beat Up Her Fiancé, and Found True Love 1
ISEKAI’D BY: Truck-Kun! I’m The Villainess, So I’ll Just Beat Up My Problems! After dying in a traffic accident, I wound up in an otome game world. What’s more, I swapped places with a girl named Alexandra. The so-called heroine had already bewitched Alexandra’s fiancé–the second prince–and set her up as the villainess. To make

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 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

Sometimes you just gotta burn that shit down.
M's Media Menagerie
Thoughtful Dumping Grounds
Trope: Power of Friendship
Friends are the main ingredient to success! Because the character has friends they care for, they can power through this— or better yet, their friends swoop in and help them out for the sake of friendship.
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.
