This is Yabuuchi Yuu’s “Mizuiro Jidai”. This is her story, her journey, of coming to understand the world – ever so gently. As this chronicles the pivotal events in Yuuko’s three years in middle school, Yabuuchi tells her story as she would tell to her younger self, with guidance and reassurance.

If you might not have noticed, Yuuko kawai sounds very similar to kawaii Yuu ko, which is literally cute Yuu child (same kanji for Yuu, the author’s name). This is Yabuuchi’s fond memory. We view along with Yuuko her issues of life, of love, of friendship, of fate, and of the feelings that she ...

This is my first anime review here on MyAnimeList, so here goes!

Mizuiro Jidai is such a pure and heartwarming coming of age anime. The story focuses on our protagonist Kawai Yuuko who is a friendly yet sometimes clumsy girl figuring out who she is as she lives out her last year of middle school.

The art is very 90's and the soundtrack is soft and soothing, fitting for the series.

The show tackles topics that I believe stay relevant even after the 'Aqua Age' ...

Preliminary (9/47 eps)
criminally underrated. I found this anime not a very long time ago and it feels like forbidden lost media. It's one of the best romance animes out there. Being as young as the protagonist, Yuuko Kawai, I could relate to her in an astral level fr.
Not only this is wholesome as heck, it's very entertaining, it's the type of anime you say "one more episode" and you end up watching 20 more episodes. The story is a typical rom slice of life focused on the protagonist, a young girl who falls in love with her childhood friend. it sounds very cliché but when you ...

Anime in Real Life: Harajuku

Today's topic is the area inside Shibuya that made it big in the 90's with Gwen Stefani's hit song "Harajuku Girls". Harajuku has gained a reputation for being the center of alternative fashion such as decorer, gothic lolita, and punk. But in reality, it's much less strange than you'd think!
