Unironically a 10?! You’d go into this manga thinking that it would be some weird comedy or satire, especially with the title “Molester Man.” Once you read it, you find that it’s actually a fantastic rom-com/drama about an incel slowly becoming a great person. This is also the most “real” anime romance that I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t often feel “played-up.” They don’t go to the aquarium, the school festival, the beach, or watch the fireworks at the big town festival. It’s a very realistic story of a guy becoming a real person to the point at which HE became the master of his own

Goodness. Wow. This manga is incredible. I have no idea why this series isn’t more well-known. A famous author duo writes it! Charming, witty, so adorable, legitimately tense and interesting, it has it all!
It feels like a combination of an adorable romance and Yu-Gi-Oh in the best way possible. A love letter to the late ‘90s and to MTG. As a person who never grew up in the ‘90s nor ever played MTG, I adore this manga. It really does make you fall in love with its characters and its story. I really hope this series can be translated someday. It deserves to be more ...

Reading this series for the first time, six years removed from when it ended, I have to say that I legitimately enjoyed Toriko. It has an absolutely wonderful world, the kind you just want to get lost in. A fantastic cast of characters with different, truly unique kinds of powers. The beginning is a little slow, but some of the arcs later on are just incredible. The Pair arc in particular is especially amazing. People complain that the end was too rushed, but I honestly don’t think it was too bad. He did the quickening of the pace pretty well. Reading it all at once

Flavors of Youth is an anthology film like no others that I have seen. It resonated with me deeply in the way that people say Your Name did for them. It primarily focuses on the feelings and experiences we have during youth and the effects and consequences that we might have from them many years in the future.
Story: Each story of the film focuses on a different main character, and their love and want for something. The first film isn’t the best story-wise but is beautifully told through its art. The second film is very character-based and is able to tell a coherent story but ...

Darling in the FranXX
(Anime)
add
Darling in the FranXX began with such potential. A show done by Trigger, a studio well known for amazing anime, and by A-1 Pictures, a studio that has an amazing budget for Trigger to use with Hiroyuki Imaishii storyboarding the show. It began pretty strong and stayed that way until a bit over halfway through the show. The action was better than decent; the character interactions were fun; the drama was alright; everything seemed to be going well. Then, something ended, and the show lost its footing. It had no idea where to go or what to do and became a bad slice-of-life anime, culminating
