To sum up Tokimeki Memorial - Only Love in the best way I could without giving spoilers:

Pretend your an egg, freshly laid from your mother hen. You feel joy to the world as in a matter of days you will hatch and become a cute little baby chick. Then all of a sudden an old lady picks you up as well as your brother and sister eggs beside you and places you in a basket. Your thinking, "this old lady must think we're cold so is putting us some place we could hatch in a warmer environment, oh how kind she is!".

Then you realize ...

As a fan of Tenchi Muyo and its franchise, Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari, would have to be if not the best spin-off that's come out to date. Bear in mind, my review will be very biased due to nostalgia playing a big part(having grown up to Tenchi anime instead of Pokemon or Dragonball)

Whilst there are subtle references to the MC being part of the Tenchi Muyo universe(TenchiVerse), I doubt it would be enough for anyone to think that they would need to watch the past franchise before starting this series.

Story: 6
The story itself is pretty generic and is about a boy who is summoned to ...

Ga-Rei (Manga) add
I came across Ga-Rei wanting to know how the manga panned out after events to the anime adaptation Ga-Rei Zero(prequel to this manga which aired in 2008).

Unfortunately, like an over-hyped Hollywood blockbuster, Ga-Rei had potential to go places in regards to being a manga-worthy favorite, but did not live up to its anime counterpart due to what I thought was a 'rushed' ending.

For those who have not seen the anime, although not a necessary watch as the manga does cover background to some of the characters, I do recommend viewing anyways if you would like to get the emotional feelings that is lacking in the ...

"You're the first man who's ever made me wear pants" - Niche

If a line like that by the 2nd chapter, doesn't strike your attention as amusing than Letter Bee(or Tegami Bachi in Jap) may not be the manga for you.

I was first attracted to this manga through the anime adaptations 1st season which had aired recently, and wanting to know what happened after ep.25 piqued my interest to read on.

Story - 8
Without going into detail and providing spoilers; TB is a unique tale on its own which escapes from the mediocrity of school life stories which seems to be the common setting for most manga ...

Q and A (Manga) add
Preliminary (10/35 chp)
"If you've seen one, you've seen them all"

....is what I would like to say when it comes to Adachi's manga Q&A, but I would be lying.

If your familiar with Adachi's past work, you would commonly know him famous for his genres on shōnen tales of sports with a touch of high school romance. Cross Game being the latest to add to his collection. In a few of his stories, the main character would lose someone important in their life who would eventually mold that characters future(if you've read Touch you'll know what I mean). In Q&A, Adachi has outdone himself this time by amalgamating ...

Ushio to Tora (Manga) add
Story: 9
For those familiar with Rumiko Takahashi's 'InuYasha', will see a similar partnership that both Ushio and Tora have as they battle many of Japan's supernatural folklore in this epic manga.

At first you may come across this tale as your typical shōnen genre of boy receiving some sort of power(in this case Ushio receiving the beast spear) and using it to fight for justice, but once you delve further into the story and get to know the characters, you will learn that there is more than meets the eye, and will come across a classic that spans to 33 volumes of awesomeness that is Ushio ...

Princesses: an epitome of nobility, kindness and purity...women loved to be them and men loved to be with them...

...or so Haru thought as he and 2 of his colleagues Natsumi and Touma are assigned to be princess Amano Terass's bodyguards.

Amanoiwato Hime is a gag manga which I found to be very amusing as, although the whole 'princess and her bodyguard story' have been played out in the past, to have it done comically in a manga(and done well) is new premise.

Amanoiwato Hime is prelude to the up-coming manga titled 'NEET Princess Terrass', so you may class this as a one-shot prologue broken into 6 ...

When it comes to the the supernatural, you'll have to admit that blood suckers we commonly know as vampires, would have to be one of the most romantic creatures to grace the pages of fictional history. From Bram Stoker's immortal Dracula to the modern vampires you see on movies to the TV screen.

Dance in the Vampire Bund is no exception if your after a seinen tale of romance, action and most of all the supernatural. Whilst there are common traits to which some may already know as vampire lore, there are also a few changes that give the story some originality and aimed to ...

Ever wondered what super villains do on their days off from trying to conquer the world?

Hajimete no Aku is a romantic comedy about what goes behind the scenes for 'so called villains' fitting into a society they are trying to take over.

As per what the synopsis has already mentioned, HnA is about Kyoko and how she educates diabolical villain and inventor, Jiro to modern society(eg. school). Along the way she gets to know more about Jiro and his family's 'evil' organization, and Jiro learns more about his new found emotions(whilst trying to scout Kyoko to be his underling).

The concept of 'heroes/villains are humans too' is ...

Mixed Feelings
A Nyan Koi rip-off? Not really. For those who have read the synopsis and went on that basis, let me stop you there. While the similarities of cat-allergies are familiar to each anime, that's pretty much it that each tale will share.

After episode 1, I was actually surprised to want to watch the next episode due to how close the show stuck to the manga's storyline. With a long line of let-downs in the last year for adaptations, I had made sure not too have to much of an expectation for this show, and I'm glad I did as its proven to be just above ...
