When I thought there would be no more romance anime that starts with the 2 MCs already together, this popped up. And oh boy what a journey this is. It's one of, if not, the best romance anime that starts off with the 2 already together in this season.
Animation. I'm going to be honest, I thought Blade would butcher the animation, but it turns out it was fine. It's not amazing by any means but it's also not too bad either. They nailed the animation. Same as Hokkaido Gal (though I only have reviewed the manga), I felt joy watching the show and don't really
...
have any major complaints about it.
Story/plot. Well, to say this is romance is not really fitting, unless we're talking about Soumei and Hayakawa. Most of the episodes in this anime felt like SOL and I don't really have a complaint of that. In fact, this is exactly what I wanted from romance anime. It felt just like one of the popular Indonesian webtoons called Pasutri Gaje (Weird Married Couple). It captured so many aspects of an office romance, like the struggles, the upbeats, and the journey of the two main characters, it was charming.
Characters. This! This is what I think is a little struggle. I saw the two people on the review in the "Not Recommended" section, they pretty much said that the two MCs felt like high schoolers, and to that, I said, yes! It should be like that. Like, guys, these two just got into dating, literally. They are figuring it out how and that's exactly what the show is all about. To see them grow over time until they are engaged and mature. They acted like high schoolers perfectly capsulated how a "FIRST" time lover is. Unless, again, we talked about Soumei and Hayakawa. Hayakawa has dated before throughout the series she becomes mature and considers her love choices. Soumei, on the other hand, respects Hayakawa. He, being 8 years younger than Hayakawa, makes him more polite and rather more mature even for Masugu and he should. If those two people think a first-time lover needs to be mature right away, well, let me tell you, when you're older, you and your loved one are not going to have a lot of fun. Everything that you do only focuses on life's purpose and seriousness leading you to a boring cycle of life.
Anyway, let's keep going;
OST. Man, I loved both OP and ED. It is so welcoming and calming. The ED in particular, like omg, it's very chill and I get lofi vibes just hearing that over and over. It's like a perfect song before you go to sleep. And the OP, lol, I always shouted that last part. I just can't skip it, like it's hard not to. Other than that, I'll just go ahead and give 2 thumbs up.
VA. I'll be honest here, nothing special. I don't really hear anything that I want to talk about here other than happy that it's absolutely fantastic. Good job guys.
Before closing my review, I would like to thank you AniOne for, once again, providing this anime for viewing free on YouTube. I appreciate it. And I am actually surprised at how many anime I watch this season are from AniOne. You are rock guys, keep it up!
Overall, I give this the same rate as Wotakoi, 9.5/10. I highly recommend this anime to people who love SOLROM anime.

I'll be honest, I wanted to watch this because I heard good things about it but I kinda ended up disappointed because the MC didn't engage with the "harem" that he has. But I get why the author wants to make him like that though, the "harem" that the dude has were literally heroines who didn't get the love of their life, they shouldn't go into a new love target right away. Therefore, the MC, Nukumizu, is a perfect role for the side character, or, as he proclaims, NPC.
Story/plot. Again, I thought this was going to be another one of those harem shows where the
...
girls are in love with the MC of the show but they are not really into him. They saw Nukumizu just as a friend that they used as a confiding place or venting of their love life. Kind of reminded me back in high school. I can relate to that because of how realistic that felt. I got those kinds of people every time when I was in high school and I don't really have a solid idea why. The reason that I can come up with, is that I'm a neutral person, I don't have a lot of friends and I don't get into trouble that much. It felt like I was a perfect person to be this "love guru' where people vent about their love life trouble and I give them barebone advice for free. Which again, I can relate to my guy, Nukumizu.
Character. I feel like, the only person that really grows up a lot is Komari. Our protagonist has a little growth but man, Komari was popping off in her arc. I'm very glad that she became who she is at the end of her arc.
Also, I'm not saying the one that grows is Komari only, but others as well, just not that significant.
OST. As more and more anime I've watched, the type of anime that gets these variations for ending songs is a lot more than I thought. This is one of them. I love the OP don't get me wrong but man, the EDs are taking the wins here. Insane visuals and the song are just divine. Absolutely gorgeous. As for the OST on the anime itself... well I don't think I need to specify it, I just gonna give 2 thumbs up.
VA. You know what I'm just going to skip this one because they all did fantastic.
Overall, I give this 9.6/10. I'll probably continue the story by reading the LN though just because it's a fantastic story and I can relate so much with the MC.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Yostar Pictures for not fucked up this original anime. I appreciated the series as a whole, it is so relaxing to watch and so fun to see Minami and friends just do what they are doing.
Before we get into review though, I have to give them a round of applause. Like holy heck, they went in with this project.
Let me tell you why, but first, you have to look at their YouTube channel to understand what they are doing that I call amazing;
https://www.youtube.com/@sorairo_utility
Usually, extras like reality shows and interviews for a show that originally aired in Japan are only
...
shared on TV from Japan but this anime went, "Nope, we want all people to see our vision of this anime. We want to share those in our channels for the world to see", so, they did exactly that and it's absolutely fantastic.
The first thing that I watch on that channel is obviously the opening (Thanks Masayoshi Ooishi for the op song) then I subscribe to the channel. But as days go on, of course, the YouTube algorithm would recommend videos from a channel you have subscribed and so I was surprised when YouTube recommended this video; https://youtu.be/fKW7vlyKZk4?si=24dStmsMTpfw41i_
That's right! My man, Ooshi, playing golf with his partner that he collaborated with for the making of the OP song. I went and thought to myself, "Huh? They make this available for viewing on YouTube?"
Therefore I watch all the interviews, reality shows, and music on the channel. I am in love with the showrunner, they did a great job to hook me up with the show even more. They also invited the MCs' VAs to play golf too, so I recommend checking that as well.
Anyway, enough glazing! Time for the actual review;
Animation. I have said it in the pilot episode before, the show absolutely gorgeous to look at. The vibrant color, beautiful background picture, the expressive expression, and the smooth animation. It's soooooo good. I wish a lot of SOL anime took this note and used this as standard. I love how Yostar just blows me away with their animation.
Story/plot. It's an SOL anime, so there isn't any but if we want to really see it, well there is some plot in episodes 8 through 11 but it's not really important by any means. It's just to spice up the main characters' arcs, which I enjoy watching.
Character. The development of characters in this anime is nonexistent. I mean it's just girls doing cute things, I don't see a problem in that. The character that I honestly think has grown is Hina. I won't spoil it for you but if you watch it just say that her character development is really cute. I love how she grows in the show.
OST. My man, Ooishi, is in the seat again with another amazing OP song. I am honestly very happy that Ooshi getting a lot of song offers, my man has finally gone to The First Take twice, at the time of writing this review. But anyway, yeah, OSTs are great I don't have any complaints about it.
VA. I honestly don't have any complaints about this so I just going to skip it.
And, finally, thanks to Anione Asia for once again providing me with the anime. I appreciate it.
Overall, I rate this 9.4/10.
It's not the best SOL Sports anime I've ever seen but it's good enough that I can recommend it to other people.

Well, this is a trip, isn't it?
I'm sure most people watching this felt the same way I did. I got into the series with nothing and finished with nothing as well. It's kind of a barebone show that just serves to kill some time. I like that, but... Idk, something about this feels not fulfilling. Don't get me wrong; I like the show, but I just like it because it's good to kill some time when I don't do anything at my workplace.
Animation. It feels so stale. I have said before and many times that I am bored of action anime but thankfully this anime
...
has some romance, drama, and SOL elements in it that make the stale animation safe. But the action though, Jesus Christ, I can't stand it. I even skip some of the action because it's that boring. I mean it's Quad Studio, I don't even have any anime that I have watched from this studio anyway so, I don't expect anything amazing from this. Their best one, at the time of writing of this review, is Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department. And even that only gets 6.7/10 on MAL. So, yeah, I'm not expecting the best quality from this anime.
Story. I don't really know what to say about this because it's one of those anime where one episode has, on average, 12 minutes of showtime. Think of it like "Two More Eggs", "Phineas and Ferb: Take Two", "Zig and Sharko", and "Right Now Kapow" from Disney. Or "Ben 10 Short", "Mighty Magisword", and "Oggy and the Cockroaches" from CN. This is the type of anime that is where it's just like a show for commercial breaks before an actual anime that has a 24-minute runtime airing. So, don't need to take it seriously. Which I actually enjoy a lot for killing my time.
Alright time for character reviews;
.
I have a lot to say on this. Starting with Tsukasa, or Tsu-chan as Shizuri always called him, is a bland protagonist. He served nothing in the story other than for Shizuri's support and master. It is so frustrating that when in a dire situation the only thing that he is good at is supporting Shizuri through talking to her. Like, my guy, she needs more than that start acting more, don't just stand there and watch your girl getting beat. I mean I get it, half of the series he didn't even know that he was somewhat powerful but after knowing it he won't even develop it even further. I would rather watch Toru and Hina, I'm not joking here.
.
Alright, that's Tsukasa, now Shizuri. She is just... not really great. I can say a lot about it but the fact that she is a NEET and most of the plot revolves around her laziness is... something to say the least. She left her village to live life as a NEET IN OTHER PEOPLE APARTMENT. Take Hina and Toru, they are already a lover so it would not be weird to look at but damn just saying man, that plot alone is weird. Lol. Her character growth is also so weirdly implied. I don't even know how the plot going half of the time. But that's how it goes I guess.
These are the main reasons I put aside the story and just enjoy what I get. And also mark this as some of the series that I stated before. I can say that this anime is the Mighty Magisword of this season's anime roasters.
.
As for other characters. Man, what a joke, I thought for sure the 2 demons that attack the casts would awaken both Tsu and Shi but it turns out they're joke characters, just like Ayame, Kanna, and the high school student, Himari. The only characters that I love are Hina, Toru, and the narrator. These three honestly are the people that kept me wanting to watch more. Lol
OST. Whoops, I lied. The OST is also what makes me going. Didn't expect it from a comedy series. The ending has a variation, the opening also updates as the story goes on, and the songs actually fire. The OST on the show itself is also great. So, I give this a 2 thumbs up for the sound design department.
VA. I would like to praise the VA of Toru, Hina, and the narrator. Like, my God, they are honestly so fucking nailed it. Outside of that I actually also like the VA done for Kanna and Ayame. They are great.
Bonus segment;
This is my first review of this season's anime show but I have to say, they are all very amazing with the bonus illustration at the end of the episode. This also occurs in the Ojisan villainess isekai anime. I love how they did it felt like a gift for finishing an episode of their anime.
Before closing this review, I would like to say thank you to Anione Asia for providing me with the shows. Always appreciate it when a YouTube channel provides a show for free viewing on the internet.
Overall I give this 6.7/10. Not bad, but also don't know if I would recommend it to anyone. Good for killing time if you want to watch it though.

All Hail, Sara-sama!
All Hail, Livia-sama!
My goodness, I can't believe I missed this when it was airing, this is literally my kind of shit. OH, MY GOD. It is so good.
I want to start with praises because it's been a while since I watched any anime by the studio that produced my top one favorite, Cross Game. This is one of, if not the best, unique SOL anime ever. The coherence of story from one POV to another and then chained that story together is so freaking incredible. I think I might want to take inspiration from this story for my own novel. It's just that
...
good.
Anyway, let's start this review with animation. I might be biased, but this is top tier. Again, my number 1 favorite anime is animated by this studio, so that's the main reason why I'm kind of biased towards this specific studio. But also, the animation from the OP is what makes this anime so unique. It's been a while since I've seen a blend of 2D animation with a real-world background, and it's quite a very stunning look.
Story. I have briefly talked about it in the intro, but essentially, this series has 3 POVs. One from the MC detective, Sousuke, the blond princess, Sara, and her subordinate/escort, Livia. What happens in the detective scene from Sousuke's POV could be attached to the homeless story from Livia's POV, or a story from Sara's POV in her school has some connection to the detective scene in Sousuke's POV. Like, how could I not love this? It's literally the best kind of storytelling. I so wish this anime get 2nd season because it deserved it. Plus, the ending kind of hinted that maybe, just maybe, there will be a second season.
Edit: I even forgot to mention this since it's really just icing on top of the whole thing. This anime is a reverse isekai; Sara and Livia are from another world and come to another alternate time of earth. It is worth mentioning because people like me are not really keen on the aspect of isekai, but welcoming some are that unique from others like this one.
OST. I love the opening and ending songs, especially the opening, but the ending takes it when I read the lyrics. From those lyrics, I finally understood the meaning of the title. When I first saw the opening, I thought there was going to be a salad or something along those lines involved. But nope! Essentially, this is just a metaphor for lives. In salad, there are lots of combinations that really great together, and salad has different variations, same as lives! In our lives, there are always stories to it, and it can always intertwine with others like your big families, friends, or even people outside your circle, and when you mix them, it will become a complete story of your life full of happy and sad moments.
Sorry... I got too emotional right there. Let's get back to the review.
Characters. I don't particularly want to talk about this because there is no development or anything, moreover, it's just how lives within these three's circle. I don't mind it, though. Just like Cross Game, this kind of story just flows by, and it's fun just seeing people interacting with each other, and then those interactions connect the story all together.
And finally, VA. Oh boy, I don't really have a lot to say on this one because they are insanely good, and it's enjoyable to hear them passionately voice act the characters. Sara and Priketsu/Asumi in particular- these two have some of my favorite voice lines.
Overall, I 100% recommend this anime to anyone who loves the SOL genre. No, it's a much watch even. I give this a 9.8/10.

This manga was a really pleasant surprise. I have been craving a ghost story, and this manga is right up my alley. I like the story and the art; I enjoyed it so much. However, as you can see, I give it a 7, and here is the reason why: double twist.
If you read some of my reviews, you know I love those slow-burn stories, and I can't tell you how much I love just appreciating the story moving as slow as how my life is growing. It's like appreciating what I have been given and enjoying what I have.
With this in mind, I ask
...
you to try to imagine what happened when I saw this one-shot manga have a double fake-out in only 50 pages.
Now, I know that sounds like nitpicking, but come on, man, just tell me a straight story. You don't need to use elements of surprise to make it more interesting. Just a ghost-possession story would be okay for me, or the ghost haunts the protagonist at the end. That's cool too, you know.
But, alas, it is still interesting. I would recommend it for people who like ghost stories. I give this a 7.6/10.
Oh, almost forgot, thanks to MangaPlus for providing this one-shot manga. I appreciate it.
P.S.
Really want some of those ghost possession stories. Would love to hear if people have interesting stacks for those niche genres.

Well, another B19 into my complete manga readlist. And I was actually rooting for this manga to make more because the concept is so cool. It felt redundant, but it's still cool, nonetheless.
I'm not too sure if I should be making this review because the characters literally still at the starting point. They haven't even established their motivation, but then at the end, they jump to the conclusion that the main character, Koharu, just falls in love with the girl, Yuki. No big development or build-up; they just suddenly fell for each other.
Now, I might be the one who doesn't really get the plot here,
...
but even if I didn't get it, at least I get that the character's "Bloodline" powers are wasted. They each serve one purpose only in the story and are never used twice or more. Heck, they don't even go deep with the explanation with each power. It literally the brand of the manga, and they don't even develop that.
Well, at the very least, I actually f with the design. It has such a unique look to it, and it's charming.
Before I end this review, I just want to thank both Satoshi Taninaka sensei for bringing this manga to life and MangaPlus for publishing it on their app. I'll be waiting for the next project from Taninaka sensei, hopefully, he can improve and learn from his first manga.
Overall, I give this 6.0/10. Would recommend it for the art style alone but not really for the story.
Edit:
Oh, and one more thing: I wish MangaPlus were more sympathetic toward all creators that they give a platform of because Webtoon (at least the ID version) still gives the author a proper send of. Like, the story doesn't just fall flat and actually end properly. Yes, it was rushed, but it still paid off in the end.

Man, what a ride! I thoroughly enjoy this SOL to the core. As a fishing enthusiast, when the show mentions my knowledge of fishing, I just smile uncontrollably. Thanks for the original anime, NUT; I'm happy. Also, a shout-out to Kito Senpai for the recommendation. So, let's begin the review.
Starts off with OST. I can't tell you how good this anime's soundtrack is. It feels like an OST for, well, fishing. It fits so well with the theme that I might want to listen to when I go fishing again. Then the OP and ED, while 90% of the OP are the carbon copy of
...
the animation in the show itself. I think I can say I appreciated the song. The song goes so well with the animation even, yeah, could be more relaxing OP than what we got but oh well. The ED tho, I like it more than the OP. I might say the best ED in the season. (Well, not really because it competing with Magilumiere ED and You're Ms. Servent ED)
Alright, let's move on to the animation. It's not the best, I give you that, but I love the quirky character designs that they implied, and because of that, the animation felt unique. I saw one of the two bad reviews that said the 3D CGI in this anime is bad. To that, I say, "BRUH, it's only the fish." I'm not even bothered by that because the story they tell already captures my interest especially since I love fishing.
Story/plot. Well, usually this kind of anime genre doesn't particularly have a goal or plot but we have a plot in this anime so it interests me even more. So to put it simply without getting into a spoiler, our main character, Sasaki Tsunehiro, (let's just shorten his name to Hiro), had a "disease" that was predicted the year he would die. He is desperate to just die on the spot because he, himself, doesn't really have anything in particular that he wants to do. But that changed when he met with a group of fishers. Full of passion, he dives (pun intended) straight into fishing's rabbit hole and sharpens his skill in this activity while he tries to enjoy life once again. So, wholesome right? Even eventually, Hiro helps the other characters to grow. I love that.
Characters. While Hiro gradually develops his character throughout the series, the others don't grow that much, except for Takaaki in the last 2 episodes. Heck, the main girl, Hana, is only there because she is a plot-driven character. If she were not there, the plot would actually go just fine, if I say so myself. However, seeing the group interact with each other is so fun to watch from start to finish. So, even if they didn't grow that much, just seeing them grow a little bit is satisfying to watch.
And last but not least, the VA. I love them. The expression of the VA really screams that they enjoy their roles in this anime. Kudos to all the VA, you guys did a really good job.
Overall NUT has done it again, although I haven't finished Deca-Dence I know that anime got some praise from the anime watcher community, so overall they did it again with amazing original work. I give it 8.1/10.

Welp, this manga became one of my first U19 manga. [If you didn't know what U19 means, it just means that this manga is canceled and barely scraped the 19th chapter.] Such a shame because I actually enjoy this manga and it's one of a kind. I wish this manga could be more than just... this because I'm not that satisfied with this ending. It's basically like they're about to begin their epic journey but then get cut short.
And what pissed me off the most is that this reminded me of one of my fav webtoons called "Brothers and Sisters". Like sh*t man, they also
...
didn't finish it properly, they ended that series in the most bizarre cliffhanger ever, making me question why? Why would you make an interesting story but can't finish it properly?
Now I do understand why these events happen, especially since I have heard a lot of stories from these creators behind the scenes. {Popularity=more chapters} Hakutaku and "Brothers and Sisters" both didn't quite catch the larger audience therefore they had to force themselves to finish quickly and got canceled.
I'm not going to review this manga except for the illustration. I want to shout out to Noto because, my goodness, her design looks stunning. This is actually the main reason I read this manga in the first place. She captured my eyes immediately upon seeing her. Nothing can beat her looks. Other than her the other characters don't really capture my eyes. (Sorry Hikuma and Seo)
And also the background kind of looks blunt. It doesn't quite capture how good the environment surrounding them especially when they show the AR game.
Overall, I had mixed feelings. The story could definitely make this manga great despite its generic look and illustration, but it got canceled. Oh well.
5,7/10
Bonus: I actually have a request if anyone has read this manga. If you can, could you make all of the games that are featured in this manga? I would definitely play it and support it because they were absolutely interesting.

Another amazing manga ended. I couldn't believe how satisfying this manga is. But first of all, I want to thank MangaPlus for bringing this masterpiece into the app, I couldn't ask for more than this treatment.
Story. Straight, point blank. Both MCs have dreams and they actually achieve them. Not only that, they ended up together very fast unlike a certain series that took up hundreds of chapters to confess and they still haven't gone out together. Even tho, the ending could be a little better, I would say overall the author did a great job of conveying the story straight and didn't take an off-rail
...
tangent to try to get as much rage money from their fans with their ridiculous story that took more than 1 year to develop.
Illustration. I saw some people complaining about this actually saying that their appearance doesn't look like their age, which is about twenties. And I would like to say, I kind of agree and disagree. I agree sometimes these authors try too hard to make their OC look so young despite their age but on this occasion, I would have to disagree because I looked into the mirror and felt like I still looked the same as myself at 17 (and I'm in my 24 this year). So, their appearance is valid I would say. Other than appearance, the background illustration looks stunning and I don't have a complaint about it.
Characters. I would love to discuss a lot in this section of the review, but I don't want you all to sit here and read my praises for these characters. So, I'm just going to say read it, and you'll love them. No extended drama, no misunderstanding of more than 2 chapters, and even better, they talked about their problems and solved them like champs by collaborating and finding the solutions. That's insanely rare in these days and ages of manga/webtoon/comic, right?
Proportions of the manga. I wish I could buy the physical version to compare it but I'm just going to talk about the MangaPlus version. Overall I don't have any complaints. I don't even have nitpick. I could see this manga becoming popular if they decide to make an anime out of it and animate it beautifully. I wish the story would stay longer though, like just a little bit more.
Overall, I recommended this manga. It's 9.9/10 for me.
