Since the purpose of this site is storing and managing personal lists of japanese cartoons, comics and young adult novels, a list of the japanese movies I have watched has its place here too.

Thank you for accepting the request! I haven't really been on the site all that much lately, your profile was the first that seemed interesting in a looong time😂
Indeed. That whole storyline was so unexpected when I first started to watch it. And then I just couldn't put it down. I recently discovered the manga, so looks like after this ends I'll also be reading it online. Lol. There's so many volumes I won't be able to wait for all of it to be adapted.
