Short fun read that doesn't overstay its welcome with its one note gag. The humor is kind of a mix of understanding humor and tsundere-straightman tsukkomi combo. The art style is cut and well donee. Most importantly, it understands that the joke, while funny, is really one note (or two note, if we're going by actual chapter count) and doesn't stray that far beyond a oneshot, with only one followup chapter to leave you with a clean aftertaste.

Also she's not really doing tax evasion, sorry to tell you. Title is youtube clickbait, only saved from a dislike and unsubscribed the qualifier "probably".

Jun to Kaoru (Manga) add
It's a relatively simple slice of life with a easy to understand premise that doesn't really go anywhere but is fun to read nonetheless. The only flaws is that it ends too soon.

Jun and Kaoru have a secret. Well, a secret that everyone knows. So really, it isn't much of a secret. Or a secret at all. Why do they call it a secret again? Who knows. Anyway they swap genders at midnight. Most of the manga is just bog standard slice of life stuff that you might expect from this simple premise. Trading gym uniforms so you don't have to buy 2 sets for ...

Hathaway's Flash is simultaneously a true joy for any UC enthusiast while being nigh impenetrable for people with it as their first Gundam experience. This is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The culmination of all of the early UC narratives, it serves as both a continuation of the dialogue raised in Gundam Unicorn as well as a dismal rebuttal- proving that the corrupt nature of institutions can not be changed with dreams alone.

Cinematically Hathaway's Flash is a true joy to watch. The animators have done brilliantly, the entire sequence of action scenes in Davao City are some of the best animated and ...

Preliminary (8/13 eps)
Season one raised the bar and season stole it and threw it into the ground. Not even Penkin saved this one.

Where to start with this? The animation quality is not good to say the least. Characters to not some much as fight during fight scenes, it's mostly close up action shots of something and then cut to the aftermath. Rarely are two characters on screen when there's any action happening, one character launches a special attach, another character takes it, end fight scene. Character designs, far from the unique and interesting character designs of season one, look bland and drab. Potentially this would not have ...

Yanami Anna carries this anime from a 6 to a 8.

Make Heroine ga Oosugiru surface-level self aware romcom about... romcoms. The protagonist is a relatively witty loner (where have I heard this before?) with a loving little sister (where have I heard this before?) who is extremely low social awareness and copes by deluding himself that the reader is a loner his intelligence has enlightened him to the futility of schoolyard social dynamics (where have I heard this before?) and learns through the course of the anime that actually having friends is a good thing and he should actually get some (WHERE HAVE I HEARD ...

Medalist (Anime) add
Preliminary (3/13 eps)
A decent adaptation to a masterwork manga.

Going into the anime adaptation of a beloved manga is always accompanied by some trepidation as well as excitement, because you're never quite sure if they'll butcher or live up to your beloved manga, but in this case watchers should not be disappointed (for the most part). Yes, there are certainly some things that could be done better and the animation does not quite live up to Tsurumaikada-sensei's stunning art and there are certain compromises made for the sake of fitting it into a 1-cour anime, but it is good.

Getting down to the actual animation quality: the CGI ...

Preliminary (47/50 chp)
I liked it but I'm kind of a sucker for high concept manga that try unique plotlines. Objectively speaking without my personal tastes factoring into it, it's not that great and you should only read it if you have very specific interests. It's a jumble of very interesting sci-fi premises very rarely seen in manga brought together in a fascinating combination but executed pretty poorly. Hara-sensei has a history of doing things that are interesting in theory, like his other work "Midara na Jakyou ni Sukuu Mono", but then you read it and you're like "That's it? That's all you're going to do with the ...

Mixed Feelings
Spoiler
It's hard to recommend this manga, even though I think it was a fun read. There's a huge tonal shift in the middle of the manga. The overall atmosphere at the beginning of the manga is like some strange warped parody of Death Note or some other typical 'mastermind' and the latter half is a strong character-growth one about how it's never too late to mature as a adult and human being. Imagine Farmland Saga levels of tonal dissonance but around 5x worse. It reads way different. For me, personally, I found the first part honestly cringe and a slog to chew through but it ...

An all time classic. Another banger that proves the paradigm that "boys make the best girls". Yui, or rather, Yuuta in Yui's body is hilariously good at bulldozing her way through all of the original Yui's problems, exemplifying once again that Charisma is the best stat. The most stand-out aspect about this is how it handles the genderswap element. Unlike many of the commonly found genderswap manga these days, the genderswap element isn't just a wish fulfillment vehicle or a comedy gag element for the sake of fanservice/humor, it's played out with some thought put into how society's gender roles enforce upon individuals, how sudden ...

Medalist (Manga) add
Preliminary (46/? chp)
This is a premier, top of the line, character focused, theme heavy, sports manga about striving for victory. The primary conflict is about Inori trying to work her way to becoming No.1, e.g. Gold medalist, but there is so much beyond that. Almost every character in Medalist is a protagonist of their own story. This is not something you are only reminded of as an afterthought but something that works its way in at every point possible. Tsukasa has his own themes about sacrifice, chances give up on, making sure the next generation has better opportunities than he was given. Hikaru has her own set ...
