Ahh, Joshiraku. A series that initially I was skeptical about watching, knowing nothing about Rakugo. Surprisingly, not knowing anything about Rakugo did not matter. The series more so uses pop culture, environmental or political humor more than it addresses anything about Rakugo. The characters are marvelously crafted. Each is assigned a niche essentially that they play quite well and throughout the series, build on. The visuals are clean and clear, the music especially the ending, is addicting, and its overall a very enjoyable anime.
Its worth pointing out however that a lot of jokes in the series rely on Japanese puns and Japanese politics

Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou
(Manga)
add
Hooo boy, where to begin with this manga? From the door, you expect a typical "Childhood friends turned romance" story with a bit of Tsundere thrown in for taste but boy does that disappear fast. It becomes more like a story out of a doujin and with good reason, this manga is border line hentai. Regardless, the story was very satisfying with a good amount of somewhat unexpected plot twists in the mix, the characters were entertaining and unique, the art was nothing extraordinary, and the overall "ride" was worth the read. Definitely something to read if you like more, er, mature romance novels.
