Wholesome Slice of Life is My Way of Life

Hi there. The name is Yosep. I'm filling up my "about me" section out of obligation because leaving it empty will make me unable to sleep at night.

I'm a Slice of Life connoisseur in forever search for the true slice of life series. A true SOL is a series that will give you the warmth of life, something you can relate to, and something you can learn from. So, my definition of slice of life series is basically Iyashikei. That's why I'm not quite as fond of with anything other than Iyashikei, such as romcom-setting slice of life. They are basically romcoms! Not slice of life, damn it! 🤣 (Except if it's a good romance slice of life such as Tenshi-sama)

My rating system is subjective, judged purely based on how "comfortable" I am when I was reading/watching the series. Therefore, feel free to not use it. But... If you see yourself as having a similar taste to mine, then a few of my 9/10 or 10/10 will hit the sweet spot in your heart.

Just for trivia, here's how I give ratings:

10 > Gems. These series are super special to me. The reason mainly because I can vividly imagine myself entering the world of the story. Being a third person, observing the characters living their life and feel all of their emotions. These are the series that are in my top buy list and will quickly buy it whenever I have spare changes in my pocket. Personal masterpieces.

9 > Very Good. The series that stands out among others. And I had a great time while reading/watching it.

8 > Good. Just the standard 'good'. It's enjoyable but nothing more.

7 > Average. Nothing special..... Good? Maybe... Bad? That's too harsh, but maybe.

6 > Bad. Couldn't enjoy it at all. The reasons are mostly 'not my cup of tea'.

5 and below > Beyond Trash. Hated it. Not gonna have a second look. And got irritated whenever it pops up on my screen..

Thank you for visiting my profile. Let's be friends and talk about wholesome series 😄.

→ Read HakoMari... Now! ←

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria Appreciation

First and foremost, I curse you Eiji Mikage, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such work. I also thank Eusth for the translation and all the people included in the project. I know I don't have to feel the pain of waiting and many uncertainties to whether the book is going to be dropped by the author.

What a read... What a fucking read, indeed. This is so fucked up in a very good way. I don't know. All the words and memorable events while reading it is jumbled inside my head and I don't know where to start. The mind boggling twists still left me twisted in many different ways. I experienced a lot of things in it, pleasures and sorrows. I really don't fucking know how to express it, and I really hated it when it happens. But most of the times, it describes how GOOD THE BOOK WAS...!!!!

And now, I have to cope with this huge void left by it, the biggest one I've ever had, wondering how the characters especially Kazuki and Maria deal with their life afterwards, looking at it from a worldview perspective as my little world that I could see at anytime anywhere. But unfortunately, I couldn't. That's why I hate picking up a new book because when I happen to pick up a masterpiece like HakoMari, this kind of void is very hard to deal with. But I also feel an enormous gratitude for a life-like journey I had from it.

In the end..... I curse you Eiji Mikage, I really do, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such work, again, I really do. Just you know, you have left a mark in this world by creating this book, to at least one single human that is me. I hope for you and your dearest one's greatest health and well-being. Thank You. 100/10
