Unlike the last season, there are a few new anime on my fall 2025 anime must-watch list.

Yes, the list is shorter than it used to be.

But that’s intentional, considering I have a hard time catching up with the latest episodes, with so many things on my plate right now.

So, the best way to go about it is to watch less anime, of course.

And nope, it has nothing to do with this season’s anime being a total du...

Yikes! I can’t believe it’s time for another Anime Deals: November 2025 Edition post.

With November already here, I’m happy to report that my goals for this year are progressing well.

But not so much on my Goodreads Reading Challenge, though.

I still have a long way to go.

And it doesn’t help that we’re less than two months away from 2025 being officially over.

Will I be able to meet this year’s reading ch...

When you think about the My Happy Marriage manga, you probably think the story must be about the hurdles a woman has to face before it leads her to a happy marriage.

You know, something akin to a Harlequin novel and manga?

Well, you’re not wrong about that, considering that’s the manga’s whole premise.

But that’s not the only thing you’ll get out of this manga.

I’ll elaborate more about it later in this bl...

What just happened now that it’s time for me to write the Anime Deals: October 2025 Edition post?

I guess it must have something to do with me being busy throughout September.

There are many things I need to do to prepare for the new edition of the Trigger Locked series.

There are so many things to do, and yet so little time.

With only a few months left before 2025 is officially over, I wonder if I can get...

On the surface, the Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun manga may be another manga about a mangaka.

Well, it’s not that hard to tell, with Nozaki holding a pen that you only use when you draw manga, a manuscript in his other hand, and rulers in his back.

But here’s the thing about the manga in general – it’s not something you would expect if you’re familiar with a manga like Bakuman.

Or you can say Monochrome Days i...

I can’t believe how quickly time passes by now that I have to write the Anime Deals: September 2025 Edition post.

But unlike my usual fanfare, I’m happy to report that I’m making a lot of progress as far as my goals for this year are concerned.

Yes, there are a few goals that I didn’t manage to tackle, considering that they’re big goals and I doubt I can get them done by the end of 2025.

But other than tha...

Okay, I admit that my summer 2025 anime list doesn’t consist of any new anime, save for the Zutaboro Reijou wa Ane no Moto Konyakusha ni Dekiai sareru anime.

That’s the only new anime I’m watching this season.

The rest of them are the anime that I watched a few seasons back.

So, what’s with the lack of new anime to watch?

Are there no new interesting anime to watch this season?

Well, I won’t go as far as s...

Now that August is here, it’s time for the Anime Deals: August 2025 Edition post, where you’ll find amazing deals related to anime and video game merchandise.

But before that, there’s something I’d like to get off my chest.

It’s about the Kaiju No.8 anime.

Yes, I know that the image for this post doesn’t match with what I’m about to say here.

But stay with me, considering that there’s a likely chance that ...

Okay, I’ll try to make the Anime Deals: July 2025 Edition post a little different than usual this time.

Instead of saying how time flies so quickly, I’d like to touch upon something that I notice, and this post seems to be the right place to do that.

I won’t discuss it in the introduction, as it’s more specific than a broader topic.

So, I’ll get to it in a moment.

Will the topic ever get a dedicated blog p...

Yes, I know it took me a long time to discuss the Kill Blue manga on my blog.

Well, what can I say?

It’s hard to talk about the Shonen Jump manga when the manga you thought had the potential to go beyond 100 chapters ends prematurely.

You’ll often see that with most of the manga you read on MANGA Plus.

Believe me, it’s not easy to talk about the manga whose fate is unknown.

For all you know, the manga you ...
