Satsuki Nanao (彩月七緒)

[lgbtqmanga]

New Releases Nov. 5, 2024

Dinghai Fusheng Records (manhua) vol. 1 by Fei Tian Ye Xiang and Quian Er Bai

It has been three hundred years since magic disappeared from the Divine Land. Chen Xing is the last Great Exorcist—a young man with a tenuous grip on magic whose life is destined to end on his twentieth birthday. As whispers about the return of the demonic entity known as Mara echo across the land, Chen Xing is burdened with a daunting task: to seek out his fated counterpart, the Protector Martial God, and together, to save the world. Enter Xiang Shu, a condemned man with a haunted past. Accused of unspeakable atrocities, Xiang Shu is an enigma—handsome, skilled, and facing execution for crimes he claims he didn’t commit. As their destinies intertwine, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu embark together on a journey where the salvation of everything they know hangs in the balance.

Leave the Sacrifice at the Gate (manga) by Susu Katoh

Uzumaki Nanao was born to be a sacrifice. However, when his family delivers him to the god who’s supposed to eat him, things don’t go quite as expected. The god is more interested in taking it easy than sacrificial offerings, totally ruining Nanao’s end-of-life trajectory. Can he convince the god to eat him? Or will he learn that there’s more than one way to be devoured by a god? Recommended for Mature Audiences.

Love is an Illusion! - The Queen (manhwa) vol. 1 by Fargo

Free-spirited Alpha Do-gyeom has finally decided to put her promiscuous past behind her and settle down. As a 39-year-old woman, however, her options for marriage partners have dwindled. Luckily she has her beleaguered Omega secretary, Seung-ah, to do most of the work of finding a suitable match for her. It shouldn’t be a problem, even if Seung-ah and Do-gyeom have harbored secret feelings for each other for years. In fact, arranging Do-gyeom’s marriage may just be the catalyst for the two of them to finally admit their attraction…unless another Alpha gets in the way!

The New Recruit (manhwa) vol. 1 by MOSCARETO and Zec

Seunghyun spent his twenties following his crush through college and grad school, only to wind up totally single and with no idea where to go in his career. When he manages to land an internship at a competitive marketing company, he’s ready for a fresh start without worrying over unrequited love. Except his supervisor is the handsome workaholic Kim Jongchan, whose hot and cold attitude leaves Seunghyun flustered. And worse yet, his crush from school works at the same company too! Will Seunghyun survive his first job and a potential first relationship?

Otherside Picnic (manga) vol. 11 by Iori Miyazawa, Eita Mizuno, and Shirakaba

Sorawo, Toriko, and Kozakura have been attacked by a group that venerates the mysterious missing Satsuki Uruma. After traveling through the real-life scary stories “The Round Hole in the Basement” and “The Mountain Ranch,” the trio ultimately emerge inside DS Research! What does Luna Urumi, the Satsuki worshipper with a bewitching voice, ultimately want with them?

Peerless: Wu Shuang (novel) vol. 2 by Meng Xi Shi

Rival investigators Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao embark on a diplomatic journey westward, hoping to build a key alliance that will stand against the power-hungry Eastern Khaganate. But they get more than they bargained for when they stop to rest at the oasis city of Qiemo, where they find a haunted inn, a beleaguered Sui magistrate, and the city divided between two powerful self-styled rulers. Despite their larger mission, Cui Buqu has an audacious idea—one that will turn the city upside down and bring Qiemo back under Sui control if he succeeds. Even Feng Xiao must admit that, while Cui Buqu’s schemes are outrageous, there’s something increasingly intriguing about this sickly chief of the Zuoyue Bureau. Yet more is at stake in the city than petty power struggles: as the investigative duo digs into the underbelly of Qiemo, they uncover evidence of a conspiracy that stretches across Great Sui and beyond.

Anime i’ve Watched

That begin with a T (Part 2)!

Yep this is how i’m going to bring over all the anime and manga i’ve watched and posted about on the old blog. It’s not so detailed but it will have to do. Anything new I watch or read from this point on will have their own posts.

Tokyo Ghoul:

Genres: Action, Mystery, Horror, Psychological, Supernatural, Drama, Seinen

Synopsis: Tokyo has become a cruel and merciless city—a place where vicious creatures called “ghouls” exist alongside humans. The citizens of this once great metropolis live in constant fear of these bloodthirsty savages and their thirst for human flesh. However, the greatest threat these ghouls pose is their dangerous ability to masquerade as humans and blend in with society. Based on the best-selling supernatural horror manga by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul follows Ken Kaneki, a shy, bookish college student, who is instantly drawn to Rize Kamishiro, an avid reader like himself. However, Rize is not exactly who she seems, and this unfortunate meeting pushes Kaneki into the dark depths of the ghouls' inhuman world. In a twist of fate, Kaneki is saved by the enigmatic waitress Touka Kirishima, and thus begins his new, secret life as a half-ghoul/half-human who must find a way to integrate into both societies.

My Rating: 6.5/10

Finished airing in 2014 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Loved the Manga... did not love the anime. Could not explain to you why now that it has been so long since i’ve watched this... Amazing opening theme though!!

Tokyo Ghoul √A :

Genres: Action, Mystery, Horror, Psychological, Supernatural, Seinen, Drama

Synopsis:  Ken Kaneki has finally come to accept the monstrous, flesh-craving part of himself that he has feared and despised for so long. After escaping captivity and torture, Kaneki joins Aogiri Tree—the very militant ghoul organization that had abducted him, leading his friends to question his true motive and loyalty. As tension between the government and the ghouls continues to rise, the Commission of Counter Ghoul, the government's specialized anti-ghoul agency, has intensified their efforts to completely purge Tokyo of ghouls. This threatens the transient peace of Kaneki's friends and former comrades—the ghouls at the Anteiku coffee shop. Aware of the dangerous situation, Kaneki faces several battles that puts his precious fleeting humanity on the line. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 3/10

Finished airing in  2015 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: I liked this one even less than the first. You be the judge of what interests you though. Don’t let me stop you from watching something! Highly suggest reading the manga!!

Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro):

Genres: Film, Adventure, Comedy, Supernatural

Synopsis:  In 1950s Japan, Tatsuo Kusakabe relocates himself and his two daughters, Satsuki and Mei, to the countryside to be closer to their mother, who is hospitalized due to long-term illness. As the girls grow acquainted with rural life, Mei encounters a small, bunny-like creature in the yard one day. Chasing it into the forest, she finds "Totoro"—a giant, mystical forest spirit whom she soon befriends. Before long, Satsuki too meets Totoro, and the two girls suddenly find their lives filled with magical adventures in nature and fantastical creatures of the woods. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 8/10

A film released in 1988.

My Thoughts: My least favourite Ghibli film, though many peoples favorite. As with all films i’d say it’s worth at least a single watch! 

Tsurezure Children:

Genres: Comedy, Romance, School, Shounen, TV Short

Synopsis:  Young love—it takes many unique and fascinating forms that flourish as children begin to mature into adults. From being unable to confess to not knowing what real love actually feels like, various obstacles can arise when learning about romantic attraction for the first time. But underneath all that, young love is something truly beautiful to behold, leading to brand new experiences for those young and in love. Tsurezure Children depicts various scenarios of young love coming to fruition, along with the struggles and joys that it entails. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2017 with a total of 12, 12 minute long episodes. 

My Thoughts: An enjoyable little series with a just as enjoyable manga! Check them both out if you’re interested!!

Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudoubu:

Genres: Sports, Drama, School

Synopsis:  "Tsurune"—It's the sound made by the bowstring when an arrow is released, and the sound that inspired Minato Narumiya to learn Kyuudo, a modern Japanese martial art focusing on archery. However, an incident during his last middle school tournament caused him to quit the sport. But soon, many factors conspire to make Minato take up the bow once again: the start of a new Kyuudo club in his high school, a chance encounter with a mysterious archer, and the support of his childhood friends, Seiya Takehaya and Ryouhei Yamanouchi. Together with his childhood friends and his new teammates, Kaito Onogi and Nanao Kisaragi, Minato rekindles his love for Kyuudo and works with his team toward their aim of winning the prefectural tournament. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2019 with a total of 13 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Pretty dudes, sports and friendship! Not as life changing as something like Haikyuu!! but enjoyable all the same. I have the hots for Masaki... pretty sure everyone does.

My Review of Rinne

(a.k.a. Kyoukai no Rinne)

How did I get into this anime? Let’s just say the creator of this series, I’m a fan of. Rumiko Takahashi is the creator of this series as well as several other well-known anime series including Ranma ½, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, and my personal favorite InuYasha. That alone was reason for me to get heavily interested from the get-go. But because of the time it came out, I had too much on my plate to pick up one more anime, so I put it on the back-burner for a few years. And despite the mediocre score and listless hype over this, I’m still interested to see what Rin-ne is all about.

As a child, Mamiya Sakura has been different from other children. When she was a child, Sakura ended up in the afterworld and returned to the world of the living after a day of wandering around. After that incident, she gained the ability to see ghosts/spirits. Fast-forward to the present where she’s a high school student and meets a Shinigami named Rinne Rokudou. Rinne is a half-human (which is rare in the afterworld) and works as a Shinigami like his parents and grandmother before him. He can be seen by regular humans, but if he wears a special cloak, he becomes invisible to everyone. This makes it easy to put spirits to rest without being seen by humans!

Both Rinne and Sakura are able to see what others cannot and this often helps Rinne when he takes on a mission. Throughout the series, Rinne ends up taking on random spirits every episode with a cute mascot that often helps him (Rokumon), a love rival (Tsubasa Jumonji), a girl who likes him (Ageha), and several other colorful characters in the human and afterworld. Check out the afterlife. Just be sure to bring your checkbook, nothing’s for free!

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Sentai Filmworks is the licensor of this series and by the looks of it, this series has already been released in video formats and has no dub to speak of. So I’m going to assume there will be no dub to this in the future. This is kind of a blessing to me! Because if I’m watching a Rumiko Takahashi series, I would highly prefer hearing the voice actors of Vancouver! That’s right, if this series doesn’t contain Richard Ian Cox, Kelly Sheridan, Brad Swaile, or Brian Drummond, the dub will be scum.

Okay, I admit that’s mean. I grew accustomed to the other Takahashi classics that if this got a dub, I would have flipped if I saw the Texas voice actors on this.

As for the sub…where oh where could Kappei Yamaguchi be? Oh where, oh where could he be? One way or another, we are going to hear him. And we do! BUT, he’s not a main character this time. That honor goes to Kaito Ishikawa. Everything in the last three years has gone to this guy. And who am I to complain? I friggin’ love him in nearly everything he’s in. Yeah, this series does have a lot of familiar voices, including several that have been memorable characters in Takahashi’s other series. Kappei Yamaguchi (who is well known for InuYasha and Ranma) is featured as well as Satsuki Yukino (well known for Kagome on InuYasha) Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

*Rinne is played by (known for Kiawe on Pokemon SM, Genos on One Punch Man, Mitsuo on Golden Time, Urie on Tokyo Ghoul :re, Sakakibara on Assassination Classroom, and Naofumi on Shield Hero)

*Sakura is played by Marina Inoue (known for Sonia on Pokemon Journeys, Armin on Attack on Titan, Yoko on Gurren Lagann, Jessica on Umineko, Kyouko on Skip Beat, Wataru on Hayate, and Rei on H.O.T.D.)

*Rokumon is played by Hitomi Nabatame (known for Serena’s Mother on Pokemon XY, Yukiji on Hayate, Margery Daw on Shakugan no Shana, Saori on Oreimo, Nanao on Bleach, and Raynare on High School DxD)

FAVORITE CHARACTER: I have a guilty pleasure for Kain’s cat, Suzu. She’s just so care-free that she fucks up at least 98% of the time she’s shown on this show. And I gotta admit that she makes me laugh whenever she’s on the screen.

DISLIKED CHARACTER: You would think I would pick that snot-nosed brat (Shouma) introduced in season two for this list. Or Kain for that matter! Both of these boys annoy the living fuck out of me whenever they’re in an episode. But then Rinne’s father peaks his douchey head in.

Oh wow, horrible parent alert! Sabato Rokudou is Rinne’s father and holy shit what a bloody scumbag. He’s on the same tier as the parents from Hayate the Combat Butler. Yeah, that bad! As we all know, the after-world is a capitalist society and everything has a price. This guy has been stealing his own son’s money since he was a little boy. Add to that, Sabato fills his son with false promises (including meeting his own mother). Even in his current age, Sabato finds ways to steal money from his son when he’s trying to earn means while living in the world of the living. Even putting him in a million yen in debt! And just causing life to be miserable for Rinne whenever he comes by! Tamako, how could you birth such an inconsiderate bastard into being?

Nice to see my prediction from when I wrote my Worst Father’s of Anime list over a year ago came true. Sabato remained a dick-head throughout all three seasons. Amazing! I guess the only nice thing about him is that he’s not going to be in a relationship with Ichigo while she’s still a child.

SHIPPING: So Kyokai no Rinne is following the same protocol as a lot of Rumiko Takahashi’s other animes. So we have the male and female main protagonist that’s going to be the main ship (even though it seems more friend-zoned most of the time). There will be a reoccurring girl character to cause friction between this main ship because she loves the male protagonist. And we have to add several boys after the main female’s heart too.

And just for good measure, let’s add a boy interested in the male lead and a couple of secondary ships that may or may not happen.

Hey, InuYasha and Ranma ½ had the same setup. Rinne is just following suit!

Rinne x Sakura has pretty much setting sail since the end of season two even without a full-on confession from either one of them. Rinne has had feelings for Sakura since season one. Sakura on the other hand, I can’t get a grip on what she wants in terms of a romantic partner. I want to say she’s oblivious to the advances of Jumonji or Ageha’s jealousy, but on the other hand, I feel like Sakura just doesn’t care what happens romantic wise. But the fact that she’s constantly helping Rinne might be a big, fat clue.

Rinne x Ageha is that one-sided ship that you know is never gonna happen (along with Sakura x Jumonji), but it doesn’t stop die-hard shippers from supporting it until their final breaths. I am actually impressed that Ageha doesn’t hold a grudge against Rinne because his father kinda brain-washed Ageha’s sister into giving Sabato money all the time. Several other characters hate Rinne for that alone, yet Ageha is still devoted to loving Rinne.

I do wonder that once Rinne x Sakura are a sure-thing if Jumonji and Ageha are going to hook up.

Rinne x Matsugo was one of the wildest ships I could have imagined. First of all, Matsugo’s debut episode came with a hint of love-hate. But by the end, Matsugo went from hating Rinne over a misunderstanding to going all “Bros before Hoes” on us! After that Matsugo stopped at nothing to get Rinne. Even blowing off the one girl that actually likes this obsessed freak!

Kain x Renge is actually the one ship that doesn’t revolve around Rinne because both Kain and Renge hate Rinne’s guts. Renge likes Kain, but also has to hide some pretty heinous things from him like working for Rinne’s father as a Damashi-shinigami. And as we all know, Kain has a vendetta against Sabato, his family, and anyone affiliated with Damashis due to his own family situation. Kain unfortunately sees Renge as an ally or a friend. He wants her to continue her studies since Kain can’t go to school. Dude ain’t got time for a side-chick! He’s gotta work for a living because his mother gives all their money away to Sabato.

That guy seriously grinds my gears.

RUMIC WORLD EASTER EGGS: Rumiko Takahashi has been around for quite some time and many of her creations have become quite well-known. That’s why when Rinne came in anime form, fans took to the forums to gab about how Ageha is the spitting image of a one-shot villain from InuYasha or that Sakura’s mother has a resemblance of Lum or that Jumonji looks like a modern-day Miroku (minus the perverted charm). Every now and then, we get a special little easter egg shown from Takahashi’s other works. Most notably, Lum shown on the currency and carnival prizes that have a lot of figures from Ranma ½!

My favorite easter egg was of course during a next episode preview where Sabato and Tamako (who are voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi and Satsuki Yukino) end up doing some dialogue that’s…

…You all know what this is…

END OF SEASON ONE: So the final episode, Sakura was able to have something she hasn’t been able to obtain in over 10 years. Three days of peace without having to be bugged by a spirit. As a reminder, Sakura as a child visited the other world and after that experience, she’s been able to see spirits. Tamao gave Sakura some candy to eat so that she would be like every other human around her and not see spirits every waking second.

This couldn’t have come at a worse time for Rinne as he had to take out over 5,000 spirits in the middle of an A-1 run. And because Sakura accidentally opened the barrier containing these spirits, they were trying to come after her. So Rinne had to get rid of all 5,000 (and lose money in the process with special tools). It took three days, but Rinne was able to do that. And because Rinne had his special coat on (where normal humans are unable to see him), Sakura wasn’t able to see him until the candy wore off. Even though Sakura got a whole bag of those candies, she hasn’t used them again.

At the end of the episode, Rinne and Sakura break the fourth wall by announcing that a second season was coming!

SEASON TWO: Oh thank you Jesus, the opening and ending themes aren’t bland bags of genericness like the previous season. Great improvement, especially when you get one of the best singers from Love Live to do the opening theme! Good on you!

Music ranting aside, this season we are introduced to a lot of new characters in the human and spirit world that are going to be seen more often than not. Starting things off, apparently Ageha has a cat employee (much like the relationship between Rinne and Rokumon). Except Ageha and Obero’s relationship is a lot more dysfunctional. Kain also has a cat employee named Suzu. She’s more spazzy compared to Kain’s serious demeanor. Actually, there are several cat characters introduced this series and even a few episodes dedicated to them later on.

One more thing I should mention about this particular season is that we got to see Sakura have a little more growth here. For a while I found her too plain for my taste, but this season we see her become a Shinigami (for a day) and we even get possible love interest with the finale. Now let’s head over to that part.

END OF SEASON TWO: The final two episodes consisted of Rinne being invited to a high school mixer in the Afterworld by a former friend, Matsugo. The thing is Matsugo used to hold a vendetta against Rinne due to a misunderstanding from their childhood. But unlike every other misunderstanding from this series, this one was resolved within an episode or two and Matsugo’s buddies with Rinne again. Actually, Matsugo’s feelings are teetering from childhood friend to full-blown bromance.

How do you get rid of a nuisance who can’t take a hint? Bring Sakura with you to the mixer and have her pretend to be your girlfriend! The big problem here is that Rinne is putting food and money over Sakura. And if you were in Rinne’s shoes, you can see that these two are more important than a girl. Rinne is poor as fuck! If he gets a chance at winning some money or food, absolutely fuck everything else! Unfortunately, Sakura caught wind of all of these ulterior motives and started to question her own relationship with Rinne. And I gotta hand it to Sakura, because if this were an old-school Rumiko Takahashi female protagonist like Akane or Kagome, Rinne would have been destroyed in a matter of seconds. Sakura doesn’t cuss him out or show a resting bitch-face. Actually, she never does! But by the end of this two-parter, Rinne realized that Sakura is pretty important to her, maybe even more than other things.

At the end of the episode, Rinne and Sakura break the fourth wall again by announcing that a third season was coming!

SEASON THREE: Much like the previous season, we’re continuously introduced to new characters that serve some sort of purpose, a new love triangle involving the main or supporting cast, and 2-3 filler stories an episode. However, in the mid-point, we get introduced to 2 new characters that answer some questions that have plagued many of us since the beginning.

You know how nearly every male protagonist of Rumiko Takahashi has a missing mother? Whether it be due to premature demise or she’s a crazy-bitch like in Ranma ½, the mother figure is usually M.I.A. Otome was Rinne’s mother, but she disappeared when he was a baby. Only now, her scythe returns suddenly. Add to that, a mysterious little girl named Ichigo moves into the area (and just like Sakura, she can see spirits).

Long story short, Ichigo is the reincarnation of Otome (Rinne’s mother). I can get over this whole Kikyo/Kagome crap because this is a Rumiko classic. But I just feel ewwie whenever I see Ichigo and Sabato. Thankfully Sabato has no intention of doing anything creepy to Ichigo. He has some standards, so he gets a point with me there. The reason why Otome disappeared was because she wanted to hide her old yearbooks from Sabato, which lead to her being caught up in a stampede of wild animals that lead her to the wheel of reincarnation. And the reason why she was trying to hide these old yearbooks was because she didn’t want Sabato to know the ugly truth.

That she is really two years younger…than her mother-in-law.

Dude…I know Tamako looks extremely young to even be a grandmother…but damn, Otome goes to these lengths to lie about her age.

ENDING: We don’t really get any kind of monumental moment or climax until the very final episode since all of the episodes between Ichigo’s reveal and the finale were mostly just side-stories involving spirits/demons of the day. The final episode had Rinne, Sakura, Renge, and Jumonji taking part of a school festival at Matsugo’s school. But it mostly takes place in a test of courage cave. Apparently this feature is notorious for causing many couples to break up and people can’t turn around otherwise they’re disqualified. But if you make it all the way through, free food! And you know Rinne is not going to turn down a chance to get free food.

But we get another moment much like the end of season two where Rinne has to choose between food and/or money or Sakura. Actually, Rinne ended up choosing Sakura. And unlike a bunch of other pissed off couples, Rinne and Sakura’s relationship (or lack there of) is doing pretty well.

So we end with no love confessions on any front, no happy ending for Rinne in hitting a Shinigami lottery or some crap like that, and no hope in a fourth season.

*sighs*

This was…just an okay anime. I can see why people just think this is okay or mediocre. With me, there were several things that bugged. First of all, I found several things in the anime that felt very inconsistent. Especially when it came to the spirits plaguing the human world! There are some scenes where something out of the ordinary happens and it plays out like you would expect like people freaking out. But then you get these moments where, okay, why are regular humans seeing this? The annoying narrator likes to point out the obvious in literally every episode. Why, didn’t we establish the obvious earlier?

Speaking of the narrator, could you be any more annoying?! How many times are you going to remind us of things in the series? I know there are useful moments with the narrator like when he’s describing all the different items Rinne and other Shinigami use to put a soul to rest. But then there’s this repetitive nature to the narrator where he constantly reminds you of shit you’ve known since episode 1. It’s useful when you want to remind the audience at the beginning of each season, but not every couple of episodes. WE ALL KNOW RINNE CAN’T BE SEEN BY HUMANS IF HE’S WEARING HIS CLOAK! SHUT UP ALREADY!

I’m not sure if the anime covered everything in the manga as I have not picked up the books…yet. I’m sure the manga has gotten a little further with many of these potential ships like Rinne x Sakura to hope that maybe one day we’ll get something from them. I’ve spent a good year and a half trying to grasp at what I really think of Sakura Mamiya. First of all, she’s a huge improvement in the main female role. When you compare her to the other girls from Takahashi’s works like Kagome or Akane (who eat Carnation Instant Bitch every morning), Sakura is quite pleasant.

But then you see Sakura showing no other emotion besides satisfied, meh, and let me put on my surprise face. She hardly ever gets mad. I’m not saying go on a rampage like Kagome when she yells at InuYasha, but for fuck’s sake, tell Rinne off every now and then. Christ-balls, he’s put food and money over you so many times you’ve earned a few yells. And he constantly borrows money from you and you know he’ll never pay you back!

The story is mostly the spirit of the day trope. In later seasons however, we get two or three mini stories an episode dealing with some sort of spirit with no personal growth involving any of the main characters. Rinne gets ahead during the episode, but gets smacked back to where he began and we repeat the same thing in the next episode. So yeah, it got boring when we’re stuck in a slump like that. I even had high hopes in season two when we got that one episode where Sakura was a Shinigami for the day. I thought Sakura was going to evolve a little bit after that, but alas that was not the case. We go right back to the spirit(s) of the day trope!

But I always felt drawn back with several of the colorful characters. I always enjoy Rinne’s grandmother, Tamako. Kain’s cat, Suzu is the silliest thing ever and I love her dearly. Masato will always suck and it’s a joy to watch him fail at everything. And call me a sucker for boys fighting over the girl, but whenever I see Rinne and Jumonji get jealous at each other, I enjoy it. Not on levels like Inuyasha and Koga, but good enough here.

So, I would give it a couple of episodes to make your own decision if you want to drop it or continue watching Rinne.

In the meantime, I’m gonna wait patiently for that InuYasha sequel that’s coming out in October. Thank Arceus Rumiko Takahashi gave us something in 2020.

If you want to check out Rin-ne, all three seasons are available on Crunchyro…

Uh-oh! As of this date and time, Rin-ne is removed (along with 76 other titles) from Crunchyroll’s site. Glad I finished before they got rid of it! Just watch it on HI-DIVE.

Now then! That took a good 18 months to get through. Hopefully the next anime is a lot shorter than that one. What’s next on my Sentai block?

Suffering!

Huh? Does that mean Re:Zero? Or Akame ga Kill?

Nope.

Oh, Made in Abyss! But this looks cute and innocent, how could this possibly be…?! Almost had you all fooled! Looks can be deceiving. Yeah, this anime is gonna hurt.

I finished the demo last week, which took about 10 hours. I did a lot of exploring which pads out the length, but I still feel like the first two chapters are longer than Harutoki6’s. I have a better understanding of the characters and the battle system grew on me, but now I’m a bit worried about the story, pacing, and love scenes.

The first two chapters feel like an introduction and chapter 2 in particular ends in a low key way, in contrast to Harutoki6 where every chapter ended in a exciting moment (although the momentum barely ever carry over to the next chapter). I’m hoping the story is a slow burn because so far I’m a bit underwhelmed. I do think it might be more story heavy than the previous title since the characters have less love scenes, with Yukimura in particular only having 9 when the average is about 14-15. In comparison, Harutoki6 had about ~29 average for each character. The weird thing is that Kanetsugu and Nagamasa both have scenes that seem to be love scenes (and you can actually lock yourself out of at least Kanetsugu’s route if you pick wrong) but neither of those are in their list. Satsuki also has a scene similar to that, but he reveals pretty important information so that scene is more integrated into the plot than Kanetsugu/Nagamasa’s.

Musashi was pretty boring as well, which was as expected but I kinda like him better now and he even looks good in one of his scenes.

It’s super obvious that Okuni knew Nanao from before and that he has some angst about that time period, but I’m not sure I’m into his angst. But I’m obsessed because he looks hot dressed down.

I didn’t take anymore screenshots because there wasn’t anything interesting that wasn’t show in the website before.

Satsuki confirmed that he’s a Star clan member born in the modern era, which has me excited because that points to the chance of having a game set mostly in the modern era. You do travel back and forth in this game but you’re stuck in small area cut away from everything else (they don’t even have phone service) so it’s more for flavour than anything else. The way some of the guys react to modern stuff is cute though. Anyway, he also admits to having a twin brother (not identical) who went missing around the time Nanao was found, so I’m guessing they switched places? Satsuki doesn’t say what happened but he probably doesn’t want Nanao to feel guilty. I’m pretty certain that Mitsunari is his twin, their looks and even their clothing are similar. Also, Satsuki might have mentioned his name, I can’t remember. It would have been a cool thing to find out after we met Mitsunari so I’m not sure why they revealed it so soon.

Yamato kinda irritated me before the game, but he’s actually pretty relatable? At one point he talks about how he finds being around Munenori uncomfortable because he’s too quiet, and when Nanao expresses surprise because Yamato is not that talkative, he elaborates that even he finds silence is awkward when it goes on too long. He also surprised me with Okuni because Nanao can joke about Okuni being his type when she finds that Yamato likes his dance, and Yamato’s reaction is surprisingly nonhomophobic (low standards, but a lot of JP media like to make gay jokes) but then I’m not sure if Yamato is aware that Okuni is a guy. I’m looking forward to his route because I feel like he might be part of the demon clan, which has me excited because my two favourite characters from the previous game are from the demon clan, and I’m pretty sympathetic towards the clan in general even though they have been often antagonistic in the entire series.

I still think Nagamasa is an asshole, but I’m charmed because I find his behaviour funny and he’s good looking (I’m shallow), plus he’s kinda right about Nanao being way too naive. He goes easier on her when he comes to the conclusion that Nanao is basically 7 years old since that’s the age she was when she left the sengoku era for the first time.

I’m a bit torn about Kanetsugu because I feel like he would probably be my favourite with another type of mc. He basically wants Nanao to seduce him, but Nanao is too innocent for that. I want flirting but I’m not getting it. At one point they were talking about poetry, which I assumed was a type of intellectual flirting or something (too high class for me) but then Kanetsugu complains that she forgot she was supposed to be seducing him, so I guess not. The way he reacts to anything modern is really cute though, and he does have a lot scenes, I guess in compensation for not being around during ch3. Because he doesn’t have any scenes in ch3, his requirement for his first scene during the ch4 seems to spoil the existence of a route split, which makes sense since some of hachiyous are on opposite sides of a historical war.

Munenori is so quiet that I didn’t really learn anything new about him apart from him having the most love scenes for some reason. Maybe it’s because he takes awhile to warm up? Or we’re getting some ninja action.

I’m a bit confused about Yukimura because while he’s the poster boy and the story sometimes likes to emphasizes him, the other characters are put more on the spotlight than him. Maybe the main story is more about him? But that doesn’t seem to be the case so far, and he’s one of the more boring characters. The only thing of interest is that he deflected Nanao’s question about what type of woman he likes, which came across weird enough that even Nanao noticed it. It’s weird because he’s supposedly flirty but in a nice and genuine way so he should have answered it.

Tobi and Nao’s Friendship

That’s it that’s the post. Thank you and have a nice day.

(Fair warning this is v v long and has lots of screen shots and also i have no idea how to format Tumblr posts with this many images, so.)

Evidence, in no particular order (it’s chronological except for the last one, which should technically be second but it’s much longer than the others so I put it at the end):

Moment #1 during the Boys vs. Girls game when Tobi goes “NGH okay maybe I was wrong about the shorty” after the girls’ team takes advantage of Sora’s height in multiple ways to ensure that they score points (Ep 11, “The Boys’ Stubbornness and the Girls’ Pride”)

Moment #2, planning for the Kitasumi game. Nao proposes an idea. Tobi approves, and given how rarely you actually get that tone of voice from Tobi? I’d say that matters. He respects Nao as a basketball coach and strategist and you can fight me on this. (Ep 14, “Towards Victory”)

(LOOK AT HIM his hair looks like a bush I’m-)

Moment #3: “BARBEQUE!” (Ep 18, "Now...”) Less of a friendship moment and more of a moment that just had me in stitches. The boys start trying to convince Satsuki to buy them BBQ if they win the Kitasumi game during the break, and Satsuki is like “what no” but the boys start chanting “YAKINIKU, YAKINIKU, YAKINIKU!” Nao pulls Satsuki aside and whispers “Oh, come on, just promise, it’ll be a problem if they start rioting. Besides, there’s no way a new team like ours can beat a veteran team like Kitasumi.” Satsuki reluctantly agrees. Then-

(Nanao Nao you are the biggest mood you go girl don’t cook for those men unless you want to!) (Also Tobi’s face in the last shot ahdyakgcbksyfghd)

Moment #4, “You saved my ass.” During the Kitasumi game, Natsume “boi why do you have no stamina” Kenji gets a leg cramp and Nao tapes his leg, and he actually says, “Thank you, you saved my ass.” (Ep 20, “Last Play”)

Moment #5: “WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU???” Or, Tobi shows up late to the Taiei game. Nao is not happy. (Ep 41, Challenger)

Nao is not afraid of this guy despite the fact that he’s a foot taller than her and can take out just anybody in a fight, which I think says a lot for the fact that she doesn’t need to be afraid of him. (And also Nao is a badass.)

Last, longest, and arguably my favorite: After boys v girls, when Nao decides to stick with the team, Tobi goes, “listen here woman you did not beat me” and Nao goes “oh yes I did” (Ep 12, “TEAM”)

One of the longer moments, after Nao decides to stick with the team, Tobi goes, “Oi, little lady, don’t you dare think that you got the better of me with that weakass zone defense of yours. Watch this.” And then sinks a 3-pointer, and while the team goes “hE CAN SHOOT 3-POINTERS TOO???” Nao is totally chill about it:

(Look at Sora’s face in the last shot oh my god-)

Anyway. Yeah. Their friendship.

It started out with Tobi going, “she’s just a manager pretending to be a coach, coaches need to be experienced players,” but he grew to respect her and that is just -- YES.

M/W friendship without romantic subtext? Between equals who respect each other and acknowledge each other’s skills and that the other is a serious threat in the game of basketball? Especially since that respect is not something Tobi gives lightly, especially since Nao is a strategist instead of a player? *Claps* YES PLEASE.

Bookshelf Briefs 9/25/17

Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Vol. 11 | By Ark Performance | Seven Seas – One of the good things about this series is the way that not all of the ‘traitor’ mental models are changing sides due to love on Gunzou—in fact, almost none of them are. We’re gradually seeing that the mental models, as they gain more experience, are becoming more and more like humans. Which means they can screw up—I laughed out loud at Haruna’s “fake name.” But it also means they can bond with other humans, like Iona and her crew, or save other humans when it doesn’t gain them anything, like the two chibis who help Iori to not die in the engine room. As you can see, I may be very bad at names in this series, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it every time. – Sean Gaffney

Barakamon, Vol. 14 | By Satsuki Yoshino | Yen Press – We’re back on the island for this volume, as Handa goes forward with his decision to start a calligraphy school rather than try to follow in his father’s footsteps. That said, trying to make a real living at a school on an island where no one wants to pay that much money is going to be tough. Meanwhile, Miwa’s family is also having issues with finances, as her father decides to close the liquor store as he’s losing to the larger chain. Miwa’s frustration and indecisiveness is quite realistically shown—she doesn’t just go “I’ll take over for you, Dad” but has to be led there slowly because her future hasn’t really occurred to her. And the best news of all, Kanzaki goes back to Tokyo, and will not hopefully irritate future volumes with his presence. – Sean Gaffney

Dreamin’ Sun, Vol. 3 | By Ichigo Takano | Seven Seas – After Zen infuriating me in the second volume, I’m pleased to state that he’s much more tolerable here, possibly as I’m now sure that he’s not going to be endgame. That said, I do now suspect that endgame is going to be her landlord, which… well, on the bright side, he’s not her teacher. Much of this volume follows a theme of ‘dramatic shoujo,’ with the desire to chase your dreams warring with the reality of needing to actually deal with life crises, which may mean abandoning those dreams. Zen works much better in this plot than he did getting really angry at Shimana because he had no idea how to deal with love. This isn’t my favorite series by this author (I prefer orange), but it’s nice and solid shoujo. – Sean Gaffney

Everyone’s Getting Married, Vol. 6 | By Izumi Miyazono | Viz Media – While I’d appreciate this even more if Kamiya weren’t a creep and stalker, I do like the fact that the author is well aware of it and not really playing it as oh-so-sexy. In fact, sometimes it manages to be funny. A large part of this book involves Asuka and Ryu, still not getting married, deciding to get an apartment together—and naturally guess who their neighbor is. I also really enjoyed Asuka’s family, as her mom explains the reasoning behind why she got married, and her brother manages to be protective but not a brat. More to the point, I just really love Asuka and Ryu as a couple, married or not. The cliffhanger implies fresh disasters, but that’s OK. This series has really leveled up. – Sean Gaffney

Honey So Sweet, Vol. 8 | By Amu Meguro | VIZ Media – It feels like so many shoujo series have ended recently, and here’s one more. It doesn’t quite take the pair-the-spares approach, as one guy in the group remains single, but I do admit the sudden love interest for Sou is out of left field. However, seeing Yashiro and Misaki finally get together was freakin’ adorable, as is Onise’s crying when he realizes how much Sou loves Nao, followed by Sou actually laughing at Onise’s blinding honestly. A brief glimpse at the future six years hence is followed by the original short story that was the basis for the series. It’s cute, it’s frothy, and I’m totally okay with that. – Michelle Smith

Kiss Him, Not Me!, Vol. 12 | By Junko | Kodansha Comics – On the bright side, the couple I wanted to get together actually got together, and the author’s notes implied this was something she actually planned in advance (never a guarantee with this series). On the other hand, I’m always wary in a reverse harem (or indeed a regular harem) when the couple gets together and the series is still ongoing. Is this really going to last? It also doesn’t help that we get a lot of backstory of how they got to know each other in a flashback after the fact. Still, it’s sweet enough, The comedy comes from them behaving like a newlywed couple in class, much to the frustration of nearly everyone. As for the drama, god help us, we have another pissed off third party breaking things up. Variable even when it’s good. – Sean Gaffney

Nisekoi: False Love, Vol. 23 | By Naoshi Komi | Viz Media – Well, it’s finally become clear what the endgame is, as Raku realizes what his feelings really are. That said, we’ve got two more volumes after this, and he isn’t sure if his love for Chitoge is greater than his love for Onodera, even if the audience is. And so all the heroines who are still in Japan get one last lap around the track so show off why they would also be an awesome choice for any guy reading this series. What interested me most was 1) Fu-chan, Haru’s friend, who is as close to a girl in love with her female best friend as you can get in a Jump series, and 2) the ongoing beta pairing, which seems to get closer and closer to reality the more violent Ruri gets. (She’s not a lead girl, so isn’t attacked for violence, I guess.) Good but dragging on. – Sean Gaffney

Of the Red, the Light, and the Ayakashi, Vol. 8 | By nanao and HaccaWorks* | Yen Press – I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the euphemisms “eating” and “taking a meal” in this series, so it’s nice to see that it’s made more explicit here—no, they don’t say “kill,” but you literally see the endgame happening on a pile of corpses that are the previous “meals.” We also see Tougo getting guilt-tripped into accepting his own sacrifice, showing him flashbacks that give us a lot more context regarding Akane’s disappearance. Combine that with the role his younger sister played now being complete, and what can he do except be eaten? That said, we have two more volumes to go after this, so I’m fairly confident that this isn’t the endgame. How do we avoid the meal, though? – Sean Gaffney

Sweetness & Lightning, Vol. 8 | By Gido Amagakure | Kodansha Comics – Tsumugi has started elementary school, which means tasty school lunches that she and her father replicate at home and a field day for which Tsumugi powers up by eating tonkatsu (lucky!) the night before and during which she runs with such determination that it actually made me cry. Meanwhile, Kotori has managed to convince her parents that she’s serious about taking over the restaurant. It looks like the series might be doing something new going forward—now that Inuzuka has enough skill to tackle new things on his own, he might be doing that while Kotori trains with her mother. That’d be interesting, too! Also, I am seriously considering attempting to make my own tonkatsu! – Michelle Smith
