I like how I just realized last night that Comiket this year starts today, not yesterday. This is because they have a public holiday on Monday, it even shows on my calendar. *silence* But I don't, so... *shrugs*

Also I realized that one of the items I pre-ordered from Melonbooks got cancelled so welp Akamoku-sensei you will just get a mention next month lol, but hey, we have like, a long queue of candidates I can talk about so... I shall go with those!! *giggles* Hey, maybe next time I will arrange this pre-order thing better. *shakes head* I will never with proxy shopping no way

Anyways haha time just passes slower because I am waiting for so many good things to happen while slogging at work already, so let's talk about Anime and maybe not music this week!

Yeah alright she calls me "onii-chan" but I PROMISE YOU THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK- *laughs* I know, who am I upsetting anyways. In this new episode where Asamura already has a younger sister what's wrong with having another one anyways (#GimaiSeikatsu06), you know how it's just everyday life until we add the one new guy in to create chaos? That's Maaya-san in a nutshell. *laughs* And looks like this episode, we are talking about emptiness. Well, not Maaya-san haha her life is filled to the brim at least with the company of others, I meant Asamura. But I suppose Maaya here might have helped us figure that out in the first place, hear me out. For starters, I'm just so glad this isn't like, "KimiSomu" or other shows where the most popular girl is such a B*TCH- Or just someone who is annoying to hang out with or dislocated or just weird lmao it's all those, but Maaya here, just like the rest of them, is still damn tame for what lively personality she might have. But most importantly of all, as she helped Asamura cook for Saki-chan as she studies for her upcoming retest she knows about these two. But rest assured, she only knows they are stepsiblings, and nothing else. *laughs* Because for whatever is going through her head is definitely not aligning with any of them even though she keeps pointing out that we are getting a romance plot train running over here. No no Maaya-san it's too early to talk about romance you gotta let them cook (literally) we are only halfway through this season. *giggles* Okay moving on, let's get back to talk about the dude. He feels empty. *laughs* So empty, he screws up at work, and keeps worrying about stuff. Ironically, it's all thanks to Saki-chan. I guess it's unlike him to do so but as he explains to Maaya too earlier on, there really isn't much going on, but then he keeps like, worrying about this imouto of his somehow, you know, concerned of a fellow family member even though we all know she can take care of herself and more. So uh... Saki-chan is going to get wet in the pouring rain, right? Like, with no umbrella and still stuck on the rain? Like, so wet we don't need a beach episode? *laughs* Thank you Anime for proving me right too haha, and not surprisingly, Saki-chan is already by the corridor, back safely at the apartment block. *giggles* Yes, Asamura was worried for nothing. Well, it isn't nothing it proved one thing, that everyday life worries of a parent to their child type of feeling. Maybe, just maybe, he is overprotective of his stepsister. And then she still wants to return the favour because he cooked for her just the one time? Man, these cascading returns. At some point we will have to return the favour with our bodies- All in all haha, why are we still being so scientific about all this family relationship? *giggles* I guess it's fine to depend on each other and worry upon each other, but this is just another level, and it might be creeping me out haha. Also, a dependable younger sister isn't the problem, Saki-chan. It's how you are depended on. But yeah, she is more of a give than take person, so I SUPPOSE WE SHALL LIVE WITH MY STEPSISTER AND HER STUBBORNNESS, I GUESS!! *giggles* Title drop, by the way. *laughs* Next episode sounds like fun even without the summer theme in the summer vacation, so that's good news we will have some fun at work then. Well, Shiori-senpai will. *giggles* Can't wait to see them fireworks indoors amirite fellas? *dabs*

[Not gonna lie here we are all voice actress lovers here lol, but damn am I getting more into Nakashima Yuki's voice as we go along. Yeah, and she does have the rather cute face too so... Haha okay me what happened to liking Yomiya Hina in "Shoushimin Series"]

P.S. "If you ever have a romantic awakening, you can ask me for advice." Bro, let me get laid first. *laughs* Also, who has the balls to say that they are the love master? Hehe just the only one I guess. *silence* KATORI-SENPAI!! *laughs*

P.P.S. "Sorry, I asked (Maaya) to help me study at home." Hey, next time specify who's home to go to, okay? *laughs*

Yeah Rin-chan is happy she doesn't have to leave at all, thank goodness. *giggles* Because if she left how are we getting all this ACTION!!!??? *laughs* In this new episode where how are we already halfway into this happiness (#GijiHarem06), the school festival is up soon, so if we could just stop fooling around and get into the bit that would be great. Oh, we did? Very good. *giggles* Firstly, getting into the acting. That part Rin-chan did well on her first main role for the school festival so kudo to her for that, and despite her not being able to go around the festival because she had to rehearse her lines and not screw up, Eiji just did it for her I guess so win-win? *laughs* Then again, that school festival isn't that important since she is getting a way better reward than all of this: A date with the senpai because the guy was dumb (or clever) enough to suggest that Rin-chan gets a reward... however the performance goes. *taps brain* I mean, 200 IQ move by the way haha thanks author, and yeah, Rin-chan got what she wanted, more time with the senpai. Like, way, WAY more time. Like, even sleeping together way more time- How did the hot spring inn's resting room end up being so empty in broad daylight we can let a couple sleep together in peace? *giggles* Hey, don't ask questions, we have 20 people in there, remember, this is a harem. *laughs* The confession(?) was kinda cringe yet wholesome I can't even, somehow Rin-chan wants to do this again, but the senpai took it real seriously and you know, why not right? Admitting as a couple is easier than doing whatever the damn "RoshiDere" is going on for half  a season now. *laughs* Still, life after that one not proper confession is getting interesting, and I'm sure we will see more in future episodes, the time for the acting is over. We are in the cooking phase now, guys. *giggles* All in all... I gotta say, I wish I had the video camera Eiji was holding on to. *laughs* Well, the real life equivalent is recording Hayami Saori voice acting this whole Anime, dude?? I mean, just watch back again it's that simple. *dabs* From Rin-chan's adorable lines which I think I have found a successor to that meme I have been using since I watched "Seitokai Yakuindomo" lol, to her being scared of the classroom corridor at night, to then just herself being just absolutely embarrassed on what she has done even though it's not acting at all... I think I've had my fill of Nanakura Rin here, not gonna lie here. *giggles* Seven servings worth, dude, you still want more? *laughs* But yes, if you need a reason to like this series, I hope you aren't into Eiji's voice actor. *laughs* I mean, you can, but I can't imagine why though this story CLEARLY has a narrow audience range and it's doing it too well even overdelivering, so we should just be grateful that Rin-chan is just spending more time with her senpai just as she wanted. *thumbs up* We are already halfway into this series, things just only get spicier and I don't mean the bento they ate lol, and I'm still surprised on every corner this series is taking, so we are good, I'm legit concerned they will run out of content. Well, let's see what they got cooked up now that they are somewhat pseudo-couple? Haha yeah, "giji couple" lol we should call them that from now on. *dabs*

P.S. "And if you changed schools, I wouldn't get to see your acting no more." That's true this story wouldn't have happened, dude. *giggles* "Still, the idea of being reunited at work after a few years, that'll be pretty cool too." True true- What are you Eiji, the author? *laughs*

P.P.S. "Wait, doesn't this next scene involve me crying and clinging to this tree?!" This isn't much until I tell you that the tree is just Eiji posing on stage LMAO also I think all the nature lovers just left haha I'm sorry guys

Well if no one ate the mustard then SOMEONE IS A F**KING LIAR!!! *giggles* I know, I saw the grin on Kobato's face already. *laughs* In this new episode where maybe we get Yuki-chan heal a bit lol someone help her pls (#Shoushimin05), well turns out we don't have to. *laughs* Okay okay spoilers liao we need to relax here. Not for that one dude though! *laughs* Alright alright man, maybe we go through this week's mystery and how I YOU can figure it out halfway through this episode. Yes, I'll write this article differently this time around so I won't get stuck writing it for 3 days like that other dude in the newspaper club BOOM GOTTEM. *dabs* Well, let's set the scene. Kobato was delivering some documents to Kengo in the club room with 3 other members. They had to decide who to write an article that somehow no one wants to do, and instead of just pointing fingers, they rather let luck decide and each eat one of them pastries to see if they get mustard-ed. *laughs* (Please, there's a girl present we can't make these dirty jokes) (Then again yo hey girl how'cha doin') (Oh Seto Asami again? What a coincidence) Problem is, no one got the mustard. Yeah, no one has to write the article, end of story. *laughs* Alright, and because there was drama in the newspaper club and I don't mean fiery headlines I mean how the relationships between the members are on fire GOTTEM, Kengo is hard-pressed to solve this one out, and that's when his friend WE come to the equation. [SPOILER WARNING] So, for starters, something you SHOULD have realized when you hear about the club president place down that plate taken from the home econ room and that guy who had to sabotage one of them, is that they have NEVER once mentioned how many of these small pastries were on the plate. Kobato confirmed this with the statements of all the people present, that no one would've known how many there were apart from the 2 guys who LITERALLY did not give a statement about this. Get it now? *taps brain* Next up, it's to confirm that the person who ate it would know none of them. With the member's statements on what happened ever since Seba-san placed that plate down, he could not confirm how many were left as he... left (lmao) because the table was messed up before one of them tidied it up. So, it was already assumed there were 4 normal pastries on a plate. You don't even need to know if it was mustard or habanero sauce dumped in one of them, because someone else might have ate it before all that. Which brings us back to what happened at the start of this episode, and yes, I get why Kobato is already laughing his way to the bakery where he will meet the victim of this whole mystery we have talked about so far. *laughs* All in all, I love myself a great episode of a mystery I can crack myself even though I don't really know who was the one who got the short straw. *giggles* Still, that was fun to figure out, you don't really need all the clues but they did hint on deception because of the drama that is going on within the club members, so yeah, Kobato was just being curious as usual. *silence* What was this about a series to become ordinary members of society solving everyday mysteries? Why was Yuki-chan secretly eating off pastries off without asking for permission? We will never know. But we DO know one thing: Never get too greedy. Like, when we put a notice that if you can take a sweetie after you handed in a survey, don't think out of the box. *giggles* I know right, Yuki-chan would've been safe just taking a candy HAHAHAHAHA I'm sorry dude this is too dumb I can't even

P.S. "But it's even more absurd to think someone could have eaten it with everyone present." Uh oh spoiler alert haha that's the point dude no one said someone ate one and didn't run to the bathroom *dabs* Yeah I already figured it out lol call me famous detective *sees ending* Ah. *laughs*

Hey, I did listen to songs this week, okay? Just... all the old songs thanks to listening to Chilli Beans. recent live audio album haha well I'm not giving TrySail's new single what else is new, and not like THE ORAL CIGARETTES held itself even though how many times I must tell them that these hype songs are not getting them much cred on my side, but hey that's just me. *giggles* 

(*From Twitter/X; Information accurate as of writing)

Yes petit milady's one is airing as I'm writing this but I actually don't care but if you know of them and miss them please help yourself hopefully it's archived as I write this too. *giggles* Otherwise, Ten-chan music video reveals are always great to make GIFs out of (legally) (lol), and I would argue the new music videos released from them idols aren't doing too well either so HELL YEAH MORE AQUA TIMEZ LIVE PLS hehe

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable)

Well, this is good enough. *giggles* This I will listen, you bet. *silence* I think I should just go listen to more live video performances lol

Another thing that is making time pass difficult is of course, my recent immersion(?) into AI art generation. Well, specifically of Anime girls so that's kinda cringe in itself if you asked last year's me, but this is all for research *wink* and no doubt I will do a write-up showcasing all the art I "created" in due time. Meanwhile, I guess I get to be as empty as Asamura in "Gimai Seikatsu" trying to find things to do to her stepsister- I don't have that (haha) (we are talking about reality) so I'll deal with the blog instead. You maaaaay have seen some interesting things happen around here which will just result in me refreshing the cache way too often so forgive me if it wipes off the disclaimers off my doujinshi posts- You just have to agree to the terms again, no guilt. *laughs* 

I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE OONISHI SAORI'S BIRTHDAY LIVESTREAM WAS ONLY ON TUESDAY hey everyone I want her hanging out with friends so f**king casually to be all Instagram lives moving forward, you get me? *dabs* No more camera at wall talk shows and calling for help, Yaya-san. *laughs* Inorin was so chill in that stream I can't believe that is basically what I'm writing her as in my fanfics lol now to let her save me-
