Wow I think I just prevented another visit to the doctor earlier this week. *laughs*

No, not talking about what was effectively going on a date with Ogura Yui in my new fanfic story of the week even though I wonder what I would've done to avoid that. *giggles* Also not talking about all the excitement I was getting looking at so many of them new thin book covers from Melonbooks I will get a heart attack. *laughs* Instead, I'm just going to watch Anime in peace, hoping that working at night the one day won't haunt me in my dreams yet again. *cringe*

Anyways welcome back, next week will sure be exciting because the new package is on time and in due course! Yay, at least we got something right, and I'm sure I will do the same for the Melonbooks order next week. *silence* We can but hope, it is edging me for weeks on end already. *laughs*

Okay Nagomi, we don't have to do this, dish-washing can be a man's job. I say that without ever doing them? *giggles* Apart from wishing Chizuru was the housewife we all want it's not just you Kazuya, this new episode (#KanoKari42) introduces us to even more trouble even though we really just thought this trip will involve... let's see, Kazuya and his family so 4, Chizuru and Ruka that'll be 6, Kibe will be 7, Kuribayashi that's 8... *laughs* Hey, I know calling 3 taxis is overkill, but if we don't we'll be playing that seat arrangement video game (Edit: "Is This Seat Taken?") on the non-Kinoshita family ride from the train station to the resort. *giggles* That is not to say this isn't a problem even with them rather spaced out and I don't mean confused, but I guess having it in double meaning now made more sense just because. We have Kuri-kun here after a while not hanging out with Kazuya specifically I assume he's still with Kibe, because of that awkward incident that led to Ruka-chan having to reject the heck out of the guy as a rental girlfriend... somehow became friends with Chizuru which isn't a lie here, but the trial girlfriend thing while Kazuya is trying to get an actual girlfriend... I wish I was a clueless idiot like Kibe. *laughs* Which is good for now, Ruka-chan will keep quiet of thinking to get in between the "couple" Nagomi-san has always desired for it is her family line at stake after all who wouldn't want a rental daughter-in-law but let's not say to soon. *giggles* Still, between the wedding ring Chizuru was entrusted with that now Kazuya has told her to hold on for a bit more so he can make her hold on to it for the rest of her life *dabs* and Chizuru just panicking over thinking that Ruka-chan has made Kazuya's tissue sessions irrelevant because we got condoms now LMAO haha ah hey, this is going to be quite the awkward scenario we have put ourselves, and I assume the author knows what they are doing after we have come this far. *laughs* Yes, including putting Mami-chan in this somehow. *cringe* This is some game of chess that any genius might not be able to figure out, but Kazuya has drawn out his luck so far into the Hawaiians and that's the name of the resort they're in I wish we would be in Hawaii but *laughs* so let's see how long he can take this. Considering he's still a virgin and has never has s*x with anyone even ONCE?? Next week's preview is without tissues, by the way, and we get to see everything the girls have to offer. *giggles* Not you, Mami-chan. *laughs* All in all... just as Kazuya said, this is a watershed- More like a water park which is what they are at actually. *laughs* AND THIS HAS MAMI-CHAN IN IT??? *cringe* Okay, I say that I'm more of a sadist, but I must be a f**king masochist for watching this and getting baited for whatever drama this is for four seasons already. *laughs* But yeah, sure, I'll go long as how Chizuru has so far, just to make... I have no one to please, but I am a Chizuru stan just like Nagomi-san so that'll be enough. *giggles*

P.S. "Let's get through this together." Like, this has so many meanings in itself with respect to this series and/or season? But I'm just wishing Ten-chan will say this to me IRL and give me the strength to live. *sob* (I know right, she will just laugh at me tbh)

P.P.S. "All I care about is preventing you asking (Chizuru) out." Hey Ruka-chan can we not- I also just realized you need to be in a relationship with at least 2 women for this to work. *silence* I'm so f**king single I'm even more single than my super single bed what of it *laughs*

Oh, this one got a scholarship, this Monica. *laughs* Oh well, might as well teach her dancing in this new episode (#SilentWitch06) so we don't disgrace the Norton family? Yeah, that's still a shtick by the way, don't you forget. *giggles* Also, tea parties. Monica here only drinks coffee grinding on formulas all night (Get it? Because she's horny-) (Because she's a workaholic-) and you expect her to perform in this academy? The professor is right, we should've called in a body double for this investigation. *giggles* Yeah Nero, you dance better, you want in? *laughs* Still, this is quite an experience we have here. Tea party first because apart from whoever the f**k just threw Monica's tea box away and ruin whatever greatness she was going to make of us and I'm a simp (lol), but to be fair I rather drink coffee I will insult your family line if you fight me for it, and Lana-chan just drank it all so I'm sure she didn't sleep that night. *laughs* Remember, Monica loves her coffee pot more than you. *sob* And yes how can we not talk about Claudia who is probably voiced like, Seto Asami or something with the deep voice. (Edit: Oh, by Kayanon, hey it has been a while tbh the last time I saw you was in my fanfic-) I like how she is intelligent and I would argue smarter than AI models today lmao resident AI we call them, who is also a fan of the Silent Witch by the way, can't even keep her mouth shut on insults even though we are all learning and this is an academy? And you're in the student council? No wonder everyone in there is toxic- *laughs* Okay that's not true but you sure she is in there? I'm glad we didn't know of her until now. *dabs* Anyways, this is probably still better off than the dancing sessions Monica had to do with (1) the one kid who Cyril literally just said he can't dance for sh*t lol then why not you do it, with (2) Nero the cat in human form and as I said we might as well let them infiltrate the academy lmao then we just teach him to not step on people *laughs* also with (3) Cyril because I think Monica likes the dude now hehe what we even doing here, and last but not least (4) Felix because why not, we can chant a math research project while looking at his brooch. *laughs* All in all... hey I think without the math it'll be more entertaining, but I think I'm proven wrong with whoever brought in Britney Spears into this episode- Get it, because she sang "Toxic" like, 20 years ago? No one will get this. *laughs* No one will also get why Monica's tea box was been disposed, as if it was an evil trick by the devil who also likes to throw insults as a hobby. *silence* That Claudia saw Monica bring in some good tea, huh, since she knows about them tea leaves? You f**king b*tch- More a-hole antics next week I guess! *giggles* I can see through everything even women's clothing- NO NO NO WAIT *laughs*

P.S. "Father lived up to everyone's expectations and cured many illnesses. And yet..." Did they just burn him alive?? What happened- Oh, he discovered a new flu variant. *cringe* SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT- *laughs*

P.P.S. "Isabelle has shown me what the typical behaviours of a villainous noblewoman are like, but..." Tanezaki Atsumi fans be foaming out of their mouths right about now showing Isabelle laugh so many times "I still don't think I can handle one." Hey Monica-chan no one can be as evil as you if Louis were to know of this. *laughs*

[As usual Monica is the reaction queen and Claudia doesn't even come close so here's more *giggles*]

And then hard cut to reality and it's just going to boomerang back at you when you have to do that performance review at work. *cringe* Haha but hey whatever it takes, people. Even in this new episode where we are in the school festival (#KiseKoi18) we are still HYPED UP ON COPIUM (lmao) hoping the class can win the school festival competition, with high hopes on compensating the class store with the beauty pageant and since the former is not going to win that easily... yeah, the stakes are high on this one. On Gojou. *giggles* Which is no wonder he's only got more stressed since he has to basically redo the outfit as it wasn't tailored (literally) to Marin-chan's sizes because well, Rei-sama isn't stacked. *laughs* It affected him so much he almost just forgot everyone else in his life can be depended on, from the grandfather making him meals so he can concentrate on the outfit (and Marin-chan we gotta continue the family line and she's got a great butt haha what) to even the classmates who only wondered if this dude had eaten his lunch and instead just thinking of painting every single petal himself to make the rainbow flower that was needed as part of the outfit. Thanks to some kid smart enough in class and a process called flower dyeing (haha i definitely did not spend 10 minutes searching for that) it wasn't that hard to make that after all. Trust me, doing the make-up on Marin-chan to turn her into an ikemen was harder. Not because Gojou was worried about his skills, no, he literally works on dolls this life-sized one is just an extension (of this dong-) so that's not a thing to worry. Not because the whole class is looking after clearing up on Day 2 of the school festival because what else you gonna do besides crowding up the sewing room in school? *silence* It's because it's all up to him for the class to win. Yeah, I know, it's a lot to make sure the performance and everything is perfect and we can charm the heck out of the student council president of a judge who is female apparently so yeah, no sweat, Gojou. *laughs* I mean, he didn't, you saw what happened on stage. Cringe, but cool, and yes if I were a woman I would also scream and say yes to them winning. *giggles* All in all... damn, you can ignore all the emotional moments in this episode, but heck, if you weren't touched by Rei-sama's appearance... what's wrong with you? *laughs* But yeah, fantastic episode as always and damn it just gets better, but seriously though, we can do more romance. And not with like, 5 other guys Marin only wants some alone time with her boi. *giggles* In a love hotel. With him holding her waist with his bare hands- I think we're good without the photo booth. *laughs* Damn, and we are only halfway through this season too, dude! So yeah, more to amaze, more to enjoy, more to love about this series I guess, and I mean the relationship between Marin and Gojou. *wink* See you then.

P.S. "I chose the sewing practice room because no one ever comes in here, so why?!" Hey bro, everyone's just here for the Rei-sama reveal including me so hurry up with the makeup will ya? *laughs*

P.P.S. "Her fair skin, huge eyes, shapely nose, and lips, her slender fingers... I can't take my eyes off her... I wonder what this feeling is." That is called love, my boy. *giggles* For Rei-sama. *laughs*

Welp, fun's over. It's confrontation time. *laughs* Actually it's not a confrontation and more like a therapy session in this new episode (#KaoruHana06) where you know, we talk our hearts out and ask for forgiveness in this time and age- This is not real life, I need you to remember that before we proceed. *giggles* For starters, between Subaru and Kaoruko. I was waiting for Subaru to ask the one question which is basically what Kaoruko thinks of her boi, and it took like half an episode if I didn't remember wrongly because how would I, I have been posting screens all this time while wiping my tears. *sob* I would argue that Subaru perfectly and might be almost too perfectly describe my true nature which I will never divulge to anyone even 3 decades in because heck this world isn't nice, but this Anime world is, so I'm glad to see that unfold. Because honestly, isn't it ironic that Subaru can't get over her overprotective nature just because quite literally, she is afraid of losing her true self? Things come and go, dude, and so will your girl- Okay let's not say that. *laughs* I'll try this again, it's also precisely because you guys are with each other that really explains how hard it is to not care for each other, but it doesn't have to be absolute. It doesn't have to be protective. But to be fair again, it's their first and I meant for the two of them in experiencing whatever they are doing now, and they took a step backwards each in order to resolve their tensions, so I call this a win-win. Trust me, I was worried if they had to touch on like "oh you were the only one who cared for me because my parents didn't" because I'll be like OOF and thank goodness this series isn't like this. *giggles* The other half of course is when Rintarou decided to ask for forgiveness from the devil that is Hoshina Subaru and that- Wait, we okay to meet up after school just far away from school premises because f**king stupid adults? Alright. *giggles* It was that easy, and it was that straightforward, it's as if Subaru was possessed by an angel after whatever happened the night before- Yeah, the angel is Kaoruko, blessing upon the skies on us with her light. *dabs* So yeah blah blah we are friends now the kid don't know shit btw imagine being friends with all your co-workers and management- *cringe* All in all... *applauds* BEST ROMANCE ANIME OF THE SEASON- Best of the year candidate already, I miss these character focus episodes. I literally clapped until I'm tired, so about 5 seconds at the least. *giggles* Also I might be too hard on myself figuratively and physically, I think my hands are starting to hurt. *laughs* But no hurt, people, we have healed, and the world is shining bright again. Told you we can fix Subaru, sadly it isn't from me, but still. *giggles* Hey, all's well is well, and I think this is also where things will change, because apart from the usual banter between the 2 schools, and Saku being a-hole once in a while against girls from Kikyo... we are all nice guys here. Hey, if you know to make friends and not offend one, you're already better than me. *silence* Anyways haha don't narc, this might be our highest expectations this season incoming, and I can't wait to see what happens next. To end this, just an apology here since everyone is doing it, Kaoruko? If I end up liking Subaru, I'm very sorry I need a reason to like Yaya-san and I think this might just be it. *wink* See you next time, fams.

P.S. "She was petite and adorable and so beautiful, with her long, glossy hair." I think Subaru what you are describing is a- FBI NO NO NO *laughs*

P.P.S. "Because you're so kindhearted you put up with me..." Okay okay Subaru you keep saying we had to put up with you, but you don't know how much we had to put up with Kaoruko this little cutie best Anime girl ever I want to bang her now and her? *laughs* (I hear the sirens no no)

[Subaru special!!! No, not Oozora. *laughs*]

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable, of current year unless specified)

New single is expected meh thank goodness we don't have to do another CD review when we are going to do 2 for last month haha, UNLIMITS is fine I caught attention to their B-side so I might just give that. I also took the time to listen to Scenarioart male vocalist's solo acoustic EP, and uh... don't ask, I'm only in for their Rock music, not like Gotch or something palatable. *giggles*

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

Wow this is a lot to take in. *giggles* Give me a minute while I listen to all of them new stuff. *laughs*

Ok I'm back. *giggles* ClariS has historically been disappointing with their TWO B-sides so I don't expect this to please even though the previews sound good, so we shall see in 2 weeks. I will take a listen to Inorin and especially SpecialThanks because when's the last time I sat down and watched a live? Hey, thank you live audio, it's better than nothing these days honestly. *cringe* SHE'S live videos will be those we saw last weekend in full by the way, so they are just segmenting this up so we can re-live it forever. And then going to the upcoming live is not on my agenda. *laughs* And I might have to listen to an Aqua Timez release in 2025, wild.

All things considered, these news are great- NOT YOU OOISHI MASAYOSHI I SKIPPED SPECIAL OTHERS BECAUSE OF YOU MOTHERF**KER- *laughs*

(*Release type in square brackets, else assume single song release)

I saw this on the Skream list and I did take a listen to the title songs a bit last week if you recall, so I'll give this a proper listen next week. And then I'll catch up on all the digital singles which released so far, and there are a lot and so damn scattered I have no choice to go find them one by one.

Being a music hobbyist is tough, isn't it? *giggles*

Oh wow Marinka-chan's Onsen Radio program is now not under premium, so is that a good thing or bad thing? *laughs* Well, it was paid up until the two times she got depressed and stopped work, so I suppose it's still good? *shrugs* I also spent the weekend watching someone stream the new Mafia game in which I personally played the worst game of its series so 3 thanks for asking haha, but you know, gotta appreciate the AA games with good story and subpar gameplay so that people like me can experience the linear though free-to-explore game by myself. Well, Mafia 3 got too free and people didn't like it so this prequel was not that at least. *laughs* Oh well, wait till I get a more powerful PC and we can talk again. Mini PC with GPU stand?? Without an aircon in my room this is going to gather dust enough to cover my grave. *cringe* So yeah probably not, but I should be thinking of this new home setup along with, well, whether I want to work from home by changing jobs, among other things. *silence* Time will tell if I need to move, as per the Lord- I watched too much Christianity for today. *laughs* See you guys next time, and until next time, oh boy, we have sinned so bad with them goods fro Japan and it isn't even the thin books. *giggles* I'll see you there.

P.S. I also played Minase (someone send help haha this is what happens when you see her twice in livestreams this week and one was unexpected on Oonishi Saori's uh, solo livestream LMAO) "Minami Lane" which is a simple business management game released exactly a year ago when I played it on Friday, but yeah, it's too easy so I'll take it at my own pace when I have time to play, enjoy the indie feels like I love to- Oooh new Battlefield beta. *laughs*
