Man, this week has been such a drag. *laughs*

Well as in, everything that was not supposed to go wrong went wrong, honestly. Even in the Comiket review I somehow bought THREE (3) copies of iren-sensei's book (you're welcome again, by the way) just because I didn't check in Buyee when I was checking out, thinking the total price of those books were correct. *silence* Then again, maybe not buying them might not hit the minimum for free local shipping, so probably for the better. *giggles* So maybe I'm not going to count next time, I won't end up with 3 of the same book again. *laughs*

ANYWAYS welcome back to not fanfics or birthdays or maybe I should still wish Marinka-chan a happy birthday again (in the fanclub so I can get the *blessed* hehe), because whatever she is having with her cat is probably better than what I had THIS WHOLE WEEK. Heck, even presents from her fans. I have to wrap a gift for ME. *sigh*

ANIME AND MUSIC TIME!! *laughs*

Oh yeah, we're here, about to send Sumipe off to a man. *laughs* Hey me, can we not jinx it here please? Because if this is real as we picked up in this new episode (#PrismRondo11) then Sumipe Catherine will not be a virgin no more after tonight. *giggles* But instead, this quickly turned into a rescue mission because even if we have absolutely NO proof Kit is locked up somewhere like he might have as a kid but he isn't now, we will just need to believe that he is. At a place we know of. *laughs* And reachable by car. Maybe. *giggles* How convenient lol, but above all else, we know Christopher's brother Richard is planning on something even calling for "the change in circumstances", and we know that Kit can't be locked anyways he's as free as a bird anyways, so the search for him begins. Okay, I wanted to write it as "but the search for him- Because the girls didn't really need to search for him, as with all coincidences that happened in this episode. For starters, Kit came back to the Hall I wouldn't want to type it again lol let's call it the D-Hall *laughs* somehow drawn by Aphrodite the horse or I don't know, do they have CCTV in the mansion at that time? *giggles* How Kit figured that out or even the head maid but the latter might be easier the bro was just followed *laughs* and then brought to the dad which, um, let's just say he's fine and even if he isn't, his brother will be so it'll be eons before Kit has to fulfil his aristocratic duties. Ironically this is similar to the father's story, for the one and only Henry Church also sailed the high seas to make beautiful works of art... which now make sense why there are so many paintings of the wife, and that was AFTER he walked the world and settled down with the wife gave the second half of his life meaning before they passed away, RIP. Kit definitely sounds like a similar life to his father even being told by the Professor the same way as he was told by the father (WHAAAAATTTTTT) (lol) blah blah this is so gay I can't even- *laughs* But as you can imagine even in the trip back to London, Kit definitely realized that he needed to do... something? Despite giving the clear road on the runway to confess to Lili with Richard and Catherine out of the way, he still steadfastly refused to do so. All he did was like, gave her his coat for the cold trip back home. *shrugs* Which brings us to the second half where (#PrismRondo12) Lili then showed how similar she felt like to Kit as his father was to his mom- Why are we even drawing parallels here? *giggles* But seeing the end of Lili's six-month stay is coming to an end, and not like she managed to win a contest without Kit around or even then she still didn't win...? HOW?? *laughs* I mean, if she ended up going to her boi's place to help him with his fever after he caught a cold thanks to her... Yeah, tell me this isn't a romance series, tell it to my face. *giggles* I guess the problem is WHEN will the guy do so, and to some extent, what he did to Lili's sketchbook. And FORGET ABOUT IT we are going to drink until Lili pukes all the way back to Japan- I mean, the board room. *laughs* All in all... hey, remember artists drew art following topics and subjects and take days even weeks to come up with a masterpiece? I miss those days. *laughs* I also have thought about it as Lili summarized everything as her fault, that is this series teaching us about meeting people? The initial impression and afterwards knowing about them feels? Also, why is everyone so gay now? *laughs* As in happy, who f**king cares if Kit and Peter make of a great couple. *giggles* So rounding this up, this is a story about art and people after all, most importantly. You can't be everyone and everywhere after all, this isn't Kifflom. *laughs* (Sorry for the GTA V joke) But what the series lacks in some level of detail and logic, they ensure the story flows nicely. Putting everything to fall into place is an art that is hard to master, but I know that this series at least managed to hit the nail on the head. Would've been better to hit it on the board but hey, prove me wrong. We are halfway through the story, I would LOVE to see a time skip instead of convincing the mom via what, pigeon mail?? *laughs* And that will also make of a good excuse for Kit to experience Japan instead and make this relationship between him and Lili all the more interesting, so we shall see. We can make a better life story than Henry Church. *giggles*

P.S. "We will withdraw (Kit's) enrolment soon." Hey finally Lili-chan can be number one...!! No, wait. *laughs* "In the first place, he's not the type of man who can waste his time painting." I agree- NO LILI-CHAN SHUT UP YOU NEED THIS TO STAY *giggles* "Kit is important to all of us." Hey Lili-chan I think it's only to you. *dabs*

P.P.S. "No matter how far away, we're under the same sky." Aw, that's sweet, Lili-chan. *blessed* (I'm not going to think of how bad that sounds too, we are in a century ago when everything is booming unlike now-) "We're all chicks who have barely hatched." Hey Joffrey, there's only 2 chicks in this table right now what are you talking about- *dabs*

I don't know much about chemistry, but isn't it just all carbon? *shrugs* Haha I have a Bachelor's Degrre by the way but in this new episode where you are a laundromat who forgot they have one lol (#KiNiShite07) you just do your own thing in this hot summer's day and NOT touch on digital transformation as a business in a remote town in the Shizuoka Prefecture? *dabs* (Yes, I looked that up haha Atami is a city in that area) Dude, just squeeze them boobs, Kinme-san. A queue will suddenly appear on your doorstep. *laughs* I CANNOT IMAGINE Nairo-chan just taking short videos of just rack to promote the establishment, but hey, it'll be good marketing. *dabs* But no, as not pure as this series is (lmao), they still gave it a knack on doing social media for instance since there is a lot to digital transformation I would recommend you to consult your nearest consultation firm LOL NO PLEASE DON'T- So yeah, maybe the salesman who pops in once in a while and gets excited seeing kids interested in helping Wakana is a bad idea. *laughs* No really, how is he not arrested yet? *laughs* I guess salesman do be like this, the most stereotypical one even. Because he probably kept suggesting the online exposure stuff to Wakana like he's asking her to be a prostitute (lol) but she isn't very good at even using the computer I assume those memories are also wiped out from before 2 years ago- She probably doesn't even know how to use the computer mouse. *laughs* So yeah, the friends of Nairo-chan as I would call them because who f**king remembers their names it was hard difficult remembering Nairo already lol, and I would say they did a pretty decent job. Obviously, we aren't getting views almost immediately as she has suggested, ironically only followed by the supplier which is a start, but I would think it was because they had to show Wakana and her cleavage and her stain-cleaning skills online (lmao) that caught the attention of an influencer who wouldn't mind paying big bucks to send something for her to clean, and still did it perfectly? Yeah, THAT is how you get in views and not showing some dumb stuff on your short videos channel and selling stuff at a loss only to notice that no one else came back afterwards- Is this hitting on some of those disgusting corporations too? Yeah, figures. *giggles* But yeah, Kinme Cleaning is gaining reputation online thanks to this one person, but that is, not surprisingly, taking a toll on her usual orders which come from the elderly who barely even knew what Facebook, excuse me, Facenote is (haha), and then there's Kyushou. Which yeah, to be fair, even I wouldn't bother her if she gets this busy. She is a one-woman show after all, 2k+ followers is not EVEN NEARLY enough at this time and age. *laughs* Thank goodness she hasn't forgotten, but uh, maybe tone down on the orders with a new notice explaining that they can only take on queue or something, yes? Oh, don't forget to put your name online so we can make sure we ONLY service the most popular celebrities first. *dabs* All in all haha, this is an interesting way to talk about digital transformation, which is disappointing because there is TOTALLY NO ECCHI and that's with what looks like a pervert as a salesman to the store? Yeah, how did he manage to keep it up for this long- *laughs* Alright me, this isn't that type of series nor will it become one, though I have my doubts after seeing the salesman AGAIN in the outro. We shall see, the summer's still long. *giggles*

[Yeah sure whatever so NAIRO-CHAN SPECIAL!!! If you put this with the other kids then I'll take her antics tbh]

P.S. "I believe I've heard that you can, but I don't know how to use the internet." BOOMER ALERT!!! *laughs* It's okay please don't learn doom scrolling and AI- "You really don't know how to use the internet?" Alright Nairo-chan now you're just being a brat. *giggles*

P.P.S. "On top of that, you're blessed with a fine personality and the look to match!" I mean, he's not wrong, too bad we can't capitalize on that. *giggles* "But if she leverages her assets even more, she'll really shine!" Alright cops, just arrest this man already. *laughs*

[My Top 3 images that'll make of a great profile picture for Kinme Cleaning!!! Please, I want to put the image in the hot springs but that'll get them banned. *giggles*]

To be fair, middle school is probably more fun. Not elementary school though, I was just getting bullied a week into school. *laughs* In this new episode where friends are friends and don't think too deep into that lol I'm talking about you Tani-kun (#Seihantai07) because let Taira do it for you, that freak loves to do that. *giggles* Looks like we are still stuck with the Miyu lore haha and I tell you I don't have enough images to make the joke, but I will try nonetheless, just like how Suzuki will to embrace whatever this ex in middle school has to say about his screwed up life. *dabs* Miyu in high school, middle school sucks. *laughs* I meant her, like a fashionable pink-haired Suzuki Miyu is cuter. Infinitely. *giggles* In general, Yamada's route to not loving Nishi or vice versa comes in three phases, as clearly seen by the people around her life. Firstly, Honda-san. I gotta say, read it back again introverted me, for you need to be reminded about how you don't have to overthink things, and just be yourself, which brings us to Yamada who also said the same thing. Intelligently, I also like Honda mathematically explaining to her friend, but whatever that is getting Nishi's heart beating which for me is talking to anyone besides family lmao go figure, so Nishi you can chill a bit... until we have to talk about Suzuki who was the last person to mention this episode. *giggles* Like, surprisingly, she figured it out. So she knew that Yamada was basically talking about liking Nishi and I would argue not romantically because Yamada lmao look back at his exes to find out why we don't need that yeti commentator to appear every time haha, and that Nishi was running away from Yamada instead of Tani-kun at the hallway the next day just because of shame. Link two and two together, and yes, Nishi, I'm sure you have fallen in love with Yamada. *laughs* Wait, no. *giggles* I'm sure Suzuki has figured out that Yamada had a fancy to Nishi and wants to hang out with her more, which was also why Suzuki made use of the slew of toys Watanabe somehow bought (lol wtf) (you bought the badminton set too?) and started playing IN school so that she can wait for Tani and Nishi to end their library duties, SO to let Nishi go play with Yamada?? Someone give me a brainstorming chart, I can't handle all of this, Suzuki might be too smart for me to understand. *laughs* All in all... we aren't quite at Taira yet that poor dude will never get laid just like me- But we did get some good progress (lol) on Yamada's side though!! It's okay, Nishi, we got like, 5 more episodes to figure out what that feeling us. Spoiler alert, you're going to fall in love with everyone just like I did- No, wait. *laughs* Or not, I sometimes wonder if I'm too smart like Honda-san and then immediately sink into thought like Taira. Yeah, let's say that, someone make a personality quiz based on all these characters and test me out. *giggles* This is interesting so far but sadly we didn't get the jealousy out of Suzuki lmao and I wonder when haha it's gotta happen, but meanwhile, maybe Watanabe and Satou lore, anyone? Personally Satou, I just want to be with Watanabe. *dabs*

P.S. "We were students testing into high school, but we had no after school activities, leaving us with such a sense of freedom!" And that's why none of you guys are in a decent high school. *laughs* Just joking, that's not what all life is about anyways. *wink*

P.S. "Basically, in the case that your heart is pounding because of the situation, the question of whether your heart would pound if it was from someone other than Yamada... who doesn't exist? That's a worry that you created out of nothing and you can create those indefinitely, right? If you're going to be bothered by something, better reality than what-ifs." *silence* Wow, Honda-san, that's deep. "Regardless of gender, I basically vaguely dislike anyone I don't know." ALRIGHT haha based though?? (Also I can imagine what she looks like as an adult now and uh... you future seems bleak LMAO)

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

nano.RIPE just because, but I think they also nailed it as the sequel to the other title song in their album last year, so good on them, they know what's up.

Whoever doesn't know what's up is likely Kana-chan, because DAMN did I not care about the B-side and I guess we are not kicking off Klassic Note Reviews this year just yet, fingers crossed. Sambomaster I literally just forgot but it isn't a big thing anyways with one song released previously, but the newer songs are alright though short so I decided to give them regulars a chance before they fade into irrelevance considering how long ago I've given them songs tbh. *shrugs*

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

Not much news this week, but Sambomaster dear guys, you CANNOT trigger me with a "Solanin" remake just because instead of your bassist, all of you guys are in a comic video. *laughs*

Anyways, I think the most interesting one to talk about was Nan-chan's self introduction video slash origin story, and I think I can feel what she experienced back then even though I got it totally wrong, believing that she was forced under composer Mito-sensei to debut with that title song back in 2017, and it was more of the sensei approached her (and staff) to write something emotional, which is super rare for a debut song, if you haven't noticed among voice actresses. And the least interesting might be Ushio Reira which I'll listen again next week. *giggles*

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

So yeah, quite a few releases to end the month OH BOY we are already at the end of the month time flies in the new year again, and don't ask if I care about Akarin's new single. *laughs* The answer is no for now, and until I get to listen to yanaginagi on the weekend because unfortunately this album cum soundtrack is released on Saturday, I shall see if Ushio Reira can hold up after giving us great Anime theme songs to please.

EP with 10 songs, by the way. *laughs*

To be fair, more than concerned about the mental health for Marinka-chan, I think I'm more concerned about how MaiMai managed to appear in a livestream 2 days after her Valentine's Day event, and THEN said yesterday she couldn't attend the IDOLY PRIDE live this weekend because she's unwell. *shrugs* She must have overworked herself, huh. Yeah, she needs to keep some of the cuteness to herself, it's like immunity. *giggles* I rather make jokes than talk about gratitude but I will at least thank all the artists who liked my posts on Twitter/X and/or Bluesky, much appreciated I feel like the long wait was worth it. Definitely not worth clearing in 3 days though; There was a lot to finish considering I effectively only have like, 2 days to do it. *ugh* See you guys then, until next time I'll figure out a way to NOT push literal porno into a feed reader haha we have that actually I mean a blog feed, and spend the rest of next week at work fixing issues with this week's posts. *wink* I need a better life haha

P.S. Oh yeah before I go, let's check in on the total number of likes I got from the 19 artists I featured for winter Comiket this time around under three posts on Twitter/X... And it's 8 artists who showed some love back AND THERE'S 6 FROM OTHER PEOPLE??!! (lol) Alright, sure man, I'll take it! *thumbs up*

Should I just tell iren-sensei I bought more books to support them as a lie, I mean, flex? *laughs*
