@kims I was 13 when the mall nearest me opened. It was too far to walk, so we had to get rides, but that is where we all hung out.

Today on Okazu – Watashi no Oshi ha Akuyaku Reijou., Volume 8 (私の推しは悪役令嬢。)

Yu’s arc comes to an epic climax that launches all the main characters into a whole new story. Poignant in about 4 different ways, this is a compelling volume of manga covering trans representation, friendship, allyship, political intrigue and illustrated with stellar art.

Today on Okazu – Sound Euphonium Season 3 Finale

Beautifully animated, well-written tale of friendships and intimacy built through shared effort, with outstanding musical performance helps this season almost, but not quite, hit the gold.

Today on Okazu - Train To The End of The World, Season Finale

In a story that was ostensibly about the many ways humans can lose their humanity, this story unerringly gave us a clear path to remembering what makes us human, in a gleefully surreal way.
