“More than Words” First Impressions (Ep. 1 & 2)
Sometimes words aren’t enough to express the feelings inside us. Sometimes they aren’t sufficient to describe the desires we feel or the thoughts passing through our heads.

“Minato’s Laundromat” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
Growing up, no matter what generation a person is from, is full of joy, pain, success, and rejection. Regrets follow us like heavy weights pulling at our ankles, holding us back from the potential future we dream of stepping into.

“Fudanshi Bartender no Tashinami” Series Review (Ep.1 & 2)
I really do not know how to describe Fudanshi Bartender no Tashinami, because the way I spent the last hour howling on my couch would describe it as funny, but it does not seem to cover the entirety of what it was. The show is eye-wateringly-hilarious. Especially for the fudanshis and fujoshis out there. There wasn’t even one situation where I could not relate to the guy.

“I Only Want to Keep Looking at You” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)
The invisible boundary between adulthood and childhood feels like a sacred place. And, in truth, it is. It exists in that moment when we prefer things to stay the same while also wanting to shake things up a bit.
