Heroine Ranko Haruno's life is turned upside down when her mother remarries and she finds herself with a dangerous delinquent stepbrother, but perhaps she might be able to become friendly with him even if only to protect her mother's newfound happiness. Continue reading...

Welcome to the site! :)

I'm going to cheat a little bit since I have the problem where AoTS is often influenced by the fact I'm already very familiar with the source material, so I'm going to pick two. One that I already liked from reading the manga / LN and one I've experienced for the first time through the anime...

Oh my bad, I didn't realise there were two either. I doubt they intended to go for vol 5 of the second one, they probably just automatically made listings thinking there would be more. Kodansha do that as well at times.

Volume 5 didn't even come out until March 2024 in Japan, so there was nothing for them to release at that point. They just made advance listings and then had to bin them off.

Pupposites Attract introduces us to two dogs and their loving owners who are complete opposites. We follow their daily lives as they spend time with their beloved pets and slowly begin to fall in love. Continue reading...

Captain Momo and her feline companion John float through space on a cargo ship that all but flies itself. Together they spend their time in a leisurely way but not completely detached from trouble such as running out of electricity to power the craft... Continue reading...

I think (though not certain) a lot of Lupin is actually reasonably self-contained, so you should be okay if you have an idea of who the characters are. I'm doing the Edinburgh weekend rather than Glasgow, but will certainly be trying to watch some of the 2018 Kitaro series in preparation even...

Cocoa Fujiwara's The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies currently has an anime adaptation airing, but how does the original manga compare? Continue reading...

As Rent-A-Girlfriend enters into a longer arc, we witness Kazuya dealing with problems from every avenue when all he really wants to do is convey his love to that special someone in his life. Continue reading...

I will say the other publishers have a lot more direct connections to those titles if you look at the magazines for where they came from (which I appreciate is nitty-gritty detail FYI!) you'll find they're usually Kodansha or Kadokawa-owned, which means Kodansha and YP have first refusal at the...

No worries! I think you make a good and valid point as well. To me it's definitely not just sales, it's layered. When we look at the market broadly it's still mostly made up of licenses that have anime coming or from a creator already established here. Of course that's not everything, but when...

We don't know if no one requested it, it's not like we're privy to that. In the same breath requests are not the only reason a series gets licensed, it could have some kind of cross-media release forthcoming (thinking anime or live-action dramas in other circumstances particularly BL), or it...

I don't think this got shared at the time here, so I'm sharing it now given its relevance to the conversation: https://x.com/frog_kun/status/1826389190826917913 When you take that into consideration it's easy to see why publishers are going for BL by the bucketload but not Yuri, you can't...

Happy to see this getting some kind of release, was certainly one of the films I've enjoyed the most the last couple years.

When a mandatory request arrives, the members of Hestia Familia must head for the deep floors of the dungeon. With a powerful party beside him, Bell isn't too worried - at least not until they encounter the strange monster that's stronger than anything should be down here... Continue reading...

Do you have a source for this? I can't see anything on the Crunchyroll website and I know the US date is in October, but never seen confirmation of the UK. There's no PR been sent out either afaik

What should be a joyful moment for Yuuki when she's confessed to by her childhood crush leaves her torn about how to respond. Has the moment passed for these two, is Yuuki actually falling for Iori instead, or is there something else going on? Continue reading...
