Synopsis

For weeks, Atsushi Nakajima's orphanage has been plagued by a mystical tiger that only he seems to be aware of. Suspected to be behind the strange incidents, the 18-year-old is abruptly kicked out of the orphanage and left hungry, homeless, and wandering through the city.

While starving on a riverbank, Atsushi saves a rather eccentric man named Osamu Dazai from drowning. Whimsical suicide enthusiast and supernatural detective, Dazai has been investigating the same tiger that has been terrorizing the boy. Together with Dazai's partner Doppo Kunikida, they solve the mystery, but its resolution leaves Atsushi in a tight spot. As various odd events take place, Atsushi is coerced into joining their firm of supernatural investigators, taking on unusual cases the police cannot handle, alongside his numerous enigmatic co-workers.

My review!!!

 The Anime can be watched here...

So first thing I want to say is that this is in a lot of languages so don't be discouraged if you don't see English right away. They have it in English, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, French, and Portuguese. So just look through the list and you will find it there.


I was surprised to see so many languages when I looked though. I have to admit it was nice to think they had that many. It says to me that this is a very popular anime!

That made me happier to be reviewing it!

When I watched the opening for the first time I had to admit that there seemed to be a few secrets to come!

This added to the impression I first got and gave me the first hint to why it was popular... It really didn't disappoint me either! First off they are ALL strange in their own way... and the main character's story is kinda tragic... At least it is in the first 5 episodes... I can't wait to find out if it gets better! Then there seems to be a history between some of the mafia guys and the detectives... I hope that gets told to us all soon cause trying to guess it is driving me crazy!


They even threw me for a loop with the guy who can't ride the train... There is a secret about him you won't wanna miss!! Oh and my son says he reminds him of an autistic savant! I have to say I think so too but you will have to make your own call!

And just what is the tie between the three pictured on the left? It's crazy but it's hinted in the opening too! Lagit one is a mafia one is a detective and the one in the middle is a mystery who is currently a detective! I wanna know!!!

Now let's see.... I'd say it's time to let you know the ranking at least!

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Watch" rating I give this...
.

10

There are so many thing that need to be answered still but there are two seasons to answer them in... The art is amazing, the story seems like it's one that catches and holds you for eternity! I couldn't ask for more in an anime!

With that being said... This fish is still on the hook and the only way off is to finish the anime... Catch ya later, I'm going to watch more!!!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have a mysteriously fun day!!!

Synopsis

Natsuo Fujii is in love with his teacher, Hina. Attempting to forget his feelings towards her, Natsuo goes to a mixer with his classmates where he meets an odd girl named Rui Tachibana. In a strange turn of events, Rui asks Natsuo to sneak out with her and do her a favor. To his surprise, their destination is Rui's house—and her request is for him to have sex with her. There's no love behind the act; she just wants to learn from the experience. Thinking that it might help him forget about Hina, Natsuo hesitantly agrees.

After this unusual encounter Natsuo now faces a new problem. With his father remarrying, he ends up with a new pair of stepsisters; unfortunately, he knows these two girls all too well. He soon finds out his new siblings are none other than Hina and Rui! Now living with both the teacher he loves and the girl with whom he had his "first time," Natsuo finds himself in an unexpected love triangle as he climbs ever closer towards adulthood.

My review!!!

 The Manga can be read here...

*** There is an issue if you try to use Crunchyroll... You can read the first chapter but then it skips to around chapter 160 and you have to be a premium member to be able to read those... I just figured since I found it I'd share it!

If you want to support the Mangaka then here are a few places you can purchase the manga from...

Amazon: Domestic Girlfriend
MyAnimeList: Domestic Girlfriend

I think that supporting this manga is a great idea because the art is amazing and the story is so relatable for a lot of people. How many people in the world try so hard to give up on someone by going to someone else?? A world where such things as that someone else being related to your crush you are trying to forget is not something that is impossible... Actually I am 100% sure it has happened to a lot of people! I know I'm one of them so yeah...

The fact that an entire manga is made around what happens after that fateful encounter and the fact it has the twist in the first 5 chapters has really captivated me and made me want to know more. Using both sites listed above I plan on reading all 200+ chapter as soon as I can!

Speaking of reading so many chapters... First I want you to read the rating!


On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Read" rating I give this...

That's right... This manga is worthy of the elusive 10! No matter how hard it is to find (I did most of the finding for you) I think it is worthy of praise... I plan on doing a digital purchase of all the volumes because I like it so much! To see what the big deal is I'm afraid you will have to give in and read the chapters for yourself or buy your own copy but again it is worth it!

Well I'm gonna stop here since I really don't want this review to sound like an advertisement or like I'm sponsored since I'm not... I just like it!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have a  day!!!

Synopsis

One day after school, Asahi Kuromine stumbles upon the truth that Youko Shiragami, the girl he has a crush on, is actually a vampire. According to her father's rules, Youko must now quit school in order to keep her family safe. However, Asahi does not want her to go and promises that he will keep her true nature secret. Unfortunately, this turns out to be easier said than done, as Asahi is a man who is easy to read and is unable to keep any secrets to himself.

And this is the only the beginning of his troubles—more supernatural beings enter his life, and he is forced to protect all of their identities or face the consequences. Jitsu wa Watashi wa follows Asahi as he deals with his new friends and the unique challenges they bring, struggles to keep his mouth shut, and desperately tries to win Youko's heart in the process.


My review!!!

 The Anime can be watched here...

I didn't know what to think when I started watching this one... If it wasn't for the fact that I had to review this one I probably would have still ended up watching it... Mainly because the name is interesting. I mean... How many times do you find an anime with a name that is such an open ended sentence???

Turns out it was a pretty good anime too. I ended up watching the whole thing before I realized it... And now I am writing this after watching the whole thing while trying to figure out how to do this without giving away anything that happened after the fifth episode. NOT EASY!!!

Kinda.

I never really give stuff away... But anyhow... This one was interesting... It's an odd school life - love story type of anime. I love how there is a secret to be kept and the person to keep it can't keep secrets to save his life though. There aren't many plot twist I haven't seen before but this was actually new to me. The whole anime revolves around that one twist and shows all the situations this poor boy ends up in as he tries despretly to keep a secret for the girl he loves!

But in the end it isn't just her that has a secret for our young man to keep! He ends up finding out secrets to other students that also would be terrible if they got out so he has no choice but to do his best not to spill the beans!

Speaking of Spilling beans.. It's time to spill the beans...The rating for this one..

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Watch" rating I give this...
.
.

8

I basically gave it an eight because I still had questions and there was no talk of another season... I hate when anime end like that so that gives it a major point deduction from the overall score!!! And now it's time to go!!!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have a Secretly fun day!!!

My review!!!

 The Manga can be read here...

This manga only has three chapters so I had to evaluate it on a sort of sliding scale. I think I did it justice though! Let me know what you think at the end of the review because I'd love to hear your opinions!

So as you could see from the two descriptions it is going to have Demons.... And where there are Demons there are usually two things.... Fights and Angels!!! I can say this follows that trend but I Don't think that the angel follows normal angel rules... Actually I know she doesn't!

Because of this I don't know if she is lying or if she is just odd. It could be either one since we don't get the chance to really get to know her yet. But that key business is seriously bad for the person who is born with the key!

Like deadly bad! They really need to figure things out!

Speaking of figuring out.. Let me show you the rating I figured out for this one..

On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being a "Perfect-Must-Read" rating I give this...

8

So even though I had so few chapters to make a judgment on I decided to give it an 8 because I really got hooked! I mean if it can make me want to watch for more chapters when it has only got three out so far I would say it is going to be one of the ones that is crazy good in the end! I'm sure it will have it's points where you just really don't want to read it because it has pissed you off or something like that but if you can make it past those times then it's a hit!!

And on that note I am going to hit the road! I hope you liked the review! Did I make you want to check it out? Was there enough hints at why it was good or did it feel like there was something lacking... Please let me know so I can get better at giving you reviews you would want to read!

As always... Thanx for reading my review!
Hope you have a crazy fun day!!!
