First Impressions: My Next Life as Villainess Season 2 anime + Please Classmate, The Sweet Blood, Love Alice or Not and Young and Beautiful dramas Eps 1-3

Okay, I find myself not finding anything new to talk about My Next Life as a Villainess and I was thinking that maybe First impression is probably not needed anymore for sequels. But I remembered that I still did one for Lascivious Lady season 2. Plus I have pending First Impressions from four reverse harem dramas. So in true Reverse Harem Garden fashion, we're going to do this in one go again. Coincidentally, all four dramas have third guys who have either not yet appeared or their love-interest status is still dubious. 

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Roads Lead to Doom X Season 2 anime- 12 episodes / added under Summer Reverse Harem 2021

The story continues with the start of their second year. New characters are introduced. From what I've been seeing from the grapevine, there will be more members who will join the already full boat of Katarina's admirers. But it's not yet clear in the first three episodes.

The first episode is basically a recap of all the characters and what happened in season one. But by episode two the gang is back again with its trademark fun that it got me laughing so hard. I am loving all the moves they are all trying to do for Katarina. To the point, they are talking about it in front of her and she's still as dense as ever.  I love the opening and the ending credits. I feel so happy seeing the whole crew. I didn't know how much I miss them until I saw them. The only tiny bit that put me off is blaming it on dark magic without any evidence. Available on iQiyi and WeTV. Also, check out First Impression and Review of Season 1 


Please Classmate cdrama- 24 episodes cdrama based on novel "The Second Group of Three Years in Morinaga High School"/ added under Spring Reverse Harem 2021

The students from the academics and sports do not meet eye to eye and to makes things worse, the separation of the two will be dissolved. We meet the 'class monitor' from the academics Yuan Cai Xi. She's the forever second-best student after Ning Ze Yu. She's also always at odds with the sports ringleader, Li He. As of episode three, the third guy has not appeared yet but he's all over the opening and ending credits so I'm feeling positive of its reverse harem-ness. And I'm guessing he's an idol?

I don't have a favorite among all the four dramas, but this one is the most tolerable to watch. But there's a problematic use of the word retarded though on the first episode.  The first three episodes were spent on nonstop back and forth pranking between the two groups. We also see the main guy starting to like the FMC and the second lead guy having a secret crush on the girl. I like that the second lead is not going on easy with her just because he likes her. I'm really looking forward to the third guy. The main girl is also the lead on Love Crossed drama but I didn't bother to make a first impression since it looks like only one guy is interested in her. Available on WeTV. 


The Sweet Blood- 15 episodes kdrama / based on manhwa/webtoon The Sweet Girl/ Blood Type Love/ added under Spring Reverse Harem 2021

Son Yeon Seo is a 118-year old vampire pretending to be a high school student. She meets the blood of the greatest man...or boy....her classmate Song Meo Ru. It also caught the attention of another vampire, her fiancé Yoon Chi Woo. The third guy (I think?) appeared on the third episode but nothing's really definite yet. The comments do not look favorable for the drama but I'm gonna watch it still for that super hot vampire and besides it's short with 10-minute runtime for each episode. Available on WeTV. The webtoon is also available on INKR under the title, Blood Type Love.


Love Alice or Not 12 episodes tdrama/ added under Winter Reverse Harem 2021

Li Si is 28-years old and has had no boyfriend since birth. She receives a magical magnifying glass where she can see the meter of a guy from douche-ness to perfection. 

My only basis for reverse harem is the blurb: The elusive White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Dodo, and the Dormouse – all shape up to be possible candidates...but which, if any, of them will win this modern-day Alice’s heart? The four candidates are much more evident compared to the other dramas. But the third guy is still questionable and the fourth one is her female roommate who I'm rooting for BTW. Aside from the four, Li Si has also dated/met other three guys which all turned out to be a bust. 

But having an Alice in Wonderland theme will not save it. I can't stand the acting, the story, and the direction. The heroine acts like a baby and it feels like you're watching a cross between a school project and a b-movie. Sorry, not sorry. I do love the fashion and as I've mentioned her roomie/White Rabbit. I felt bad I won't be seeing more of her. Available on Viki.


Young and Beautiful  42 episodes cdrama / added under Spring Reverse Harem 2021 

Liu Wen Jeng is a country girl who moved to the city. She meets the professor and his group of friends. The opening credit shows how she's going to be successful and stylish someday. The prologue also showed of who she will end up with. It's a very romantic scene that got me thinking I want that scene to happen to me IRL. But the pacing of the story is so slow and as of third episode, she has just started dating a different guy. The third guy who was also shown in the credit hints she'll date him in the far future. But I don't want to stay around to watch this as it's so wrought out filled with weird situations and storytelling. And it's going to be forty-two episodes long! I also can't stand her uncle and aunt! They are like being wishy-washy if they are good or evil. Dropping! Available on WeTV.

+++++++++++++++

So we got girls from My Next Life as a Villainess (I only found out about bisexual harem just recently, I’ll discuss it more on the review proper) and Love Alice or Not and a gender-fluid vampire in The Sweet Blood. Okay, this blog is still about reverse harem but I don't mind shaking 'em up and I don't make the rules here. And as they say, all fair's in love and war.

First Impression: Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3

Vampire Dormitory anime Ep. 1-3  The vampire Ruka saves Mito who's all alone in the world. Now Ruka can't stand girls and he's oblivious to the fact this his new thrall is actually a girl.  The animation is giving we have a budget well because it's Nakayoshi's 70th-anniversary project. I have only read just the first volume of the mang a and it's pretty much the same as far as I can remember with a few inserts from the coven. But what I do clearly remember is that the manga is more risque with the suggestive art. So now, I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not! (lol) Hence, the anime version will be here on the main blog and not on Patreon.  It also has cute motifs that one would expect from Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara. With the cafe, the heart necklace, the strawberries, and the dessert-like brown and red school uniforms. The bloodsucking, ah yes an integral part of all vampire stories in shojosei and whatnot, is reminiscent of the naughtiness of

In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher.  I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 2

Monster and Parent Vol. 2   manga story and art by: Ichi Sayo Saika is adjusting to her new life with her family, friends, and godling. But the threat of godeaters looms and an incident causes her godling, Squeak, to be unhappy with her. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  Check out the first volume review .   This volume focuses on Saika's relationships and we gradually see the brothers' character development. The two older brothers Kazuomi and Izumi are still my favorites but I'm leaning toward the oldest. He just cracks me up! But I'm also concerned with where the path of the youngest brother, Aki is going.  I like the premise of Monster and Parent but I still need to be blown away with the story. I'm hoping it happens in the succeeding volumes. The godeaters deal is still vague and they are wishy-washy in handling it but it was addressed near the end. I want to see more of the other godlings and their interaction with each other or with the
