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.

Anime Review: 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy anime-12 episodes- based on a light novel Rishe Irmgard Weitzner is now on her 7th life after always being killed in one way or another by Prince Arnold Hein. But on the 7th time loop, her enemy has taken an interest in her. This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog, mini-impressions, and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights. 7th Time Loop is entertaining and exciting. It makes you think of the possibilities and the interconnections. Her past six lives were summarized without being long-winded but just enough to pique our curiosity. The critical timing of each action or decision will lead to different outcomes or probable "romance routes". Or so I thought. No reverse harem romance but there's a bishonen for each life. Think Amnesia. And this is by far, the fastest turn of events from a "love at first sight". I've been avoiding saying this is my

Manga Review: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe. However, the guys seem to have bugs and are either raising or missing events on their own. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by Netgalley. Check out the first volume review . 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?

Levels of Reverse Harem

The video above is Levels of Reverse Harem version 2 (also posted here ) Reverse Harem titles were very limited when I first started the blog eleven years ago. I was flexible with many titles where it's only one or two guys interested in the female protagonist and other gray areas. But we are now at a point where I can be strict with labeling reverse harem. Let's start with the classification of reverse harem-ness. This is for my sake too if in case I run off course again. 1. Five Flowers - This is literally reverse harem. The heroine has a harem of her own in her inner chamber. And we only have one example for this, manga and drama, Ooku. UPDATE: Please check STAGES OF REVERSE HAREM for more examples.

Light Novel Review: I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death!

I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death~( Akuyaku Alice ni Tensei Shita node, Koi mo Shigoto mo Houki Shimasu!) Written by Chii Kurusu Art by: Minato Yaguchi Translated by: Emma Schumacker While carrying out her secret executioner duties Alice bumps her head and realized she is reincarnated into her favorite otome game which won the Deadliest Game of the Year award. Together with the bad boy butler, Jack; sinful man, Leeds; the Tweedle twins and walking death flag, Earl Knightley. Disclaimer: A digital review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. She knows the ins and outs of the story but the routes are not moving forward just like it goes in the game. I felt lost at first too with the story and was wandering aimlessly with Alice. And when she decided her purpose, I was not convinced. It is fast-paced it's just that the premise was different in how the story played out. But those who are patient are rewarded. There is a twist whic

Drama Review: I Have Three Boyfriends

I Have Three Boyfriends kdrama- 10 episodes The story starts with Ra Hee going on a date after another with her three boyfriends. She's frantically trying not to get caught. The drama will unravel how she got herself into this dilemma. This is the first reverse harem I've seen about cheating female main character. Certainly, this is bound to happen in reverse harem. BTW, My favorite boyfriend is the domineering director. It was not believable at first but it got me hooked. The story is milking the coincidences to the hilt. The ending is unexpected and here all along I was under the impression that it's going to be open-ended. Sorry, to keep this review short as it's a short drama with 15 minutes runtime per episode. This is the last of my backlog reviews from a couple of years ago. And what are the odds it would fit perfectly in the Stages of Reverse Harem . It is meant to be. Love Reverse Harem Garden?

Anime Review: Kamisama Hajimemashita OVA and Kako-Hen

Kamisama Hajimemashita OVA It consists of two 15-minute-ish episodes. The first episode is based on the manga while the second one is an original story. In the first episode, Tomoe is keeping a secret from Nanami, while in the second episode Tomoe and Nanami go on a trip. It's just appetizers so I recommend watching this first before the main course which is Kako Hen. Kamisama Hajimemashita Kako Hen- ( Kamisama Kiss Past Arc) It consists of five OVAs that were bundled on different volumes. Tomo is afflicted with a curse and the only way to save him is for Nanami to travel back in time.
