Light Novel Review: Mia and The Forbidden Medicine Report Vol. 2

Mia and The Forbidden Medicine Report Vol. 2 by Fumi Yamamoto/ Illustaration by Nitaka/ Translation by Evie Lund  After having won last year's special award, Mia is more desperate than ever to find a cure for her mother. Her group is doing the best they can to help which consists of Felix, a handsome Law student until he opens his mouth...; Henrik, a naturally gifted but ice-cold Medicine student; and Matthias, the shy mage who can kick ass. But they are at a loss on how to proceed in their first step in making medicine. Disclaimer: a review copy was provided by the publisher. It started slow and I feel lost when they feel at a loss too but things turned interesting as we see progress. I appreciate the seamless recaps since it's been too long since I first read the first volume .  This is the first light novel I've read which also sparked my reading streak for light novels. ( Do Hot Gimmick S count?  ) It stands to reason that t his has a special place in my heart. My fe...

Anime Movie Review: Kimi dake ni Motetainda

Kimi dake ni Motetainda (I want to be well liked only by you/ I wanna be popular just for you) / added under Reverse Harem Anime 2019 Sakiko Horinomiya gathers attractive boys to join Motemen Koshien, a popularity contest for the most handsome team in Japan. But the thing is they all have problematic personalities. Tokio Furuta, chunibyo /delusional. Shigekazu Ashida, childish for his built. Kotaro Tojima, too cute to be taken seriously. Aki Sahashi, no interest to other people. Together with her butler Shun Gotoda, they will help them "how to be cool".  This is one of the reverse harem anime titles I've been waiting for the longest time and when I finally watched it, I was like is that it? It's rare for me to enjoy a reverse harem movie so I shouldn't have gotten my hopes too high. It felt like watching a 2-episode OVA that is too short to appreciate. But unlike OVA it didn't feel fast-paced at all. Maybe it would be better if it's a series to give you ti...

Rimi and Shusei are tasked to prepare food for the four consorts. Check out the Volume 1 review .

By the second volume, Emperor Shohi has officially entered the picture. Sadly, Hakurei fades into the background and  is also being paired with  another woman. But I am not losing hope even with the author mentioning it's going to be a love triangle in the afterword. Well, with  Jotetsu unless they get stuck together hiding for days...that's the only imaginary scenario that I can see him falling in love with her. But now thinking about it, she hadn't fed him yet! And with that, I came up with another excuse to continue reading this.   Every ti...
