Self-proclaimed otaku and shut-in Sakura Kisaragi would prefer to spend her days alone in her room, playing her favorite yakuza-themed dating simulator. But when she saves the life of an old man who turns out to be the head of the Amou-gumi crime family, she inadvertently earns a spot in the yakuza's succession plans-moved by her courage, the old man declares that whoever among his three ambitious grandsons can win her hand in marriage will be the next boss. Now kind but ailing Shusuke, brash hothead Reo, and cool and calculating Ryusei are all vying to make her their boss wife-but will she be anything more to them than a means to an end? Meanwhile, not everyone in the Amou-gumi organization is happy to have her there... A high-stakes romcom from the author of A Springtime with Ninjas.

I've been covering this in the blog under the Japanese title, Gokutsama Days.

"Due to forthcoming changes in Kodansha’ simulpub distribution program, we are suspending simulpub updates until further notice. For now, the best way to keep up with your favorite series will be by following the collected volumes. We at Kodansha are deeply sorry to those of you who have kept up-to-date through the simulpub format, and while we can’t divulge any details at the moment, we have exciting announcements to make about simulpubs in the coming months."

Liar! Uncover the Truth (Doubt - Uncover the Lying Man) movie is now available on Viki but it looks like it is available in North America only.

Finding a lifelong partner isn’t easy and Kana Sakurai (Akane Hotta) feels as if she’s been looking for a very long time. Though she hasn’t reached the point of giving up, she has reached the point where she’s willing to think a little outside the box. This is why, when she receives an invitation to attend a matchmaking party, she heartily accepts. Not entirely convinced she’ll find true love at the party, Kana is at least willing to keep an open mind. Upon arrival, Kana finds the party to be far beyond anything she could have imagined. Approached by ten very different men, Kana is slightly overwhelmed by the attention. Even so, it doesn’t take her long to realize that something about this party isn’t quite right. Confirming her suspicions, a mysterious partygoer warns her that nine out of the ten men she has met tonight are hiding their true selves behind an elaborate lie. Determined to uncover the truth, Kana approaches each of the ten men in turn. Will her search for the truth lead her to find the one man who may hold the key to her heart? Based on the mobile game app of the same name, released in 2015 by Voltage Inc, “Liar! Uncover the Truth” is a 2019 Japanese mystery romance film directed by Jiro Nagae.

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

Anime Review: Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku: Kinetograph

Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku: Kinetograph - OVA - 2 episodes Haru works as a maid for the Miyanomori family. The head of the clan is a powerful man in Japan in the Taisho Era. He has six sons from different wives and he will name the heir of whoever makes him the happiest. At first, I didn't like the angular art and harsh palette. Even the music was weird. But I realized that I find it refreshing it after being used to fluffy and colorful reverse harems. The music has a nostalgic and retro vibe. I also like how they didn't try to squeeze in everything in just two episodes. It ends in a way that it will pique your interest to go buy and play the otome. Still, I wished it was a series instead of OVA. It was hard to choose my favorite bishie in just a short time but yet I find myself looking forward to the three brothers who are always hot-tempered. The anime also has also an unexpected good mix of seriousness and silly randomness. Overall, nothing fancy but not that b...

Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan

Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan- 12 episodes While searching for her missing father, Chizuri finds herself taken in by the Shinsengumis. It's based on a historical otome game. The setting is warring late Edo period and the characters are based on historical characters of Japan. Then throw in bishie samurais, supernatural elements and downplayed gender bender. I didn't want to get my hopes too high thinking it would be another NeoRomance clone. I was way off wrong! I don't even know where to start. It's like a noir for otome-turned-anime genre. Ok I'll start with the story. To be honest I'm not familiar with the historical material but they were able to pull off a credible historical story with a reverse harem going on minus the cheesiness. I like the fact that it wasn't trying too hard to sell the reverse harem factor. I thought the 12 episodes is going to be too short but the fast pacing was executed very well. The character designs, the animation and th...
