Freshest News: Hana Kimi anime is confirmed

  The official site for Hana Kimi anime adaptation was launched today. Crunchyroll will be streaming the anime when it premieres. Hisaya Nakajo had also seen the drafts for the characters and scenarios before she passed away. The anime will be right around the 20th anniversary of the time the manga ended. No further information of airing date yet. Source: CR  Check out Hana Kimi drama reviews . (Kinda reverse harem. Falls under two flowers under Levels of Reverse Harem )  Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has transferred to a high school in Japan...but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she's going to an all-guys' high school...and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they're more than classmates...they're roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates--and the school nurse--must cope with a new transfer student who may make them ques

Freshest News: Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku (Promise of Wizard) anime key visual, PV and airdate and The Villainous Duke's Daughter's Special Method of Growing Rice manhwa on Tapas

  The event for the mobile game, Mahō Tsukai no Yakusoku - Promise of Wizard, revealed the anime's key visual and promotional video. The anime will premiere on January 2025. Source: ANN (Most likely not a reverse harem, game has no romance) The game is set in a world where wizards and regular people coexist. The player is a "sage" who develops wizards to counter a "great disaster" that befalls the world every year (and forms deep bonds with them). The Villainous Duke's Daughter's Special Method of Growing Rice was released yesterday, May 13, 2024, on Tapas. (Not a confirmed reverse harem, but look at the photo)  When you transmigrate into a novel as the villainess destined to die, there are different ways to survive: flirting with the male lead, learning to fight, or finding happiness elsewhere—but not Erica! She has decided to become a successful rice farmer just like in her past life! What follows is an epic (and rather surreal) quest to find the last

Anime Review: Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp anime - 12 episodes based on webnovel Elise is a spoiled princess who is executed and reincarnated in modern Earth. She turns into a new leaf and becomes a surgeon. Then she goes back in her time before the events that will lead her to her demise.  This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog, mini-impressions, and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights. The premise of Elise has two layers of twists to the reincarnation and time loop tropes. For the first episode alone among the three anime,  ( 7th Loop  and  Demon Prince of Momochi House ) goes to Elise. In a short period, we felt like we knew her already and felt her sincerity to help. She's relatable in her reincarnated era. It took me a while to reconcile that they are the same person. But of course, gradually, the Princess Elise version won me over. But being a prodigy does not cut it for me. It's highly suspicious that she can perform surgery all from text

Freshest News: What If cdrama currently streaming on WeTV and The World's Strongest Are Obsessed With Me on Tapas

  What If cdrama premiered last May 6 on WeTV. (Not a confirmed reverse harem but the comments on MDL says: "Wtf it's Love triangle or love square?? Please explain full theory??" And apparently, there are two timelines and WeTV is promoting this drama with these four character posters.) A normal girl Xia Guo is faced with a difficult dilemma where the two choices will lead her toward two utterly different lives. Would she choose to live a home-sweet-home life with her boyfriend in her hometown or seize the opportunity to forge a successful career in a metropolitan? Which way would make her life "a little less normal"? The World's Strongest Are Obsessed With Me was released on Tapas last May 7, 2024.  At 13, Dahlia Phesterose recalls her past life. She realizes she was born as the sister of the ultimate villain in a dating simulation game where the male leads, or "transcendents," all succumb to madness. Anticipating family ruin and personal peril f

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

Anime Review: The Demon Prince of Momochi House

The Demon Prince of Momochi House 12 episodes - based on manga Himari Momochi inherits a house but finds it inhabited by a young master, Nue and his two attendants: Yukari and Ise.  This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog and mini-impressions and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights.  The cohabitation and the setting is like Fruits Basket meets Kamisama Hajimemashita. But I spoke too soon in the First Impression when I thought Aoi's past was sad. The rest of the characters' backstories are sad, one after another. But it's a kind of sad that makes you want to protect them all. And it always leaves you with hope and living in the present and moving forward. It has a slice-of-life feel in the countryside albeit with supernatural twists at the end of the day. Among the three winter 2024 anime (with 7th Loop and Doctor Elise ), this is the one that I was most satisfied with the ending.  The anime versions did not do such beautiful characters justi
