Reverse Harem Garden

Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion Episodes 1-3 Hanasaki Rinko gets into her dream university but she is literally pushed into a different world. She is reborn into Raeliana McMillan, a supporting character inside a novel who will die soon. Now, how did she end up in the Duke's mansion? The way she forged her path with Duke Noah Wynknight piqued my interest. There's no romance yet which is fine. The chemistry between the two is still brewing. They are not enemies but they are not allies either...yet. There are a lot of chess pieces references so should we expect a lot of scheming and political machinations? And Raeliana looks like she knows how to handle her game. There are gun references too in the opening and we can see her handling one, which makes me wonder how this will play out in the story. As early as now, Raeliana is offering a different kind of isekai-ed character and I'm excited to see where this goes.  However, the third episode is dragging. And for...

Alice in Bishounen-Land by Yushi Kawata Art by Yukito  Alice Kagami and her friend Tatami get sucked into the dating simulation game Love Color School Stars and became producers. In order to return to the real world, she must turn her group, 3 Jours and 2 Nuits, into top idol group but the problem is she's totally clueless. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Alice members are a mishmash of different personalities: Hanazawa, a half-dog and half human; Julius Paliton III, a spirit; Azuki Tsubufusa, 41-year old teacher who looks like pre-school/midde school kid; Fortress Kyojima, uhmmm a 60-feet giant and Hyoya Sanimiya, he's so tiny you can barely see him on Alice's shoulder on the cover above. We can see all the guys' affinities for Alice are leveling up but there's an evident lead guy though nothing's that serious yet. (See more of  7 Types of Reverse Harem Endings ). And according to the rules, she might end up dating whoever's route ...

Now that A3! Spring and Summer have sealed its non-reverse harem deal, it's the perfect time to bring back my penchant for posting in threes for related reviews. We could say this is the second part of  Related Review: Female Managers and All-boy Idol Groups: Idolish 7, B-Project and Top Management . But of course A3 has a female director and all-boy actors while Ensemble Stars! has a producer instead of a manager. So maybe we can call it now 'female-xxx and all-boy xxx-raising'. It doesn't make sense but you get the idea, right? Anyway, they fall under one flower in Levels of Reverse Harem . They are usually joshimuke which is media targeted for the female and has no romance routes. In the anime, one or more bishonen may show interest towards the female managers/producer/director whatever however the girls are in supporting roles only. The main feature is really them boys. Top Management is an exception since it's a kdrama. I'm going to rev...

Kenka Bancho Otome: Girl Beats Boys- 12 episodes Hinako was convinced by her twin into swapping places with him in the all boy school, Shishiku Academy. And it's not just simple as that. It is a highschool full of delinquents and she has to fight her way all the way to the top.

Kamigami no Asobi Ludere Deorum- 12 episodes Yui Kasunagi is transported to a mysterious garden together with gods from different mythologies. There's the Greek Gods: Hades, Dionysius and Apollon, Japanese Gods: Takeru and Tsukito, Norse Gods: Loki, Balder and Thor and oh yeah an Egyptian teacher, Thoth. The gods are tasked to get closer to humanity through interaction with their human classmate, Yui. I loved the premise of teaming up different gods from different mythologies. I'm really into Greek and Roman mythologies back in college. I also loved the fact that my nickname, Iris, is a Greek goddess of the rainbow. But sadly the plot didn't offer much. It did succeeded though in providing eye candy-- handsome and scantily clad gods and colorful animation -- and funny school misadventures. I thought featuring one or two half-naked god/s were going to be the standard fare but it stopped after fourth or fifth episode. The anime also reminded mo of a lot of prev...

By ayreesa "Heart no Kuni no Alice~Wonderful Wonder World~" by Soumei Hoshino 1 volume-ongoing Alice becomes a player of a mysterious game in Wonderland. There she meets an assortment of shady characters. Now with the anime being delayed, it's a good thing that at least the first chapter of the manga was scanlated. This small bit of the manga makes my heart pound with excitement for the anime with the popular seiyus, very cute art and clothes and bad, bad beautiful boys.
