Why thank God for the apocalypse? Because it gives me something to write about that isn’t Aria. Not that I dislike writing about Aria, but it has a way of possessing me via dark, indefinable magics and forcing me to serve its needs. It’s an unforgiving master. And I haven’t even watched the second or [...]

The Use of Power in Love Relationships: A Study of The Courtship of Irie Naoki by Aihara Kotoko Supplemented by Dream Therapy and the Use of the DC Mini Machine by Dr. Chiba Atsuko

Why we love… teh almost-yuri
With a new season of Maria-Sama ga Miteru (alternately marimite and The Virgin Mary Watches Over Us), it’s on everyone’s minds again. I might have already entered the fracas once, but here we go again, this time not on the new season, or even the OP, but the show as a whole and why we love [...]
