Comic Update: kimi wa mou mellow mellow
Original Post They’re talking about Umineko, just so’s ya know. Maria’s plight seems to have struck a chord in Rets, but he didn’t realize that her situation was meant to be tragic. You can’t blame the guy–he’s picking up all those little fragments of happiness that other people ignore....

Sora no Otoshimono: It’s raining moe kyara, Hallelujah

Become a Ruler of Time: Following in the footsteps of the only god I believe in, I will aspire to be a Ruler of Time. What does being a ruler of time entail, you ask? Well, it involves striking the perfect balance between school (or work, perhaps), all of...
