Ahahah, Fujioka-kun showing off his Bancho credentials. While it had its funny parts, I think they dragged it a bit too long this week. I mean, it was just pretty much 17 minutes of Fujioka being super beta about his feelings towards Kana…. Next week looks like more of the same. Hopefully the episode will [...]

Another week means another serving on misunderstandings and stupidity courtesy of Minami-ke. With the winter over and summer on its way, the change in season turns thoughts towards such seasonal affairs such as swimming and swimsuits - who knew Chiaki wouldn't fit into Haruka's old swimsuit?  Can Haruka keep up with the latest fashions in swimwear? - as well as what to do over the summer

"The pool" is a staple part of pretty any anime series diet, especially when it comes to slice of life shows, so I can't pretend that I was exactly shocked to see an episode of Minami-ke Okaeri focusing entirely on swimming pool related shenanigans. If I'm honest, the whole thing started in a rather mundane fashion - It's a hot day, but Chiaki's class have to clean out the pool ready for use at

Mako-chan’s underwhelming return. Summary: Chiaki’s class has pool cleaning duty, but Chiaki refuses to help because she would not benefit from it. An enthusiastic Makoto still believes that he would make a spectacularly clean pool without Chiaki’s help, but she soon interrupts her friends by entering the pool with a running hose. This has Makoto, Yoshino, [...]
