Rinne no Lagrange – The Flower Declaration of Your Heart Rinne no Lagrange, as a series, has it’s fair share of cliches and stereotypical characters. The cliches don’t always detract from the overall experience, but they’re noticeable enough to hurt the overall direction of this series. Rinne no Lagrange also tried out a rather interesting [...]
