Categories: Tonari no Kaibutsu-kunTags: I'm hardcore, tonari no kaibutsu-kunBecause double posts aren’t hardcore enough. Sorry for the delay. I’ve been very busy with real life (ha what an excuse) and I finally had a good rest with the horror that is Saimoe 2012. Surprisingly, even though I have  a backlog of 5 … Continue reading →(Read more...)

It’s safe to say that Haru is one of the few male leads in a shojo series that needs so much personal development. Interesting that in shojo romance – i.e. one that’s target demographic is the fairer sex – we have male lead who’s emotionally stunted and lacks any common sense when it comes to … Continue reading »

Haru noticed, right? He noticed that Shizuku wasn’t being honest, didn’t he? I suppose that was the encouragement he needed. He was able to control himself in the end…that’s a start, right?

Oshima joins the gang; Shizuku cuts some ‘dead weight’ and Haru mucks about…again. Shizuku Stalemate   I don’t know exactly why, but this episode hit all the wrong notes for me. For the first half, the episode starts out okay by introducing us to the shy but endearing Oshima. By the end of the second [...]

I want to know if I’m the only one who was getting Haganai vibes from this episode. I haven’t noticed it until now but Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is a little bit like Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai – Hagani for all you North American readers – in a shojo package.  Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun hasn’t had as … Continue reading »

I’m starting to get used to this scenario…when Haru starts getting feelings for Shizuku, she chooses to return to how she was originally for the sake of her grades…or is it jealousy of the new girl? Nah…couldn’t be, right? Sigh…always gotta be complicated with people switching their emotions and stuff. I’m surprised, honestly, that Shizuku [...]
