Posted on:

Teaching in Korea 1: Starting out

Posted on:

Hello, everyone. So I travelled to South Korea not too long ago. I managed to settle in without any jet lag, so I’d like to give you a bit of an update so that you all know what’s going on.

It was 11 hours, but I’m an indoor hobbies person anyway…

Why I Don’t Follow Anime Archetypes

Posted on:

Hello everyone! As a follow up to the last post on the many different types of deres, I’d like to express why I have somewhat of a dislike for labeling characters based on their archetypes.

Luckily, Ayaka explained to Takamiya and us the situation.) and Witches are injured or lost. What a grim and confusing scenario. This the first part of the next arc and as I said before, Takamiya holds the key. There were some really neat fights between Kagari and the enemy…
