Short life update mid-2023

Haven't written in this blog for almost two years and I'm not sure I can maintain it from now on. Over the pandemic, I've added (re-discovered) some interests and a few changes in my work also changed how I spend my time. I still watch jdramas/jmovies and anime, but not as much as I used…

30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii (Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!)

I've been meaning to write a proper review of this drama, because I really love how this was so well-written and paced. Especially since it's shorter than the usual jdrama (this aired late at night on TV Tokyo), which is normal for the timeslot it was in. I plan to write one post per episode…
