* RESPONSIBLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS *
Skip Comments around 23:00 for the reaction!
We're already at the penultimate episode and not only do things ramp up in the melodrama, but we have a HUGE revelation with Takopi and our time line -- this was a great episode that has a lot of controversial points and is leaving us wondering where the series is going to conclude! Let's...chat about this one!

*FREEING HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Oczy is facing Nowak, to buy Badeni time to escape, but will both of them be successful in their endeavors? And if not...then what?! Why do we fight for a desire that seems out of reach and denied to us...what is that desire? Is it worth our lives to gain? Oczy is having to ask himself those very questions...but even if he finds the answer...what then? What an episode!

**FLEETING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
AGAIN, after SEVEN seasons, we are finally getting answers in this series and each new answer or reveal is so surprising but works so perfectly to build on the character work we've had so far.
If you didn't have a dry eye after this Reiko-focused episode? I don't blame you one bit. This was SUCH a good episode!

Hey all!
I had for three years running a Husbando and Waifu bracket that was on the channel -- I am considering either bringing it back or trying again with the Husbando/Waifu Awards, but with some adjustments.

OPTION A: A Husbando and Waifu Bracket (SuperBowl/March Madness Style)
*TOP THREE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
We're not QUITE ready for the next "round," as Mizi is missing and we need instead a hype for the "Top 3" remaining and a backstory episode to just crank up the angst between Mizi and Sua!
We also get some behind the scenes comics and interviews with Sua and Ivan that show how our dark-haired characters are quite different in their approach to their traumatic upbringing.

Okay, so that "rule of 3" when determining if you're into a show or not? THIS series nailed that moment! This episode completely hooked me to the show and the characters. Are we FINALLY getting some legit romance onto this channel and not just subtext?!
These adorkable pair of couples - apparently official now - are just so good and bringing to light a lot of amazingly real romantic couples' goals...even amid searching Hirotaka's room for ...

So....things got really grim last episode there at the end, didn't it? No fun at all. So, what does this episode give us?
Only a very driven, very upset, and very "mad" Okarin - who is vowing to do whatever it takes to save Mayuri...the question is...is that a good thing? *nervous laughter intensifies*

We're nearly rounding out the content of season 1 with this volume and it's been so good to go back and re-examine the set up for season 2 with the brother Kechizu, Eso, and of course, hints at Choso!
Akutami's art is great as always! I hope you all enjoy this festive "treat" before we dive into season 2's manga content before the start of the year!

Sakura is off to his first day at Furin High School, to meet the "gang of vigilante justice" he wants to rise to the top of -- but there's a few colorful characters in his way from meeting the top brass. Y'all know I love a character-driven story, and we are getting it in SPADES already!

Y'all will have to excuse me ranting this week because as Azuma is struggling between helping his crush and the guilt of association, the layers of his trauma are revealed and his "TRUE" savior is as well!
The questions are: Is that savior too late? Has Shizuka turned heel? Are there ANY realistically compassionate adults in this world? And what is Takopi going to do about all this?! These are valid questions, no?

The clock runs out as Nowak is onto Oczy and Bardeni's research and the two men must make crucial decisions on faith and research...if they're to save the evidence of Heliocentrism's existence to release to the public!

How is it that seven seasons in, this show finds ways to outdo itself?! This is one of my favorite episode sets of the series, as Natsume finds himself alongside not only Natori but Matoba as well.
Past, present, and some hints of the future collide in this two-part reaction and discussion - I hope you're ready to gush about these two episodes with me!

It's insane - INSANE - to believe that a year and a half later, we're caught up with Natsume's Book of Friends! Since this was a "retro" and long series, we're continuing the tradition!
These series are LONG - and so, whichever series wins this poll - Romania will be watching a short (12-13 episode) series in between each "season" of the series that wins!
1st NOTE: Those 12-episode series will be chosen via "The Wheel of Fate" in between seasons! ^^ They will be seri...

Narumi and Hirotaka are supposedly "dating" now, but what does that look like? We dive into more character work with our crew, as we see how the four interact and how their dynamics are clashing and also cohesive! Plus, what better activity for all hanging out together than visiting the local manga store?!

Did Romania dive off the deep end in the discussion for this one? Did this episode give the most red flags of foreshadowing of any episode in the show so far? Was it a good idea to stick with Cherry Dr. Pepper and not opt for the chaos of the Berry flavor?!
The answer is "YES" to all of the following and we're at the midway point of the season, so....yeah, that sounds about right. Let's dive into the madness!

*ADORKABLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
We're starting a new series and this romcom has more than one twist and subversion right off the bat! As our protagonist, Narumi, is not what she seems in more ways than one and her only match may be her new colleague, Hirotaka...but not in the ways one may think!
Add that with a colorful cast of coworkers so far and this is going to be an INTERESTING short series, to say the least!
