Okay so Sakayanagi used Hashimoto and Kamuro to troll Ayanokoji, and Ayanokoji allowed it and saved Ichinose in order to troll Kushida. All the while, Kushida is blissfully unaware that she is still the court jester. Check out last week’s Classroom of the Elite S3 Ep 4 review. Classroom of the Elite Season 3 Episode 5 Review Maxim of the Week: “Fortune favors the bold.” Virgil, “Aeneid” Ichinose’s Criminal Past Okay call me crazy here, but I feel like Sakayanagi overplayed her hand regarding Ichinose’s past.

I’m so glad that Itsuomi and Yuki’s relationship is doing well because wow, is Shin and Emma’s relationship a complete disaster. Read our A Sign of Affection Episode 7 Review. A Sign of Affection Episode 8 Review I’m almost afraid to see what’s going to happen between Shin and Emma…it’s kind of a lost cause at this point. As much as I loved seeing the boys gossip, I really do hope Shin finds the courage to confess to Emma Emma is so delusional over believing Itsuomi is still her high school ‘Knight in shining armor’ and Shin has spent all of these years silently resenting Itsuomi and lying to ..read more

Wow, Itsuomi is finally back from his sabbatical and we got development from even Oushi of all people in the meantime. Provided…Oushi did kind of make the situation between him and Yuki cringe in record timing. Read our A Sign of Affection Episode 6 Review. A Sign of Affection Episode 7 Review Does absence make the heart grow stronger? It certainly seems that way between Itsuomi and Yuki! I don’t know if this was on purpose or not, but I found it funny in an ironic way that Emma was still texting Itsuomi after the apartment incident and waiting for a response. After leaving Emma on read for an ..read more

Man…Emma might as well pack it up and travel abroad for a while. Itsuomi said that he doesn’t see himself breaking up with Yuki anytime soon…and I 100% believe him. Read our A Sign of Affection Episode 5 Review. A Sign of Affection Episode 6 Review Not only that mind you, Itsuomi told Yuki that Emma sharing his (empty) apartment for the night will “never happen again” which for any guys who might be reading my post – is absolutely 100% the right answer, haha. Nip the problem in the bud before it even has the potential to ruin the relationship. Itsuomi respects Yuki and realizes that she is a v ..read more

Ancient Chinese divination practices were deeply ingrained in traditional Chinese culture, offering ways to predict the future and gain insight from the cosmos. Divination Methods in Ancient Chinese Culture Oracle bone divination, where cracks in heated bones were interpreted, is one of the oldest methods. The I Ching (or Yijing), a book of changes, was consulted for guidance – its hexagrams providing symbolic answers to life’s questions.

2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac! Today let’s look at the significance of the blue and gold dragon during imperial Qing Dynasty rule in China. The Blue and Gold Dragon of the Imperial Qing Dynasty In both Asian cultures and my own American Indigenous culture, we revere the dragon as a symbol of strength and power.

I love how the show hyped up Kabru and his party as if they had main character energy for the entire first half of the episode, only for Laios’ party to come across them slumped, and surrounded by ghosts and cursed gold in the dungeon. Read our Delicious in Dungeon Episode 4 Review. Delicious in Dungeon Episode 5 Review Well, it seems like the dungeon really is changing. It wasn’t a total fluke when Laios a few episodes earlier thought the living armor statues were acting funny. Now, we apparently have more adventurers going missing (or turned into zombies via possession by ghosts) and as Sens ..read more

I know she doesn’t know Yuki is deaf, but Emma is an entire clown for trying to flex staying the night at Itsuomi’s empty apartment in front of Yuki…while Itsuomi is trying to run away from her. Like, where are your proprieties, girl? Read our A Sign of Affection Episode 4 Review. A Sign of Affection Episode 5 Review Yuki’s little laugh was everything I can’t get over how romantic this show is, or just how much I’ve missed shoujo anime.
