Play It Cool, Guys (Cool Doji Danshi)

Rating: 7/10 🌟⁣⁣

⁣⁣

๑ I adore this charming, heartwarming anime! The short 9-11 minute episodes leave me longing for more, but the cool yet awkward characters make each moment delightful.⁣

⁣

๑ Embracing new experiences and pursuing passions is a central theme, and the lovable characters make it an absolute joy.⁣

⁣

๑ Fingers crossed for a season 2 – highly recommended! 💙⁣

༻A bunch of cool guys who look like they got that unapproachable swag. But let's be real—that's not the true them.⁣

⁣

༻They're just a bunch of dorks who've got the act down pat. So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy watching a bunch of goofy guys try to look cool all day every day.⁣

Dispareo Trilogy - Serialsleeper (M.Apdian)⁣⁣

𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 3.5/5 ✮⁣

☙ Napagod ako basahin yung buong series. Haha Parang ako yung karakter sa libro e. Sa book 1 and 2, talagang mapapatanong ka e. Ano bang nangyayare? Tas magugulat ka sa ending at twist. Hindi mo talaga aasahan.⁣

⁣

☙ May mga nakakairitang characters. Tas andaming fillers. lol Favorite ko si Wacky saka si Shem. Hilarious and genius! Nakakatuwa din yung friendship nilang lahat e. Maraming katanungan talaga bago mo marating yung book 3. Tapos nag expect din ako talaga sa book 3 e. Haha⁣
⁣
☙ Brutal at mabigat yung plot at storyline. Kaya pakiramdam mo parang mapapagod ka habang binabasa mo siya. Ganda sana ng potential nung buong series e. Pwede nga syang gawing movie tbh. I think, ang best part dito is yung solid friendship nila. Hindi siya horror for me e na tipong matatakot ka talaga. Brutal oo. Tas may mga parts na mayayamot ka at matatawa. lol Pero...⁣
⁣
☙ Nadismaya ako sa katapusan. Oo happy ending, pero parang hindi nabigyan ng hustisya yung buong kahulugan ng story. Just like that?! Haha Pwede naman palang ganon yung gawin tapos pinahaba lang. hehe May mga parts ngang nabored na ako e. Basta okay for me ang book 1, yung book 2 ang best ending... Tas yung book 3, muntik na ako sumuko, akala ko di ko matatapos. 🥲⁣
⁣
☙ Nag enjoy naman ako sa kabuuan. I won't buy physical copies na from this author. I MIGHT read her books na lang sa wattpad. hehe ✌️😊⁣
⁣
☙ Marerekomenda ko ba siya? Pwede. Pero read at your own risk. Tas babaan mo rin ang expectations mo. 🙃⁣
⁣
☙ Thankful parin ako sa Dispareo trilogy, kasi nawala na book slump ko! ❣️ Yay!⁣

⌘ Storya ng isang siyudad na nagsimulang mawala ang lahat ng tao, sa hindi malamang kadahilanan. Lahat sila naghahanap ng kasagutan. Storyang puno ng misteryo at habulan. (charot) Story of friendship, lost and surviving.⁣

Super Cub ♡⁣⁣

Rating: 9/10 🌟⁣

⁣

❥ The experience transported me to a state of complete peace and utter joy. Wholesome and enjoyable! It's like Yurucamp but in a lonelier way.⁣

⁣

❥ A hidden gem. Underrated. I'm so happy that I watched it.⁣

⁣

❥ For others, it might be simple. But I learned a lot here. It's not just about friendship. It's being courageous despite tribulation. And being contented and thankful for what you have. IT'S A SIMPLE SLICE-OF-LIFE STORY. BUT I HOPE AND WISH I'M ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS. 🥺⁣

⁣

❥ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ❤️❤️❤️⁣

ღ Koguma, a reserved second-year high school student, has nothing—no parents, hobbies, friends, or goals. On her way home one afternoon, she visits a vehicle shop in hopes of acquiring a motor scooter. With only enough money to make ends meet, she is disheartened by the price tags and prepares to turn back. ⁣

⁣

ღ However, as she is about to leave, the shop's owner offers her a pre-owned Honda Super Cub for ten thousand yen. Believing that the motorcycle will help brighten her monotonous world, she accepts the deal.⁣

⁣

ღ As Koguma journeys through her town on small adventures with her Super Cub, she begins to build irreplaceable friendships and eagerly advances toward her new life.⁣

The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House 🧑‍🍳

"Real love isn't just a romantic feeling. You can fall in love with your art, not just a man. Nor does love for the art stop you from loving someone."

-Momoko-san to Momohana-chan

♡ A Masterpiece!

♡ I didn't expect this to be good as others say. Wow! It blew my mind. It captures Japanese culture at its finest. The characters are perfect! Artistry, acting, and development. How they portray it. Authenticity and diversity! It's lyrical and nostalgic. Now I need to go to Kyoto, Japan!

♡ Recently I finished a lot of anime, movies, and manga. But I don't have the energy to post a review. But I couldn't let this opportunity pass to let everyone know that you need to watch this at least once in your lifetime.

♡ It's not just about cooking. It has profound meaning. It's about friendship, family, loss, true love, sacrifice, and acceptance.

♡ This is a live-action adaptation of an anime. I recommend watching the anime first before this.

๑ Anime: Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House (Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san) ๑⁠

❥⁠ The anime version has a simple premise but has an interesting plot. It's slice-of-life, food, and enjoyable! I like the simplicity of the story. It's whimsical too. It didn't focus on friendship, there's insight about Maiko's life and how home-cooked meals can uplift anyone's spirit. The food aesthetic is on point. I love it! 

❥⁠ Both comforting and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

ღ Anime rating: 4/5

✿⁠ Plot: The show is based on the manga Kiyo in Kyoto by Aiko Koyama. The nine episodes follow the story of best friends Kiyo (Mori) and Sumire (Deguchi) as they move from their hometown in northern Aomori to Kyoto's Gion district to live in an all-female house of geiko and maiko with dreams of becoming geiko themselves.
