Admit it: you’ve had times when you want something sold in Japan so badly that you don’t care how much it costs, only to find out that there’s no international shipping.

Thanksgiving dinner has been both prepared and eaten, the leftovers have been packed up; the cleaning and traveling are now complete and now you just feel like being lazy. However, there has been nothing but hype about Black Friday in the recent news (both in general and on this site), and if you feel game [...]
Considering how thanksgiving and black Friday are American holidays, it’ll be hard to find deals on manga and general Japanese stuff. Worst, the deals you find you can usually find else where! So what you really need to be looking for when shopping for black Friday are items that are made here in America. If you go [...]

That would be much more fascinating than boring ol’ regular school. It’s possibly more life-threatening, assuming this stuff was real, [...]
“A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and en-kindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.” -George Jean Nathan Love is a truly unique and fascinating emotion. Authors have written about its power, singers have written [...]
“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” –John Lennon “Growing up” is an essential and unavoidable aspect of every human being’s life. We often think maturity is measured in the same way age is measured; a numerical set of years. However, children can grow up surprisingly fast even at a young age when they are [...]
Hmph. This mystery is starting to bore me. Whether or not this show is any good at all is of no concern to me. Accessing my wellspring of knowledge, the fragments of Chaos all come together to form…an opinion on an anime series. That’s pretty anticlimactic.
