Spoilers ahead!

finished:

• Futari Escape
• Page Miss Glory
• Sena Juo Hajime Kaichou is cute... didn't help with my undying hatred of GakuP though, even though I sUpPoSe he gets results. Anyways I did like Sena's producing ambitions.
• Oh! Men!
• Aikatsu S2 Honestly, there's a whole bunch I forgot since I started this basically six years ago! But it was a fun watch from where I started this year, seeing Mizuki try and make a two-person unit on par with the likes of her idols Masquerade with Mikuru. I really like Mikuru's singing voice btw. I like how they also circle back the the secondary characters and give them their own eps like Otome and Yurika. I will admit I felt that I wasn't really convinced with some things (such as the showdown between WM and 2Wings at the end with the latter winning) - I think it's just a personal taste thing (I don't really like the song 2Wings performed...) but oh well. Looking forward to Akari and her gen!
• Azumangah Daioh Remembered I read a couple chapters ages ago but didn't finish it so I blasted through it. Basically the whole cast is great fun and I am always a little fond of slice-of-life mundanity.
• Manhatten Cafe Umamusume Career
• Sena Juo NIA RIP Gekka who got side-lined so hard the commus didn't even acknowledge her at the end even though Sena entered NIA because of her challenge (if I remember properly, but RIP anyways, she didn't even appear, just a name mention).
• RHOP S10
• Umamusume Beginning of a New Era
• PS, the Astrals Read it mostly to get to know the Seven Luminary Knights (who have been around forever but we never really got to see them all (mostly) together!). Maybe my opinion would be a bit different if I had consistently kept up with the Main Story, but I only blasted through the official recaps and honestly so many important things happen that I kinda feel like everything lost meaning and I have no idea the gravity of anything anymore, this included. Also it was extremely easy to clock what would happen which made the story less interesting. Honestly at this point, I feel like an actual death is needed just to ground things because everything is so like. Ok so that can happen. Also I did laugh when we found out his name was Proculus Craig. Craig? Really?
• Banana Bread no Pudding Captivating. I really liked the oneshot of Pinkcoat I read as a prelude (don't really know if it was suppose to be that or not but where I read it included it so). Leaves a lot to think about.
• Millenium Actress Been on my watchlist for ages but I only got around to it now!
• Megatron Origin (#1-4) A reread. Probs because I am new but I kinda had trouble keeping track what what's going on and who's speaking...
• Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Demo OOoooo I am so excited. April 16th and I am yours.
• Madoka Higuchi S-SR Be Cause Finally got around to it lol. Honestly it's because I saw a meme¹ about MadoToru and I was like shit I gotta get onto reading this S-SR commu. Kinda reminded me of that early Alstroemeria event commu² where Chiyuki and Amana sort of compete with each other.
• Roberta Operator Record: Elegy sniffles...
• Mikoto Aketa W.I.N.G. ohh Mikoto.... I'm excited to read more SHHis stuff now the forces we're dealing with have been established (idol with real skill but seemingly no 'spark/charm' vs idol with little skill with 'spark/charm'). Also because they both want to be an idol so badly it hurts them. Also because of Luca in the mix and also Nami (both idols with that 'charm').³ Oh Oh Oh.
• Momvasion! A Grandcypher Visit! & the Captain's Little Long Day Can't lie I'm always a bit partial to a gimmicky, slice-of-life-like GBF event, but I also enjoyed it quite a bit lol (there might also be bias coming off from PS, the Astrals which was...). Wish Rosetta did a little more than hang around and observe. Also I can't believe they tied 2026 April Fool's with this event, they're really onto their goo goo babies.⁴

ongoing:

• Jimushiny
• Where Vernal Winds Will Never Blow
• Planescape Torment I started this in 2023 and I think I ran into a game-ruining bug or something so I gave up. But I will persist this time! I also want to aim to pick more ruder/aggressive dialogue since I feel like I don't tend to do that even though I have the option/ability to... Anyways I am looking forward to playing through this game!
• The Opium War: Drugs, Dreams, and the Making of China Putting this here to hold myself accountable (I started this in January...). I want to finish it in April!
• Sid Meier's Memoir! A Life in Computer Games Same as above really. This time I'm really gonna understand CIV.⁵
• DOS2 We're in Arx now! Honestly did Nameless Isle in like 3 days, I feel like my memory (of what to do from last time) was really good for that act. I followed someone's fun tip to get the Black Ring to decimate each other and it was kinda awesome, none of them bothered us and afterwards we managed to snag a couple high tier skill books. I also finally made a decision about who to romance (which was really the main reason behind why I restarted teehee). Arx seems scary so far lol. I also spoiled myself for like 10 different things trying to search up tips for battles online (my fault). I heard that the ending was kinda meh so I'm looking forward to seeing why/if I agree.
