The Demon Girl Next Door Review

The Demon Girl Next Door is a slice-of-life comedy that offers plenty of laughs with a cute and colourful cast of characters that you can really have fun with, however, the fact that the series ends just as it really gets started will no doubt frustrate a lot of viewers.

Mysteria Friends Review

While being connected to the Rage of Bahamut mobile game presents a barrier to entry, and its very slow, methodical pace may bore some viewers, Mysteria Friends is a beautiful slice-of-life series with a surprisingly wholesome yet playful take on the yuri genre.
