• Anime:
  
  1. My Love Story - Epi 19

     - Takeo's cool mother :)
     - I'm a bit worried about her because she puts everyone before her!
  2. Snow White with Red Hair - Epi 7
     - watched on Funimation
     - What a lovely episode. Zen really looks up to his brother.
     - Obi is always on higher place!
     - Prince Raj is improving, still immature, though.
     - Sakaki is Mitsuhide's counterpart :)
     - eta that I look forward to Monday because of this anime's new episode
  3. Castle Town Dandelion - Epi 7
     - watching on Funimation
     - Akane is sick and home with 2 sisters. Father is overprotecting.
     - Hikari's rival.
  4. Aoharu x Machinegun - Epi 7
     - watching on Crunchyroll
     - The first match started.
  5. Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! - Epi 4-12 - The end
     - watching on Crunchyroll
     - This is great, especially the last 2 episodes. I didn't see that coming.
     - It's kind of like Miracle Train. My favorite character is En-chan. He pointed out exactly the problem :) Kin-chan sulked for almost 2 years? maybe the problem started in 1st year of highschool
     - The characters are so cute in chibi forms.
     - Friendship.
     - This will have a 2nd season. I look forward to it.
  6. Charlotte - Epi 1-7
     - watching on Crunchyroll
     - Interesting.
     - Kids with special abilities. I wonder who gets invited to join the special school and whom are left alone like the captain of the archery team.
     - My heart break a little at the beginning of epi 7. Grief! But ANN's reviewer commented that the character has too much potential so she may be hidden somewhere by someone and will come back.
• Chapter Book:
  
  1. Relisten Far from the madding crowd by Thomas Hardy
     - Borrowed from bpl
     - Read by Nicholas Guy Smith
     - I read this book a few years ago and watched the movie adaptation for PBS then. I didn't like Troy very much then. I like Troy better this time because of his real feelings for Fanny.
     - Boldwood seemed to be crazier this time around.
     - Oak is as steady as expected.
• Manga:
  
  1. Wolf girl and Black Prince 7 by Ayuko Hatta - In French
     - this volume doesn't have any memorable moments.
     - Sata is tutoring Rena to be nice to Erika and her family. Of course, Rena has a crush on Sata! The refreshing part is because Rena and Erika are cousins, there's no back-stabbing and they are frankly discussing or rather, Rena told Erika that she's going for Sata! Also, Erika being Erika, is very insecure. I miss San and Sata's friend, forgot his name.
  2. Spell of Desire 4 by Tomu Ohmi
     - borrowed from ILL
     - The witch training continues, trials and tricks.
  3. The Heroic Legend of Arslan Chapters 26 story by Yoshiki Tanaka, adapted by Hiromu Arakawa
     - CrunchyRoll
     - New character introduced.
     - Our hero and his group are chased!
