Red River
Lately I've been reading "Heaven is By the Red River", which I think just got shortened to "Red River" in the English translations. This is one of the first 2 manga I ever bought, back in high school before I was really into anime (the other one was Wish by CLAMP - both of them I bought because I thought it would be good Japanese practice and ( Read more... ) -
Clue
What was wrong with the old version of Clue that they have to update it like this? :(

Disgaea 3

Of course the chapters are mostly longer. The ending was not too bad as long as you make sure to watch through the entire ending credits and wait for an ( Read more... ) -
Cherries
I discovered this year that one of the trees in our backyard is a black cherry tree. The ads we saw on our house said there was one, but since I am not familiar with fruit trees and never noticed the cherries last year, I figured I misremembered the ad ( Read more... )
