Hikaru in the Light! Manga Review
Even if you can see where Hikaru's plot is going five miles away, none feels hackneyed.
― At times, Hikaru in the Light felt like a season of American Idol to me.

Him, the Smile, & Bloom Game Review
Although Him, the Smile, & Bloom wouldn't be the first otome game I'd recommend, it's still a good time.
― Although it's not unheard of (Norn9, anyone?), Him, the Smile, & Bloom isn't an otome game where you're forced to choose between romantic interests.
