Hmm. That’s two “serious” episodes in a row. Serious by Witch Watch standards, anyway. That’ll teach me to call it a gag manga, I suppose. Though as I said last week if it isn’t, it’s a romcom if anything. Last time it was all about Moi and Nico, and this time Keigo and Nemu (with …
Summer Comiket 106 Cosplays
A new summer edition of the Comiket just passed. This time it is the number 106 and here is a small compilation of the different cosplays of the event. Enjoy! @k_purarine
Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun (Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun) 2 – 19
