Looks like we’re going to have to wait yet one more week before the Lakan storyline gets some real clarity. But as always with Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, there are no coincidences. Lakan is certainly involved in this week’s events, though as usual it’s as an orchestrator more than a participant. And what the episode seems …
Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu (The Dangers in My Heart) Season 2 – 10

Veteran shoujo manga creator Ken Saito’s Tales of the Tendo Family (Tendou-ke Monogatari) premiered in 2014 and told its story through 14 volumes. Although the first book’s illustration doesn’t set new standards for shoujo art, its …
