| 4:33pm | Shangri-la, Turning Point | | | | At the end of Shangri-la, episode 9, Kuniko discovered something harsh, something cruel. The burden of leadership isn’t the water on your back. The true burden of leadership is the price paid by those who put their faith in you. Tough lesson, Kuniko. How will you react? You’ve been pretty... |
| 8:29pm | Shana-chan Cafe Mode | | | | As I have for the past twenty-seven days, I took a seat today in Shana’s station and ordered a chocolate milk shake. Everyone else in the cafe glances over and gives me a look. Ice clinks in glasses. Flatware gently clangs. A dull thrum of people talking. The walls are reddish-brown. I pretend... |

| 2:46pm | Dark Canti | | | | The new design apes a Form Code insert. I definitely like a paper feel, instead of a web feel. One of the things I miss from paper to web is the full bleed, though there’s probably a good reason why people don’t run things right to the edge on the web. The content section of the front... |

| 9:58pm | Seena the Rookie | | | | Seena was too nervous to sit. She already had her sword drawn, feinting here and there at the dark. I told her to sheath it. It was likely that we’d be waiting long into the night and her arm was going to get tired. Any orcs that come wouldn’t be showing up for at least another hour, besides... |

| 5:22pm | Turning Kuniko in Akihabara | | | | Akihabara soothes the otaku heart. Can you feel it? The world in Shangri-la somehow becomes a little more real when we follow Kuniko to Akihabara — damn, otaku are annoying people. There, people go about their business and obsess over silly things, not existing solely to live in the shadow of... |

| 1:00pm | Mahjong No Go | | | | So far, I’m enjoying Saki, but I’m a sucker for tournament stories. Angelic Layer, Princess Nine, and Fighting Spirit have all been on my Top 10 list. What can I say, I like the bittersweet. I don’t know if Saki is on that level and I’m still neutral on the possibility —... |

| 6:41pm | Unity May | | | | It was such a great night, she had to call May, but May’s phone went straight to voice mail. She sat on her bed and had slid her tight jeans down to around her knees when she was prompted to speak. Her feet were cold and felt good trapped inside the still warm pant legs. She tilted back, lifted... |
| 3:05am | Dis Content | | | | Instead of making new content, I decided to rearrange old content. Spring inspires a change. The last two themes I had used paper texture and grunge style, so decided to go with no texture and minimal decoration. Load time should be a lot better, if my host server is running well. When I first saw... | | |
| 2:56pm | Shangri-la: In the Dark Ocean of Trees | | | | Episode two was boring and didn’t do much to advance the story or the characters. All we learned was jungles are bad places, people still play lotto, and this is one twisted loli: I’ll give it a few more episodes. Hopefully, the premise of Shangri-la can survive the production. HappySoda... |
| 2:52pm | Lucky Star, Moe for What? | | | | Having finished Lucky Star recently, I get that it relies a bit on moe to carry it, but moe for what? Lucky Star offers a lot of things to go moe on, cute girls for one, that’s pretty standard, otakuisms for another (are those not cute and inept too?). For me in particular, Lucky Star left me... | | |
