| 5:30pm | Ongoing Investigations: Case #195 | | | | I figured I might as well get this over with while Narutaki was on vacation so she did not have to revisit this unnecessarily unless she wanted to. Let us discuss the ending of Eureka Seven: AO (episodes 21-24). I suppose we could talk about the series as a whole at another date but I just want to... | | |

| 12:11am | Ongoing Investigations: Case #192 | | | | As I creep closer to the end of Kekkaishi, I’m comforted by Yellow Tanabe having another work out that I can jump into. Laughter in the End of the World (chs.1-2) is another great excuse for her to draw monsters. I’m already impressed that out lead (he has no name yet) is different from... | | |
| 4:30pm | Ongoing Investigations: Case #185 | | | | Although readers love number scores in turn reviewers can grow to hate them mostly because they lack any amount of nuance. It is far more important why you gave something a 7 out of 10 than the mere fact that you did. But with some reviews a number score would be utterly meaningless. What is appealing... | | |

| 12:54am | Ongoing Investigations: Case #177 | | | | As I was going to Kinokuniya to pick up my ultra vital max priority #1 ultraviolet volume of Fate/Zero for Gen Urobuchi to sign at Otakon. While I was there I decided to also look at their English manga section as well. I was really hoping they had a copy of Rohan at the Louvre but that sadly was not... | | |
| 1:43pm | Stand Aside, Book Smarts: The “Knowledgeable Girl” | | | | While reading the Drops of God recently. I took notice of the supporting character Miyabi, a sommeliere-hopeful who assists the hero Shizuku, bolstering his seemingly supernatural sense of taste (literally tasting things with his mouth) with a larger knowledge of the wine world. In this setting, Shizuku’s... | | |
| 4:30pm | The June Line-Up | | | | In a rare turn, Anime Expo is straddling the line between June and July so most of the announcements have ended up here! But I’m sure San Diego Comic-Con and Otakon will bring plenty of news for July as well. Still the licensing and streaming announcements this month are staggering. I’m... | | |
