Hakomari 4 - The Game of Indolence 2

HOW, no really, HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS EXIST. hakomari is by far one of the most ambitious, thrilling, and exciting works of fiction i’ve ever seen. i was repeatedly freaking out, crying, and getting hyped every other page

Hakomari 3 - The Game of Indolence ✅

EVEN THOUGH I WAS ALREADY HOOKED ON THIS STORY, I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO SOMEHOW GRIP ME EVEN MORE

a seemingly generic battle royale death game lead to some of the most thrilling drama, deception, scheming, and plotting i’ve ever seen

Hakomari 2 - The Week in the Mud

holy cow, i’m so incredibly invested in this story now. each premise seems like the most basic of fictitious concepts (time loops, body swapping) and yet it turns out to be a fascinating psychological study of someone in adolescence

so thank you to everyone involved during my read-through. it was a very special experience and i’m so glad to have read it. thank you tachibana sensei.

DAL - 9/10

tachibana has a firm grasp on what makes these kinds of dates and friendships so worthwhile.

and all of this is most excellently illustrated in shidou’s final date in the story.

Date-A-Live 🐧

when i watched the whole first season of this anime back in valentine’s day of this year, i never expected it to grow and evolve into the masterpiece i finished today.

the spirit legion and harem shidou amassed throughout really touched my heart

Tohka Good End 1 ✅

what an incredible story man. this last volume has really illustrated how much tachibana cares about these characters in full in one final encore with all our beloved main cast. i can’t believe how much i love each of them now

honorable mentions to:

ange for inspiring me to live with the truth in my heart

yotsuba for helping me enjoy everything

dante for illustrating my journey to redemption

aaron burr for inspiring me to start being more proactive as opposed to reactive with life as a whole

#DALspoilers

but this is seriously one of my favorite things ever, holy cow

Tohka World ✅

PEAK FICTION. I CANT BELIEVE HOW EMOTIONALLY INVESTED I WAS AND HOW HEARTBREAKING YET SATISFYING EVERY SINGLE PAYOFF WAS

tohka world proved to me that date a live could go so much further beyond its surface-level developments into something really special
