SYNOPSIS: Finding a kindred soul is an amazing thing, especially when it’s a complete stranger. However, when Mahiru Kouzuki meets Kano, a former idol turned indie artist, they’re astonished to realize that they already share a connection, as a street mural of jellyfish, from which Kano draws constant inspiration, was painted by Mahiru years earlier, before she abandoned her dream of becoming an artist. Inspired, Kano convinces Mahiru to return to art and collaborate on a joint project, one that will combine not just their own shared skills, but also those of two more rather “different” and oddly connected young women in JELLYFISH CAN’T SWIM AT NIGHT.

Bonding over their mutual insomnia, they share the hiding place, then start to sneak out and explore the night together.

The self-described lone wolf fancies he’s one bad day away from a meltdown, and this wannabe troubled teen daydreams of ways to disrupt class and shatter his peers’ peaceful school lives… but even this bad egg feels his heart skip a beat around Anna Yamada, his gorgeous classmate who’s as goofy as Kyotaro is gloomy! Turns out Anna and Kyotaro are two oddball peas in a pod, and neither of them are who they appear to be at first glance. As facades fade and their true selves emerge, will Kyotaro and Anna defy their expectations of each other — and of themselves?

So, when an army of evil Oni starts rampaging through the feudal countryside, is it any surprise that Momoko finds herself recruited by the Celestial Goddesses sent to stop them? Well, it is for Momoko, but while her thinking’s not quite as peachy-keen as her martial skills, the latter should hopefully be enough to save Japan in MOMOKYUN SWORD!

The book made of some kind of extinct tree?

A bit pricey for the episode count and when other companies are offering similar things for around $50 to $60.

Probably going to peace out this month. While I liked Jellyfish, not enough that I’ll ever watch it again. Already have the regular Edition of of Dangers Everything else just feel kind of meh about.

I might pick up the Dangers Steelbook later when the Price drops a bit, but feel the same way about it as I did the Reincarnated as a Sword Steelbook, If it had been first (Like Oshi no Ko was) I’d consider it, but now that I already have it, the enthusiasm isn’t there.
