Thanks to globalization and enterprising groups of people, it's easier then ever to get all the Japanese music and anime you want! Japanese food; not so much. You can find authentic Japanese food if you know where to look, like at Maido!

Kayarath’s Adventures in Japanamation!
Admittedly, I'm the type of person who seeks out new and unusual things to explore. It's amazing what you can find simply by going to different places and paying attention to what's around you. You can just luck into stuff you had no idea existed. One such find that I unlurked was a grab bag of some older manga titles.

As an avid enjoyer of Receattear: An Item Shop's Tale, I was naturally intrigued by Carpe Fulgur's next project, Chantlise: A Tale Of Two Sisters. Naturally, I purchased, played, and am now reviewing it. Does it set a new record of I am just fishing up trash?

Kayarath’s Adventures in Tagging!
Believe it or not, I'm old enough to be someone's uncle. Part of being an uncle is buying presents for your niece. A few months earlier, she got a Tag pen so I decided to get a compatible book to go with it. As I looked through the selection of Tag books, I noticed something lacking.
