Japanese Horror Film Violence Voyager Is Really Out There: A Reflection

Yuri Fans Can Love Guys Too: My Favorite Male Anime Characters

I noticed something about my blog recently. I'm always talking about girls. Whether it's my animated waifus, female manga characters, or real-life idols, I'm always like girls... gurls... GIRLS.
