2 down, 1 to go. For prize figures, they're not too shabby. Kana's skin looks a little "oily" in person, but Ruby came out great! Can't wait to get my hands on Mem-Cho as well. #oshinoko #hoshinoruby #arimakana #banpresto

I should rewatch Maebashi Witches

Forgot to tell the world about picking up Magilumiere vol. 11 last week. I finished watching the anime adaptation earlier today as well! Underwhelming show, but fantastic manga. Literally my fave ongoing series. Oh -- Kaya-chan isn't Scary, too. I read it already. It was mid. #manga #magilumiere

Well, Lort came out for real yesterday. I've played like 3 hours so far; it's a fun game to play with friends. This game has a lot of potential.

Miku thinks u hungry

Today's reads: Tune In to The Midnight Heart vol. 5 and Love & Lies vol. 2. Mayonaka is still good. Shit's funny! Episode 3 today! Also good! Shinobu Uzuki still best girl! I read L&L vol. 1 last week and forgot to document it. I'm invested. The hooks are sunk into me. #manga #mayonakahearttune

Today's read: Dededede 11 & 12 DaDaDaDamn! I want to reread it again. I'm now watching the anime — 4 episodes in; great adaptation so far. I really fricked with this one, ngl. #manga

Last few days are a blur. Here's this week's haul from a few days ago.. Idol x Idol Story gets better and better as it goes. Going to read the last 2 Dededede tomorrow. And then prob reread the whole series. #manga

Greetings from the warmest place on earth

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Tune In To The Midnight Heart. I liked 'em. I think it's a good adaptation of a great manga. Uzuki is cuter in the books, tho. You know i'm right. Also, Suisei! 'nuff said. #mayonakahearttune

Yesterday's/Today's reads: To Love Ru? Hooked. Vol. 3-4 so friggin expensive tho -.- & why does Seven Seas hate reprinting books? They hate me? They hate my money? Dededede continues to prove itself. Fantastic series. Will get the last 2 soon. Tea Witch was far better than I anticipated. #manga

Happy Birthday, Pekora. Soon enough, you'll be givin' old Flopsy a run for his money. #hololive #pekora #usadapekora

I just uploaded a new figure review: S.H. Figuarts Sakuragi Kana! Come read all about Magilumiere's star new hire, and send me into an anxious spiral as you see all the typos my tired eyes may have missed.

I go to the manga store after work every Thursday; one of my rituals. I will share my nabs starting this week. This week's haul! Haven't read SandLand in like 20 years. I'm excited to revisit it. Dededede volumes are nearing completion. I'm really enjoying this series. It's one of Asano's best.

Today's read (2): Witch Love Potion by Kamada. Manga version of Eiko Mutsuhana's LN series of the same name. This was good! I love me a pathetic MC. I ordered the 2nd volume today.

Today's read (1): Sweet Poolside by Shuzo Oshimi I've read "Inside Mari" (pretty great) and I own the first few vols of "Welcome Back, Alice" (yet to read) but this one was..odd? As expected from Oshimi, it's sensual and erotic; dealing heavily with gender play. And body hair. It's worth reading.

Today's read: Flying Witch #1 Cute and fluffy. Big on the slice of life, little on the witch aspect. I will read more of this series if I find the next book on sale (as I did with this volume; $3 USD!). I like the cat.

Today's read: Fate kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA Look, I don't know a whole lot about Fate (watched S/N & Zero many, many years ago) but jaysus, this was fantastic. A hilarious & satirical love letter to the magical girl genre. Editor's extra pages and notes are great, too. I highly recommend it! 🪄

As I'm taking down all of the Christmas decorations today, I realize I've shared no photos of 2025's Christmas Hatsune Miku display. So here: 2025's Christmas Hatsune Miku display. Hopefully I can add another 1 or 2 by next winter.

Today's read: I Want to Eat Your Pancreas I knew nothing about this other than "it's sad." That was an apt warning. I had to stop reading during the 2nd to last chapter and wait to get home to finish this book, lest I start crying at work. Quite good!! 1st manga of the year.

I wonder if Cover corp. would ever give the Hololive girls aged models. Let's say, for example: Pekora keeps going and hits her 15, 20, 25 year anniversaries... will they allow her to age? Can she become a pekomama herself? Mature models would be interesting and there must be a market for this.

Picked up a Steam Deck last month. PS3 emulation is a go! The Idolm@ster: One For All, (in English!), plays very well. What a great lil device. The device name is "Pekostation." :3

It's now 2026 and my new year's resolution is to be more active on social media, as well as update my website more often. Speaking of, check out my list of the top 5 manga of 2025! www.pairofduckshotel.com/more/blog/20...

Finally went back and finished that #holoindie Sora game. It's really cute. Pretty clunky but worth playing to hear the Soda-chan noises and play around in the sandbox area. 8/10 #hololive #tokinosora #starsoraightfantasy

This week's manga. Idol x Idol Story 3 & Girl Crush 3 in the same week?! Bonkers ! Two of my favorite series rn. And Magilumiere! Of which I'm nearly caught up on, and is fan-frickin-tastic if you're a magical girl enjoyer. These are all good series. I just have impeccable taste, obvs

I make a new lil blog post

everyday, I see a piece of Rosuuri art and am reminded that she is so gifted and talented and good at what she does. May positive thoughts help her live a happy and successful life. Rosu so goated fr

(most of) My current manga collection as of October 2025, with a few out on loan to friends and a (near) complete collection of Junji Ito books on a different piece of furniture. #manga #oshinoko #madokamagica #sailormoon #goodnightpunpun

I'm a sucker for good passion projects, and my friend Tim has created this free and interactive online gaming publication. Please consider checking it out if you love video games and humor, especially if you're also a child of the 80's or 90's. New issue comes out soon (hopefully this week).

This week's manga pickups. Continuing to fill out Grand Blue and Magilumiere (my personal favorite series right now). And my copy of Wandering Witch 6 finally arrived! They ordered it just for me :')

The demo for Lort is now out btw. I played through it with some friends the other night. It's really fun! Reminds me of a cross between Risk of Rain 2, DnD, Chivalry, and an Oddworld game. I'll def pick it up once it's out for real.

A new video has been uploaded. Please enjoy my new lil OBS overlay that I worked so very hard on all day yesterday. This truly may be my favorite game of all time. Also, I absolutely love this Gamo2 K28. I can't imagine life without it. #musedash

Maebashi Witches is the best anime of 2025. I am obsessed with this show. My personality is now all about Maebashi Witches, sorry

This song lives rent free in my head #lovelive #lovelivesuperstar

Spent the weekend watching local idol groups. I had the time of my life. Big props to @vivariia.com & @sunnyshiro.bsky.social. I respect the heck out of what y'all are doing. And there were 2 different idol groups doing Aqours sets!! Living my best life NOW.

It's out!! It's so good!! Love you, Sora!! "Fallin' Rollin' Coaster" is a certified bop. I've listened to this album thrice today already and it's not even 8am. #hololive #tokinosora

figma shelves are a go. This is most of the figma I own currently, notable exception being Mori Calliope, who lives with her Mori Calliope friends in the Mori Calliope shrine on the opposite wall. #figma #hololive #madokamagica #persona5 #nekopara

I am the king of the mountain. I've made all the big heads. That was a fun time. #hololive #holoindie

New bunny girl shelf in the living room. Decorating the public spaces, classy style. #bunnygirl #hololive #pekora #usadapekora #figma #snailshell #animester #arknights

Just finished reading both volumes of the “HoloX MEETing!” manga. In short: they're good. Not in the “you should read it! It's so good!” kind of way, moreso a “they're good if you're already Hololive-pilled and susceptible to Cover Corp’s media” way.

I've decided to become Hoshimachi Suisei for Halloween (and a con next month). Shoes showed up today. They actually fit my moderately large feet. Huge success

Mail call! I underestimated just how large this thing is. The display box is 16 inches wide. I need to move some stuff around in the living room this weekend and get her properly displayed. Fu Xuan is banished to the bedroom bookcase until then lol #hsr #honkaistarrail #fuxuan #scalefigure

I wrote a short little review on the Apex's new Zenless Zone Zero Anby 1/7 scale figure.

Anby showed up the other day. The figure is quite nice. Very detailed, great paint, fun and original base. Need to make room in the glass case for her this weekend. #zzz #zenlesszonezero

Rai Rai Rai volume 1 dropped last week. This is a good, fun read. I can def see this manga being turned into a hit anime within the next few years. Check it out if you dig sci-fi, comedy, and a tiny bit of horror. Is good!!

I'm so cooked. Need to find locals to play against. I have 2 decks already built and ready to go. #hOCG #hololive

welp

I know fuck all about Umamusume but damn is this game kinda fun..
