NEW Anime Series Spring 2015

There are many new anime series coming out in Spring 2015, but the one I'm looking forward to most is called "Ore Monogatari" or "My Love Story!!" created by Kazune Kawahara (story) and Aruko (art).
Originally it was a romantic comedy manga and is now getting an anime adaptation. To read more click here.


When I first heard the news I was extremely excited as it was a very funny, light-hearted and very different from the usual mangas.
If you haven't read the manga I suggest you do, you won't regret it!

The anime is set to release April 8 So get ready everybody!
