Love is Like a Cocktail

Love is Like a Cocktail, or Osake wa Fufu ni Natte kara in Japanese, is a short manga series with 11 volumes written and illustrated by Crystal na Yosuke. The first manga volume was announced 2015, so as you can guess, it is a finished series, but I've been dying to watch the anime as soon as I heard they made an anime adaption of the webmanga in 2017! Even though it is labelled as a Romance, I would call it more of a kind of Comedy-Slice of Life.

"Quiet but capable, Mizusawa Chisoto is a beautiful leader at work who has a secret at home that only her husband, Sora, knows about: She loves to drink alcohol, and when she does, she becomes extremely adorable! What bliss will Sora's cocktail bring tonight? "Yoidere", the drunken comedy cocktail about Japan's most lovey-dovey couple."

I must say that I love this anime! I was fine with it being short and every episodes only 3 minutes long; it has its own charm and there is no need to drag out things that way, which I like. I am not a drinker, yet I enjoyed this anime so much. Well, drinker or not, I think anyone would enjoy this anime, to be honest! Chi-chan is such a character (along with Sora), even though there's not much story involved at all. And what's even funnier... you get to learn about a new cocktail each episode! They display and explain the drink, how it is made and what ingredients to use. Very educational, haha.

My overall rating of the anime Love is Like a Cocktail: 8,5/10!

80's J-Pop: Miki Matsubara

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town . Miki quickly became familiar with jazz music, as her mother was a jazz singer. She started playing piano at an outstandingly young age of 3 and simply embraced music in general, not only jazz but also rock. She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...
