Absolutely no problem! I hope things turn around for the better for you, too! If you ever wanna talk about it, I'd be happy to listen, but no pressure, you don't have to either! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you this time, I was actually out sick for the past few days 'cause of some ongoing health issues, oof. I'm feeling a little better now, though.

Ooh, I wanna check out those ones, too! They're on my to-watch list, lol. But oh, that's a good point, I've always been more of a fan of Seinen than of Shounen to begin with. I've looked at Mob Psycho and Jujutsu Kaisen myself, but they didn't really catch my eye. I think a manga/anime requires good character designs and art to capture my attention, and I feel like they were lacking in that area, lol. For real though, if there were some good new Shounen, it's not like I wouldn't be down for it. I am less interested in the concept as a whole now than I used to be, but if I got another one that hit me like Naruto or Bleach, I'd still like to read it. As long as it doesn't end poorly, of course, lol.

Yessss, omg, I am still so sad that they didn't end up together. T_T Their chemistry was great and it just made for a really interesting story. I agree the guy she ended up with wasn't a bad character or anything, and at least it was an obvious love interest from the start, but damn, that doesn't really make it any better, lol. She had to end up with the teacher, there was no other right option! Ugh, it still hurts... Lmao yep, hopefully you like it if you do check it out. The sequel is going okay so far, just curious to see how many more people die by the end of it, lmao.

Yes, absolutely! Lol yeah, I think it's a good thing when I can feel the way the characters are feeling nonetheless, shows the story and characters are well-written, believable, and relatable too! And that's 100% true, sometimes if I'm a little bit interested to see what happens, typically regarding one particular character or characters, but if the rest of the story or characters doesn't interest me, I'll just spoil what happens with those individual things I'm curious about. And that's a good point, too! As long as I know they wind up together in the end, it'll be a lot less frustrating seeing all of the other ship teases and moments in between, lol. I swear, sometimes those moments make me want to drop the series altogether and I just lose hope that my ship will ever sail, lol.

Yes, exactly! You make perfect points! I agree, I'm not as engaged in Shoujo from the guy's point of view. I guess I find that a lot of the fun in Shoujo is it being centered around the girl, what she's like, what her problems are, etc. Maybe it's just because I'm a girl so I often relate more to the girl characters, so if guys preferred Shoujo from the guy's perspective it wouldn't surprise me, because I find a lot of enjoyment out of relatability in a character, particularly the main character that the story is centered around!

Omg yes! I honestly can't think of a reverse-harem that relies so heavily on the -dere tropes. Like, they all have different personalities, but like, that's a good thing! Lol, the point is to have different personalities, it's just annoying when the whole of their personalities are based around a -dere type. Oooh, I'm gonna have to check that one out now, let me look! And yessss, Kiss Him Not Me did an amazing job! All of the characters were actually really unique, and you really couldn't fit them into a -dere type or many other stereotypes for that matter, they were all really interesting characters I hadn't seen before. And I agree 100%, I much prefer reverse-harems and feel like the anime world could benefit more from it opposed to regular harems, honestly. I think they just view normal harems as the easy way to go, since they can rely on the different -dere types and it's been done so many times before already.

Lol yeah, it's still been true for the most part. I actually overslept today and slept the majority of the time when I was sick, lmao, so I guess that counts for something. Ooh, I'm glad to hear your sleep has been better and you've been remembering your dreams more, too! And actually same for me, that's so weird, I've been remembering my dreams a lot more too. Hopefully it stays this way!
