Yasuko to Kenji ep 3-9 (HampsapSukebe) A new post from Akiramike should never be passed up.

Momoko Tsugunaga’s 3rd Photobook (Hello!°C-ute) Well, that’s one sure way to bring me back into the fold…

Guess Who’s Japan’s #1 Ladies’ Man… Again. (fly to high) No surprise at all the Johnny’s idols dominating this list.
