Anime and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (September 4, 2026)

Wow... another light list of links this week. At least the Fall 2026 simulcast season starts in a few weeks, so first impression posts will temporarily expand the length of the lists for 2-3 weeks next month. I may need to see about expanding what I feature in here to help keep the list a little longer in the list posts that come out after the first impression posts wrap up.

Secrets of the Silent Witch (Vol. 2) di Matsuri Isora

Descrizione: Monica, the Silent Witch, has infiltrated Serendia Academy on a top-secret mission to protect the second prince. So far, she’s been appointed accountant of the student council and things are going great! …Or so she thought. With her former mentor arriving at the academy and her over-powered magic under the microscope, Monica is struggling to keep her identity hidden. As if social dances and tea parties weren’t terrifying enough. And now, with a new danger closing in on the prince, will Monica reach her breaking point?

A dispetto delle sue scarse capacità sociali e oltre le migliori aspettative del suo collega Louis Miller, Monica Everett è riuscita a raggiungere in poco tempo una posizione privilegiata per la sua missione segreta di proteggere il secondo principe, Felix Arc Ridill. Ma, come dice il celebre adagio, da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità e la nostra Monica, suo malgrado, si troverà al centro dell’attenzione.

In questa scuola per nobili, infatti, non possono che nascere gelosie e ostilità nei confronti dell’ultima arrivata che è riuscita in un battibaleno a raggiungere una tale posizione di prestigio e ad avvicinarsi così tanto a Felix. Questo secondo volume ci mostra i pericoli di una simile posizione per una persona come Monica, assolutamente disinteressata alle macchinazioni politiche e priva della malizia necessaria per navigare indenne un invito a prendere il tè in società.

Tuttavia, nonostante la sua ansia sociale, vediamo Monica lasciare sempre di più il suo guscio. Incoraggiata da un ambiente che, sebbene spaventoso ai suoi occhi, è abitato anche da persone gentili che apprezzano le sue capacità e cercano la sua amicizia, dandole modo di fare nuove esperienze che contribuiscono piano, piano ad accrescere la sua fiducia in se stessa.

Cominciamo anche ad avere degli indizi più consistenti del passato poco felice di Monica, passato che evidentemente ha contribuito a renderla la persona insicura e senza autostima di oggi. A questo avrà sicuramente contribuito anche la sua (presunta) neurodivergenza incompresa, incomprensione che continua a garantirle l’ostilità di molte persone, che non capiscono le sue reazioni, così distanti da quelle che si aspetterebbero. Sono molto curiosa di sapere come evolverà il suo personaggio, perché mi sembra che si sia ancora molto spazio di crescita.

#Review This Gyaru’s Got a Thing for...Vampire Hunters?!
#LightNovel by #WasanKurata
English Publication #JNovelClub
Genre #Yuri #UrbanFantasy

A nice light story about #Gyaru who meets a former #Vampire Hunter. Only the vampire threat isn't finished. If you want heavy, dark, serious, this isn't for you. Nor if you like your vampires sexy dreamboats.

Instead, it is good escapist lit. Easy reading. Realism light without being too cliché. As for the Yuri, it's in the heavy subtext mode.

An 8 on my rating scale. (0-9) Something I look forward to, but not the best of class.

Free to read until 10/15/25
Digital release 9/21

Confession of a Yandere (ヤンデレ彼女の 白状)

Love’s Paper Crane 愛の折り鶴

#RegardingSaekiSayaka #FanFiction (#BloomIntoYou)

#Wss366 #MastoPrompt

The four women sat in silence, pondering what had happened. Arisu and Touko seemed to have finally found a place of mutual acceptance, while Yuu and Saeki were trying to follow their logic. Even if the encounter between Arisu and Touko had been #unplanned, it had been an unforeseen boon.

Sarasa-san arrived with their order. “I hope it’s not cold,” she said, setting the tray down. “You were all having such an intense conversation, I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“You see those two girls over there?” Arisu nodded toward Haru and her date. “Take this,” she said, handing Sarasa-san some money. “Bring them a pastry and cover their bill. If they ask who it’s from, say, ‘Someone who wishes to make amends quietly.’” She thought for a moment and then #called after Sarasa. “Oh, and give the athletic one this.” Arisu handed her a paper crane. “Tell her it's for luck in love.”

“I can do that. Enjoy your tea. And if you’re planning on watching the fireworks, there’s a little shrine at the end of the mall. Not many people know about it, but the view’s amazing.”

Confession of a Yandere (ヤンデレ彼女の 白状)

Touko and Arisu

#RegardingSaekiSayaka #FanFiction (#BloomIntoYou)

#Wss366 #MastoPrompt

Touko thought the question over, giving it the consideration it and Arisu deserved. “What would I do if Yuu seemed interested in someone else?” she muttered.

“I’d talk to Yuu, and if she said she preferred the other person, I’d be content as long as she’s happy… But I’d feel awful.”

Arisu stared. “You would? You’d give her up without a fight?”

“…Yes. I wouldn’t fight it. I’ve spent too long taking advantage of Yuu’s feelings. Saeki’s too. But I don’t want to be that kind of person anymore. If Yuu… if she changed how she felt, then that would be her choice. I wouldn’t stand in the way.”

Yuu silently shook her head. No way was she leaving her girlfriend.

Touko’s voice quavered. “But I never said it would be fine; it would hurt—down to my core. I’d still love her. That wouldn’t change. But I’d carry my pain quietly, for her. Better to bury myself in my career than risk hurting her.”

Arisu looked down, bit one of her knuckles, ignored the hand Saeki offered her, and then responded. “I wish I had that kind of strength. But I don’t. I’d cry, #curse, beg, and follow Saeki around like a stalker—like before. I’d shoot dirty looks at the other girl too. If someone could intimidate her that easily, they wouldn’t deserve my Sayaka. And then... I’d go. If that’s what Saeki needed, I’d have to respect it. I’m not cold like you. I couldn’t pretend it didn’t tear me up.”

“No, you’re not,” Touko laughed with genuine amusement at how different they were. “You’re passionate in a way I never was. Saeki likes that. I don’t think Yuu would, so we’re both well matched.” She paused, then continued. “Maybe that’s why I turned Sayaka-san down. She needed that kind of fierce loyalty. Yuu doesn’t. If I’m tied up in rehearsals, she quietly does her own thing or comes to the rehearsal and reads a book she keeps in her #bag. I could never have given Sayaka what she needed.”

“Arisu?” Saeki asked, seeing her girlfriend’s look of deep concentration.

She responded slowly, thinking about each word as she said it. “So it wasn’t Saeki you rejected; it’s that you were unsuitable.”

If the conversation hadn’t been so serious, either Yuu or Saeki might have laughed at that turn of logic. But Touko answered with dead seriousness, “Something like that, yes.”

“Then you’re forgiven.” Arisu’s answer was just as serious.

“Friends now?” Touko asked.

“Friends.” Arisu nodded. “And I take back that crack about your being cold.”

“Thank you, that hurt.”

Yuu and Saeki exchanged looks, then shrugged. Touko and Arisu were in a world neither of them could fathom.
