Back from lunch early...

...and putting off the point at which I have to start figuring out where my CSS went so horribly, horribly wrong in my latest test design by hitting the AuthoShoujo generator. (I was dragged back today by a question on DA from someone wanting to know if s/he could use a title from the generator for their current project. Answer: of course!)



Crazy Crazy Velvet Street <- I see a series set on a run-down street full of student housing next to an arts college.

My Dear Nostalgic Childhood <- Slice-of-life nostalgia anime series. Each episode has the framing device of the narrator, an older resident in the city, musing over her childhood in rural Japan. She sees something or encounters a situation that brings old memories to life, and the flashback takes up most of the episode. It has an unusual narrative style in that the memories in the episodes are out of chronological order, with no explanation as to the changes witnessed unless you watch the whole series and piece together the events of her childhood.

Blue Moonlit Library is a two-volume school romance with a love quadrangle containing two members of the school library committee and two friends of same. To be honest, I was surprised that the author went with the opposite pairings than initially set up -- and relieved, as one of the apparent official couples were Wrong Together, despite their attraction. A tangled and sweet drama.

Fluffy Occult Secretary is the literal translation of the Thai edition of Rasetsu no Hana, licensed in English as Rasetsu. This baffles just about everyone, yes.

Everyone Loves Strawberry Kami is currently being serialized in Yuri Hime, with a handful of chapters out so far. Cute shoujo-ai, but despite the heroine trying to balance the demands of being a high school student and a miko at her grandfather's shrine, and warding off the affections of the titular kami who has taken a shining to her, there's not much story there yet.

True Yankii High School is a blatant ripoff of Dear School Gang Leader, and even less good. Skip like a swine flu ward.
