Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku (2025)
Chidori High School and the neighboring Kikyou are two completely different worlds. The former is a public high school for boys, often boisterous delinquents from poorer families, while the latter is an elite academy for girls from wealthy homes, famous for its pristine image and strict rules. For years, a fierce rivalry combined with deep-seated resentment has persisted between the two schools.

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (2022-20**)
Gojou Wakana has been fascinated by the art of creating hina — traditional Japanese dolls — since he was a child. He inherited this passion from his grandfather, who taught him the craft. Unfortunately, it required total dedication, which is why he had no friends by the time he started high school. There are several girls in his class, and the beautiful Kitagawa Marin, around whom everyone else gathers, seems to lead the group. Wakana treated such people like visitors from another planet—at least until fate crossed their paths. One day, the sewing machine at his home broke down due to its age.

The Best Anime Fall 2025 Series That I Recommend
The long, hot days and lazy evenings are behind us - summer is slowly giving way to cooler mornings and ever-earlier dusk. A new season lies ahead, and that means another round of recommendations - Anime Fall 2025. The autumn season is usually associated with strong, atmospheric premieres that fit the mood perfectly. This time my list is a bit shorter than in summer - I plan to watch 14 series. Will all of them prove worth following to the end? Time will tell. One thing I can say already: autumn is shaping up to be as interesting as the colorful leaves outside the window.

The Best Anime Summer 2025 Series That I Recommend
The first heatwaves are already behind us, and the days have become much longer. A new season is beginning, so it’s time for another recommendation – Summer Anime 2025. The summer season is, above all, filled with highly anticipated sequels. I don't think I've ever had so many series added to my watching list in a single season. Including leftovers (which is basically just one series), I’ll be watching 25 titles this summer. How many of them will be worth finishing? Time will tell. One thing is certain, though – the Summer 2025 anime season looks exceptionally good.
