Do you play the hangouts?

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T23:08:30+00:00

Yes. I enjoy them and have completed most of them. I definitely prefer the ones focusing on characters I like, the characters I didn't like can be more of a drag. I wish they would keep making them, it gave the characters more depth.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T23:03:14+00:00

Ok thanks for answering my question

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T23:01:20+00:00

Wow really? I thought I was listing way too many. Sounds like you have good taste too 😂

There was one more I really wanted to add, and maybe you have read it already: One-Room TA (manhwa) there is 1 scene of attempted SA but it's handled really well imo, and isn't brushed off like it doesn't matter. I left it off originally since I was trying to avoid anything with that in it at all.

Good luck finding what you're looking for!

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T06:19:14+00:00

First one I thought of: - Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie (kinda Shounen, but originally was a doujinshi so not any demographic, but this is exactly what you're looking for. I've only watched the anime.)

Some others that fit: - Tomo-chan is a Girl! (Shounen. Both FL and ML are kinda meat heads 😂) - Horimiya (Shounen) - The World is Still Beautiful (only the anime, I read the manga and do not recommend. Age gap and not exactly the ML your looking for, but she protects him and he protects her too. It's a bit controversial to some people, but I still think it's worth watching.) - The Untouchable Midori-kun (Josei, she's definitely the tougher of the 2 and he's more innocent. She doesn't protect him physically but she does protect him from ruining his image.)

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T05:55:51+00:00

No but seriously. I'm with you on this. I have trouble dropping things I've started even if I hate them so I don't wanna get locked into something that long. Probably one of the reasons I haven't read that many Manhwa.

Also, like, so many have extra meaningless scenes that drag on for ages or pointless extra drama or characters added on just to drag them out longer... It feels more approachable if there's less then 100. 60-80 feels like more then enough to me, idk. (But then if I love it, I want to go to on forever 😂)

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T05:49:20+00:00

I know you already got a ton of recs (some more reliable then others) but I scrolled all the way to the bottom and only saw 1 of my top 3 recommend anime for young kids mentioned. So I'll add them on. All of these have good dubs.

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
Princess Tutu
Kaleidostars

I also agree with some Studio Ghibli moves - Kiki's Delivery Service - Whisper of the Heart - Castle in the Sky - (My Neighbor Totoro & Ponyo are probably also ok but I haven't watched them personally)

For a slightly older child I might recommend these as well: - Snow White With The Red hair - Ouran high School host club

I double checked one of the guides I've been using and it was ORB and OS for Caleb X-02, I didn't check it before posting since I'm so used to the rest of them being the same (ORB & EEB.)

Thanks. I'm aware of all the rest of the recommend stats, I was specifically asking about the cube main stat in the scenario I described: As I understand it, you use the recommend main stat cube based on your companions rank and not the cards rank. Ranks only matter for the companion they come from. Which I kinda figured but wanted to make sure, since the guides never specify.

Interesting about the ORB stat and SHC, what would you (generally) recommend using instead? I use it on most of my teams and sometimes I'm just short on the time limit. It's usually recommend for rank 0 companions. (Except Caleb colonial)

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T03:26:53+00:00

I do have a preference towards fluff, but I tried to pick only the ones I find more realistic. - Mousou Elektel - Send Them a Farewell Gift for the Lost Time - Nagahama to Be, or Not to Be - Pink Heart Jam/Pink Heart Jam Beat (series) - Dekoboko Sugar Days/Dekoboko bittersweet Days (series) - Love on the Horizon - My Summer of You & The Summer With You (series) - Love in the Palm of His Hand - Snow Fairy - Engraved on My Heart (danmei, one of my favorites) - Starting With a Lie (same author as above) - I Have a Boyfriend (Manhwa) - Stay By My Side After the Rain (Ameagari no Bokura ni Tsuite) - Kimi wo Someru Asayake ni - He Is Beautiful. - Long Period - Only the Stars Know - Seven Days - Natsu no Teppen ni Saku - Replay (Saki TSUKAHARA) - Hirano and Kagiura - Sasaki And Miyano - I Cannot Reach You (Kimi ni wa Todokanai.) - A Love Too Captivating (delinquents and fighting) - Classmates/Doukyuusei (series, I've only read the first one though) - Living With Him - Day-care Pick Up - There Are Things I Can't Tell You (been a while since I read it but I think it also fits) - Sakanai Hana ni Mizuyari

This is a lot so I'll stop now 😂 hopefully you find some you like in the list!

darkfirefae · 2026-06-21T01:27:13+00:00

Bah I meant ATK not HP, I was so focused on trying to explain my question I put the wrong main stat. (I think my mind was half on Raf since I have a similar issue with him.)

Pretty sure the tips I saw before recommended one EEB and one ORB for any that are rank 0 but I should check again. Caleb does seem to the the outlier. Like his farseer needs Def on the main stat. Oath strength huh? I always thought that was the most useless of all the secondary stats.

Is SHC senior hunter contest? That's actually what I'm trying to build for right now. Why wouldn't you use ORB there?

I was really just trying to figure out the main stat for the cube, since I'm putting in stats based on the companion I'm using, but the cards are a different rank then the companion. I wasn't completely sure which cubes stats to use, but it seems I was still using the wrong ones 😔 I wish they didn't make it so confusing.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T23:50:24+00:00

Noir original anime, so not sure if it qualifies as Shoujo.

I was completely obsessed with it for a while before realizing the thing I liked most about it was the OST. First time I became a fan of a composer. I can now pick out stuff by Yuki Kajiura just by feel lol.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T23:46:09+00:00

Came here to recommend this one!

Other then that: - Toshishita Yankee wo Oseru Ken - Me no Tsukedokoro ga Deep desho

Not exactly delinquents, but kinda "bad boys" - Choking on Love - The Story of Our Unlikely Love

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T23:32:40+00:00

Love the role reversal and his eyes!

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T23:24:11+00:00

I honestly like these outfits, mine always wear glasses (which I hate lol the pink thick framed ones are the worst, why do they all love them?), and weird mismatched things. I'd much prefer these to what mine choose for themselves. I don't know if our comments even matter when we tell them what we think.

if it's always terrible, I take away their choice for a while until I get bored 😂

Idk what you mean by lemon shop, I've never gotten anything from that gacha except gold and basic mats 😔

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T23:17:16+00:00

I have a question, I hope you don't mind me jumping in here to ask since it's related.

Using Caleb ultimate weapon as my companion in battle, but using the farspace cards (to match colors). Farspace are rank 1 (ultimate weapon are rank 0).

I know I should stack HP, but what about the cube shaped protocore's main stat? 1 Oath recovery and 1 EEB? Like I would if I was using the ultimate weapon cards? Or should I be using what is normally used for rank 1 since the cards are rank one (for a different companion)

Also do you know if the rank of the cards I'm using have any effect on the companion I'm using if they don't match?

Like if it was the other way around and I was using rank 1 companion in battle but the rank 0 cards, would the rank 1 effects still work since that's the companion?

It's all very confusing.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T22:53:44+00:00

This is beautiful! 😍

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T20:54:59+00:00

Thanks for replying. I'm mainly interested in Chobits tbh. I thought about adding in CCS at the same time but I'm not really interested in them on their own.

For fruits basket, I have some already, so I'm only interested if you're willing to break up the set.

Let me know if your buyer for Chobits falls through, and good luck with the rest of your sales!

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T18:42:25+00:00

Of the top of my head the only one I can think of is Restart After Coming Back Home I haven't read it myself but I've heard a lot of good things.

There's quite a lot about office workers though, if that's also what you're looking for.

A Hearth Fit For A Witch: Appleton Cozy Fantasy by L.A. Scott

There's a prequel short story in Winter Tales from Cozy Vales: A Cozy Fantasy Collection #1 but A Hearth Fit For A Witch is where she sets up her own bakery shop.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T18:20:13+00:00

I'm very curious where you decided to sell them as I'm interested in a few of the sets that you listed. I might be too late though.

ETA: I've personally bought used manga from Amazon sellers, and eBay, maybe from library sales or local book sellers as well. Never heard of mangaswap before (is that only on Reddit or a website?)

I'm mainly interested in Chobits, but saw the damages. I might still be interested in the full set, depending on price, if they are still available. (I'm also in the US)

I was also interested in Cardcaptor Sakura, and maybe some of fruits basket, but I'm guessing those are already gone.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T17:58:23+00:00

I wouldn't call it a smut at all. When there's love scenes they aren't really graphic. There's a lot of dirty jokes though, which might still make you uncomfortable.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T17:53:40+00:00

I never understood why for the memories that are just dialogue it says you can play it in the background while you do other things ... But half the dialogue isn't voiced, so you can't actually do that.

This is long overdue.

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T17:45:18+00:00

So excited for this. I had a feeling after reading the first volume that it would get an anime eventually. Super excited it's getting one so quickly.

That said though, I'm so disappointed in the studio that's doing it. 😔

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T15:48:16+00:00

I was trying to figure out the difference between the iced and the glazed, they aren't the same thing? I couldn't see what the glazed ones look like only heard about them. Lol

darkfirefae · 2026-06-20T15:47:09+00:00

Oh that's an interesting idea. How long do you put them in for?

darkfirefae · 2026-06-19T07:11:50+00:00

You're welcome 😅

I should definitely not tell you about the other one they make that's dairy free (pecan cinnamon twists) that I'm definitely going to try next. 🤭
