First Impression:
What would you do if you woke up only to find out that you have horns and a tail? It took a second for Yuuka to realize but now that she’s responsible for lifting the curse of the dark clan she can’t help but get pumped up!
Just 10 minutes in and I’m already at my limit, this show is so funny and the comedic timing is impeccable. As the source material is a 4-koma manga, the scene tends to go by pretty quickly but it still has that impact that keeps me wanting more!
What!? The episode is over already!? I need so much more!
Recommendation:
YES
I already knew that I was going to like this show a lot but I didn’t expect to like it this much! The lovely art, ridiculous plot and unorthodox characters create a unique and absurd show that keeps you laughing from beginning to end!
