We’re going to talk about “Sasaki and Miyano” today because I’ll keep making angry duck sounds of excitement if I don’t share my feelings.

An Anime That I Wish Had Continued (30 Day Anime Challenge, Day 30)

My goal was to finish the challenge in exactly 30 days, posting one post each day beginning on January 1st and running through January 30th. It wasn't always easy, to be honest.
