Apparently this season was saving its best for last. I really enjoyed this episode!
Now, it does have a fairly generic setup. Rich girl gets a magical boyfriend. And the house of Ayakashi reminds me of Otome Youkai Zakuro. Continue reading Inu x Boku SS — First Impression
A Roman bath architect travels through the drain into the future and studies a Japanese public bath.
