If you’ve had enough romance and isekai anime, here’s one that’ll have you tossing and turning at night. 

Members of the Mystery Club travel to a house on a remote island, coincidentally a scene of a gristly, unsolved, mass murder. The group plans to dig deeper, but should they be trusting the “facts” or even each other? No one is safe now. 

• Chihiro-Kun Only Has Eyes For Me by Sato Ito: August 24th, 2021

Sato Ito’s romance anime does not slow down: beginning with love at first sight encounters, “you are my muse,” confessions, and talk of stripping, Michi catches the eye of Chihiro-kun. 

Of course, they happen to go to the same school, and the aspiring fashion designer, Chihiro-kun, wants to use her as his model. How will their relationship develop? Can Michi hold the attention of such a serious artist? 

• Mr. Bride by Natsumi Shiba: August 31st, 2021

How many of you present a calm and collected exterior but secretly throw clothes in your closest and don’t put the plates back? 

If so, I’m sure you will all relate and sympathize with the it-woman, Hayami, who is relaxed, confident, and admired by all at work. But her darkest secret about her messy house and bad habits might end her relationship with one of her colleagues, Yamamoto-kun. 

Imagine being glamorized only for someone to find out how slobbish you are? How will Hayami escape the fix she’s got herself into?
