According to AoiTsukiReviewer at www.mangaupdates.com, this is an enjoyable, intricate and beautifully crafted manga with nice ambience and enjoyable characters. The story revolves around a "older" (probably mid-20s but a mature type) woman named Alice who returns to live in the countryside after her grandma's death. She re-opens the traditional irori, a traditional Japanese open hearth. She reunites with her childhood friend and the manga follows the two (as well as people around them). The characters have a good dynamic and are well matched. They are also NOT dense when it comes to love, they do pick things up rather fast, and they don't sit on them which is refreshing. Art style is beautiful, soft and detailed. A lot of thought goes not only in drawing the characters but also in "background"; the room and items. This is a good example of a "classical", well drawn manga, not an epic manga like the more known ones, but rather that type of quiet, ambiental, beautifully drawn manga that's soothing but not boring, mature but not heavy, and light while not cheap.

This fender and genre-bending film takes us into the not-too-distant machine-driven future. Kokone should be diligently studying for her university entrance exams, but she just can't seem to stay awake. Aside from stealing precious study time, her napping is even more distracting, as it brings on strange dreams with warring machines that hint at family secrets that have been dormant for years. She can't ask her father, a hipster mechanic more talented and artful than his job requires, as he's always busy modifying motorcycles and cars in flights of fancy. What are these visions that lead Kokone at once closer to and farther away from her family? Like all the best anime, the film revels in multilayered fantasy to show how sometimes opposites—waking and dreaming, the past and the future—are far more intertwined than they appear.

I became a maid in a horror game. And, here in this mansion, I was confined together with the male lead, who’s trying to escape. My role here was to guide him around the mansion and to give him penalties once in a while. I just need to fulfill my NPC duties until the male lead’s playthrough is over. “Once I get out, I’ll have you locked up the same way.” This male lead was kicking up quite the racket though. So I decided to help him escape as soon as possible. “Let’s eat, Dietrich.” “That’s a potion. It’ll get you healed up right away.” “The escape hint is right over there…” I stuffed him well enough so he had enough energy for the next part of the game. I gave him a potion to use in case he got hurt. I also gave him some hints to solve the problem. Then, we can get out now, right? However. “Not sure. I don’t know the answer.” Look here, smart guy. What exactly do you mean by that? …The male lead doesn’t want to leave the mansion. “If you’re not leaving, then I will!” I shouted in a fit of anger. At the thought of having to keep looking at this hateful guy’s face, I was justifiably annoyed. “Is this truly the kind of place that you can get out of?” As he said this, the look in his eyes darkened sharply. “Just so we’re clear, I have absolutely no intention of getting out of here.” “What?” “And you’re not leaving either.” How the hell did it come to this?
