308 – Kasane part 4

Our penultimate episode on Kasane has brought us on a story trajectory we’re not happy about! We desperately try to predict where Daruma Matsuura is trying to lead us with the upcoming ending to these literal dramatics! We also talk about I Don’t Know How to Give Birth!Meshi ni Shimashou, the cancellation of Act-Age, and more!!!
