RAW JAPAN Comment
The moment I watched the trailer, my vision blurred.
It felt like pure cuteness was physically searing itself onto my retinas.
Don’t be fooled by the “just a short episode” format.
This is a 13-min × 12-episode miniature WMD of adorableness.
I’m already eyeing plushies.
You probably will too.
