Blue Box Ep. 13 "I Want a Back-and-Forth Rally" starts off the second cours of the anime with some action. Sports action, to be precise. All starring neither Taiki nor Chinatsu for once, but Haryu instead. And with both Taiki and a certain Great Romantic Sage Karen cheering him on to boot. Blue Box
Blue Box Ep. 11 "Uncool!" is basically Hina's chance to shine after Chinatsu more or less rejected Taiki. However, the Hina complication works both ways. After all, she can't stand to see just how uncool Taiki is being after that rejection, even if it means sabotaging her own chances with him. Blue

The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
