Just FYI Insomniacs after school anime does not tell the entire story, there is plenty of manga after the anime

Youre right, my bad

MitchNotBitch2026-01-15 05:31

No all good, the rest of the manga is quite good so its worth checking out :)

Pseudo Harem. 12 episode complete romance story, very silly and fun and heartwarming.

Uma-apreciator2026-01-15 04:52

Uma Musume Road to the Top just 4 episodes

My second comment with some actual recommendations this time:

\- Gurren Lagann

\- Fate Series: Fate/Zero, Unlimited Blade Works & Heavens Feel

\- 86 (Not the full story, but ends in a very good spot)

\- Gundam Witch from Mercury

\- Chivalry of a Failed Knight - also not the full story, but ends in a great spot
