Hello everyone! We wanted to let you know that we have added a search bar to our homepage!

The biggest difference from the search bar inside the news page is that the homepage search bar is more effective in processing search terms (i.e., "Fantasy" or "idol").

Kudos to Behind The Manga for doing an interview with Mitsuru Hattori, mangaka of Wash It All Away! I love how when he answers about incorporated cleaning techniques in his everyday life, he says he uses what he learns from Miss Kinme (in the Japanese) as if she exists, which is very sweet somehow.
