Welcome to The Avocado’s weekly discussion of Japanese pop culture!

Whether you’re celebrating a holiday today or not, I hope you have a wonderful day! Before you wonder, yes, I spent too long making that gif, but it was totally worth it because I wanted to give everyone the gift of a cute Kimi ni Todoke Christmas party. Another gift is Tani Yuuki’s new Christmas song and music video (which is also the source of the image in the header)!

Also, don’t forget to vote in The Pits before the deadline on Saturday! For quick reference, the Anime voting thread is here and the Comics voting thread (which includes manga) is here!

And, as always…

What have you been watching/reading/playing/eating/listening to lately?

Happy Wednesday! 👹
