HAPPY KISS!: Binan Koukou Chikyuubouei-bu

Posted on July 4, 2018 4:39 pm by Offkorn 2 Comments

The previous members of the Earth Defense Club have long ago, or perhaps not so long ago, graduated from high school and the club is now populated by a new group of students much like the old ones. Also much like their predecessors, while relaxing at the bathhouse they’re suddenly visited by a talking animal who presses them into service as Magic Knights!

A series with a fondness for bathhouse scenes that’s part observational/philosophical comedy and part 4th wall-breaking magical girl parody. Thematically identical, plot-wise it’s completely independent from the first three works in the franchise.
