After finding out that the school's library was a welcome respite from the heat of the tropical island he inhabited, Paolo Jasa found out that books were a whole lot better than being a constant target during P.E. class; so much so that he developed a love for them that would last him a life time.

A decent romantic-comedy anime that pokes fun at all the little tropes that run the shoujo genre, The World Only God Knows is a decent start for anyone interested in getting into the romantic anime genre.
Paolo begins his journey into the depths of the new series out this fall, and gets a little carried away with the robots and the sparkles.
FUNimation has added anime rentals to iTunes, and Paolo has some mixed feelings about it.
