Anime: Seto no Hanayome

I still can’t find a series to fill in the void left when Seto no Hanayome ended its run. No more slapstick for me. Anyway, they just released two mini-albums from the seiyuu singing some of the songs while in character. That by itself isn’t news, I’m just taking that as an excuse to post up covers.
