The Old School Otaku Lounge

Welcome to the board!

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Umaru-chan! Nitro liked it even more than I did, though--probably because Umaru's gaming & snacking habits are very similar to his own! :lol: My initial concern with any of the 'imouto' series is was going to go down the incest route, so I was happily surpr...

The key to weight loss is to gradually make a change to your lifestyle. When people try to do too much at once, such as radically changing their diet and workout levels, that's when they fail.
