Kanamemo (Series rating: 6/10)

Nakamachi Kana was living with her grandma, her only living relative. Sadly, she too passed away, leaving Kana all alone. Having nowhere to go, she is forced to get a job at a local newspaper. There she meets other young women down on their luck, forced to work under a strict manager that puts the job before anything else, regardless of how much the girls have to suffer.
Yeah, this is actually a comedy. Kana’s not really all alone, she just thinks she is. The other girls at the paper enjoy the work and the strict manager is an elementary school girl. The only suffering is brought by Haruka’s molestation attempts and the occasional barking dog.

Another older show. This never got a BD in Japan, so this is really an upscale. But it’s better then the DVD version, and the subtitles are actually accurate for one. Yeah, we all remember the Underwater subs, but looking over them, they had a lot of errors. Anyway, I enjoyed this show. It’s very cute. My only problem was Haruka. The lesbian lolicon joke was dated even then, and here it’s done every single episodes multiple times. It got really annoying really quickly. If Haruka wasn’t voiced by Horie Yui, I would that skipped past those scenes.

This is from the US BD, internal PGS subtitles. Yellow, for some insane reason.
