June 24th. On this day in history, Julius Nepos became one of the last Western Roman Emperors, Hopalong Cassiday debuted, the games Uta no Prince-sama and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 were released, Astro and Mindy Kaling were born, and Grover Cleveland died.

EXPIRED Anime & Manga Deals Roundup: Fight Against Cancer Edition

Cancer Ribbons

Groundhog Day was a couple of days ago (early spring is coming!), and Valentine’s Day is just over a week away. But today is also World Cancer Day. I’d like to take a moment and offer my condolences to everyone who has lost someone to to cancer, and my thoughts to everyone currently battling cancer. I lost my great-uncle to a brain tumor, and my aunt is a breast cancer survivor.

If you save some money today or have so previously, consider donating to one of the many cancer detection, research, and treatment facilities to help battle this awful group of diseases.
