Love and Lies Episodes 11 and 12 Review

Have you ever been so angry that you want to punch something, but there's nothing nearby that is nice and punchable, so you just wander around the house being furious at everything? Because that's what I feel like right now. I hate this show, I hate Yukari, I hate Misaki and Ririna. I literally cannot …
