 One of the biggest and most underrated manga has recently gotten an anime adaptation. Yes, I am talking about DanDaDan, a supernatural romance comedy from Yukinobu Tatsu, it follows  Momo Ayase, a high school girl who believes in ghosts and spirits, and Ken  Takakura, whom Momo nicknames "Okarun", who believes in aliens but not ghosts.

With the idea that complexity is more impressive than simplicity, many have started vilifying simplicity as another form of laziness.  I, however, disagree with this notion. And if you do to, then here are just a few ways to simplify your life. 1 - DE - CLUTTER:   No seriously, clean out all of the things you will never use again, there's no reason to keep them. 2 - REDUCE GOALS AND COMMITMENTS:   I'm not talking about cutting our people and giving up, what I do mean though is that you don't have to spend all day, every day running full throttle after others. 3 - REDUCE DEPT:  Having dept causes a lot of stress and wastes time via overtime at work and extra jobs. I understand it's not that easy, but don't give up. 4 - STOP PROCRASTINATING: Finish small, easy tasks as they come. Y...
