Courtesy of Netflix If there’s one thing to know about Netflix’s pop-culture smash hit “Lucifer,” it’s that the Devil-to-penis joke pipeline is a flaccid circle. OK, I’m kidding. The show is obviously much deeper than that. And despite the show’s cheeky (and sometimes over-the-top) innuendo, the emotional beats still hit just the same. You can…
Jessica Pommer Despite not having access to a kitchen, Lucifer Morningstar is reportedly an excellent cook. Throughout the show, fans have seen him make Grilled Cheese, French fries, truffle omelettes and casseroles. (The only thing he doesn't do is the dishes.) And when he's not cooking, he always knows the best place in LA to…

But what then, if an angel falls, impersonates you, kidnaps your girlfriend and tries to start an unholy war in a penultimate season of your life? They get rewarded, apparently.

TOKYOPOP LOVE X LOVE Atsuko Yusen's "Deko-Boko Sugar Days," gives a refreshing (not quite revolutionary) take on typical Yaoi narratives. The story starts out with the usual misunderstanding.
