The genre of Isekai is a well-worn road with several stories trying to transport their audience into a magical world and failing to do so. Very few stories like Zenshu manage to go beyond its regular tropes. The anime is an original project by MAPPA and it combines the genre of Isekai with themes like […]

A TWO-STOREY home has gone up for sale at just shy of £9,000 and it’s fully customisable.
The prefabricated home is built off-site and assembled on-site – just like your flat pack furniture.
The tiny home measures just 20ft by 40ft, but it is still able to accommodate a kitchen, living room and bathroom.
And it only weighs 3,000 pounds – compared to the average 80,000-160,000 pound house.
Made from alloy steel, using environmentally-friendly materials and energy-saving design, reduces the impact on the environment, reported Luxury Property News.
The listing describes it as “suitable for cities or rural areas” and describes its modern and simple appearance.
And the best part? You’re not tied into one area.
The home, selling for £8,921.70, is flexible, portable and quick to build.
It has also been described as lightweight and easy to transport.
The buyer can decide the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and even balconies – though the price will change depending on extras.
According to the manufacturers, users can construct the home quickly without professional knowledge and adapt it to a variety of living scenarios.
There are no solicitor fees, stressful paperwork or waiting months for completion.
And it is suitable for full-time living as well as a holiday home, office or guest accommodation.
They are currently in stock and, if purchased now, they will be delivered within three weeks.
Given the national average house price in the UK was reported at £264,500 in 2024, it could be an affordable alternative.
Of course, you could use the home to earn some extra cash, if you rent it out, or it could be an extra bedroom for friends and family.
Alternatively it could be used as an office or gym in your garden.
Tiny homes in the UK have boomed in popularity in recent years and typically range from 100 to 400 square feet in size.
Prices vary, but a basic tiny home can cost between £5,000 and £80,000, depending on size, materials, and whether it’s custom-built.
If a tiny home is on wheels, it may be classified as a caravan under UK law, meaning it might not require traditional planning permission.
HARIBO is set to open its first-ever stand-alone retail store in Scotland.
The creators of Starmix and Tangfastics have announced today that they will be opening their 12th UK shop in Glasgow.
Sweet-toothed visitors to their most northern shop will be able to immerse themselves in the happy world of HARIBO, which will feature its much-loved products, exclusive merchandise, and fun photo opportunities.
The store promises to be a sweet escape for children and adults alike, inviting everyone to embrace their inner child.
Visitors will have the chance to explore over 30 varieties of HARIBO and MAOAM sweets at the exclusive “Pick Your Mix” station.
Shoppers can indulge in iconic favourites such as Supermix, Giant Strawbs, and MAOAM Stripes, alongside the latest addition to the HARIBO range: HARIBO Nostalgix.
This new collection of soft jelly treats is inspired by classic hard-boiled sweets, featuring nostalgic flavours like Rhubarb & Custard, Pear Drops, Pineapple, and Cola Cubes.
The new store, located at the city’s Silverburn Shopping Centre, will also offer shoppers the opportunity to purchase unique and exciting flavours from around the globe when it opens later this year.
Highlights include HARIBO Favoritos and Watermelon from Spain, HARIBO Dragibus and Tagada from France, and HARIBO liquorice Schnecken from Germany.
Adding to the excitement, fans will be able to purchase exclusive HARIBO merchandise and gifts, perfect for sharing moments of joy with loved ones.
This isn’t the first time HARIBO UK has embraced its Scottish side.
Last year, the company launched a Kids’ Voices TV advert featuring two fishermen enjoying a bag of Starmix while sitting by a loch – with a certain iconic monster lurking in the background!
Announcing the new store, Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail at HARIBO UK, said: “We’re so excited to be opening our first HARIBO retail store in Scotland.
“It’s something we’ve wanted to do for a while, so it’s a dream come true to share the news with our fans – especially those based in Scotland!
“We can’t wait for our Goldbear mascot to cut the ribbon at Silverburn and officially open the store.”
David Pierotti, General Manager of Silverburn, added: “We’re thrilled to bring the happy world of HARIBO to our guests when Scotland’s first HARIBO store opens here at Silverburn later this year.
“With its ‘Pick Your Mix’ station and exotic range of sweets, this exciting addition will bring a fresh flavour to our ever-growing retail, leisure, and dining offering. It’s sure to be a real treat for our visitors.”
HARIBO fans were left gob-smacked last year after discovering the true meaning behind the brand’s name.
Founded in 1920 by Hans Riegel in Bonn, Germany, the name “HARIBO” is an acronym formed from the first two letters of “Hans,” “Riegel,” and “Bonn.”
Hans launched the company as a kitchen-side hustle, relying on humble assets such as a stool, stove, copper pot, rolling pin, and marble slab.
HARIBO’s first employee was his wife, Gertrud, whom he hired in 1921.
The brand quickly gained popularity, with early fans including renowned physicist Albert Einstein and former German monarch Kaiser Wilhelm II, who even had gummy bears delivered to him while in exile.
It also emerged that HARIBO lovers were surprised to learn the real flavour of the brand’s green gummy bears.
HARIBO’s key ranges in the UK include Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix, and MAOAM.
While many assume they are apple or lime-flavoured, attentive readers of the packaging discovered they are, in fact, strawberry.
HARIBO Goldbears come in five flavours: orange, strawberry, pineapple, lemon, and raspberry.
FORMER West Ham chairman David Gold’s enormous will has been revealed.
Probate has now been granted to his daughter Vanessa Young to administer the estate of the ex Hammers’ joint owner – which totalled more than £137million.
Mr Gold was initially thought to have died “intestate” in January 2023 with no instructions on how his fortune should be split.
But fresh documents now reveal a will was actually made in August 2021 outlining his final wishes.
The will includes details of how to deal with his family’s trust fund – and the right to sell his stake in West Ham United.
It gave a gross value of his estate in the UK as £137,241,336 – with a net value of £127,529,095.
Daughter Vanessa was named as the executor and trustee.
And the will also stated those in charge of his estate could “sell all or any” of its assets they deem “appropriate” – including his 25.1 per cent stake in West Ham.
In a document published last week, the grant of probate outlined: “The last will and testament of David Gold is proved and registered before the High Court of Justice.
“The Administration of David Gold’s estate is granted by this court to the following Executor – Vanessa Julia Young.”
Mr Gold’s other daughter Jacqueline Gold died in March 2023 after a seven year battle with breast cancer – leaving Vanessa as the sole administrator of his fortune.
In his will, Mr Gold wrote: “I appoint my daughters JACQUELINE GOLD (Jacqueline) VANESSA JULIA YOUNG (Vanessa) to be the executors and trustees of this Will.
“I give my trustees all my personal possessions with a request to distribute them according to the latest wishes I have expressed in any note left with my papers at my death.”
Beneficies of the trust listed on his will included his two daughters, his two son-in-laws, a granddaughter and his partner.
Mr Gold also left a series of legacies free of inheritance tax including £100k to his sister Marie Mould, £50k each to two named individuals, and £25k each to two others.
Some of the awards were conditional on the benefactors remaining as employees at the time of his death.
Mr Gold also outlined in his will that his trustees must hold his estate on trust.
He added: “They may sell all or any of the assets in my estate as they consider appropriate.”
Before the will was discovered, a letter of administration was granted by the High Court of Justice to Vanessa.
It added that the “Ad Colligenda Bona grant” is “limited for the purposes only of collecting in and receiving the estate and doing such acts as may be necessary to preserve and protect the shareholdings of the deceased in WH Holdings Ltd, GGIH Holdings lTD and Goddington Manor Management Ltd, to include for the avoidance of doubt the right to sell the said shares and to sell (his main home) and until further representation be granted.
“The application has stated the gross value of the estate in the United Kingdom amounts to £130M and the net value amounts to £125M.”
For the first five games of the season, Rafael Devers couldn’t buy a hit. The Boston Red Sox slugger was mired in an 0-for-21 slump with a staggering 15 strikeouts, drawing concern from fans and frustration across the lineup. But on Wednesday night at Camden Yards, Devers finally delivered — and the weight of the […]

VOGUE Williams dazzled in a bright blue bikini as she hit the beach in St Barts after denying rumours of a rift with husband Spencer Matthews.
The broadcaster and podcast host, 39, opted for a cobalt two-piece with a white trim, starting off her day on the sands by pairing her swimwear with denim shorts and a straw hat.
Vogue pulled on a pair of white-framed sunglasses to complete her stylish look, flashing a smile as she strode across the sands.
Her carefree attitude came after a tough week for the mum of three, who was forced to defend suggestions her seven-year marriage is in crisis.
Yet she appeared to be chilled out and relaxed on her family holiday with Made In Chelsea alum Spencer, 36, their kids and Spencer’s mum.
After perching on her sun lounger, she grabbed a huge white inflatable ring and headed towards her husband.
She was seen having a natter with the E4 star, who wore patterned shorts and a shirt left unbuttoned.
He also pulled on a pair of sunglasses as he embraced his downtime.
Earlier in the trip, the Irish model pulled on a green strapless bikini for another day in the sun.
The holiday comes just a month after Vogue and Spencer’s ski trip – where she stripped to a pink bikini on the slopes.
Just last week Vogue said she’d “had enough” after rumours of struggles at home.
Now the mum of three has taken to Instagram to set the record straight.
In a fiery rant posted alongside a carousel of images showing the pair in happy times, she wrote: “It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!
“I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up.”
She told how rumours of a marriage breakdown are “absolutely not true and much more importantly I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.”
She added: “We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.
“We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop.”
Spencer then made light of the situation as he added some of the speculation was “quite funny to be fair.”
It comes after speculation the pair were trying to avoid the seven-year itch.
It also follows Spencer’s reveal that he will not be leaving his fortune to their kids over nepotism fears.
Meanwhile, according to The Mirror, the couple held different opinions on handling rumours of their split.
A source told the publication: “Vogue is much more sensitive than Spencer when it comes to people talking about their relationship and their family, so she takes rumours about their marriage much more to heart and it makes her angry.
“It’s a bit like water off a duck’s back to Spencer – but Vogue finds it hard seeing them all the time, especially as they’ve got kids, which she said herself.”
They added: “Spencer also feels that if you address something publicly it just fuels the situation – it doesn’t stop people from talking, it almost has the opposite effect.
“So they’re not really on the same page with it, which can be an issue, at times.”
Suggestions of a rift were also ramped up a notch when Vogue failed to mention Spencer in her Mother’s Day post.
It came despite the fact Spencer gushed over his “incredible” wife in his upload.
