*nodnod* The recasting of the competition between Yukari and Mitsuru is a lot cooler to me when they're boys -- the cattiness that it had in canon is one of my least favorite things to see female characters do to each other. And yeah, Aki, not so worried about it. S/he probably never thinks about all that nonsense at all. ^^
I KNOW, ME TOO~ The guide would say things like, "Take Koromaru for a walk with Shinjiro," and I would pine for it, sure that we'd never get to do that. But now we can! Bless Atlus for taking pity on the US fans. ♥
And yeah, of course! I'm always happy to have more people reading. ^_^
