I’m feeling much better and updates are going to be rolling like a katamari. I’ve got a lot of stuff on my log so stay tuned. I’ve got some episode summaries, a couple figure reviews, and even a few articles coming. In related news, Max Fac Shana and Ryoko Asakura came in today and are just absolutely gorgeous.

Akira gets fed up and tells them to not talk about such matters in front of the dragons. Liner makes a timely intervention and cuts the meeting short before Akira is reevaluated by the higher-ups of being unsuitable of her position.
