    I’m very, very, very happy that Emma’s being published. Not very happy that CMX is doing it, but there’s nothing there for them to censor so that maybe acceptable. Emma’s theme song is still stuck in my head somewhere. What a lovely story.

    I thought Emma had mature “moments”. Not true?

    Yes there are but nothing more mature than say suzuka really. But without the blatant fanservice.
