Well no one really knows what would happen, but that is why it is a comedy. Whatever is going to happen is going to be dramatic and hilarious to watch.

Your hunch would be correct. There are still some main characters you haven't meant yet. And I believe I'm bordering on 90 character profiles right now. I have profiles for main character family members. Everyone of the Hayashi's has a background, especially his parents. I'm thorough, if not overly so.

Well I take time when I do reviews. I usually like to read and digest and think then come back and review. Length also is a factor on the review, since longer ones have more things I can talk about than something shorter. But I've written reviews that almost exceed the character limit in FictionPress. So I always provide something. If you want everything, then I'll be even more thorough. Since my reviews vary depending on what the writer wants out of it.

Yeah, I how I handle him in the second season will still be something I need to completely figure out. Considering that he is an adult mind in a child's body, it'll be more difficult for him to switch. Plus, it is a child, which clothing aside, remain gender neutral for a while. It won't be until he really hits puberty that he'll have to deal with female hormones and mindset really playing havok with him.

I think you'll enjoy Shift a lot, especially since you like things like Saint Seiya. There will be more stuff in the future you'll hit that will probably really get you excited. One thing I always like asking is who the favorite character is after they have finished chapter 45 and after chapter 85. So you'll have to let me know who your's are.

Yeah, I saw you posting more. If you want me to look at it I will, but if you want feedback you'll need to tell me how much and what you want. Because when I review I'm thorough and cover all aspects. I'm tactful, but I'll tell you there things are weird.

Yeah, the second season is going to address more issues with his body and him growing more into a girl. Because he's still very much stuck in the mind set of being a man, I plan on playing with that change he'll have of slipping into a female mind set. If this was Japanese he'd be saying "ore" or "boku" a lot, something in a girl that can be considered cute or tomboyish. But if he starting with "atashi" or even "watashi" there'd be a pretty big sort of realization in audience and characters that there a shift.

Well at the start he was a womanizing playboy with no redeeming qualities at all. So I couldn't stand him at all because of that. I really hate that type of person, he was very self-centered. But it did make for a good show of change with things. And he is a significantly better person at the end.

It only lasted for the first few pages. Once he was hospitalized, things improved and by the end he was in the body of a kid. So the aspects that I hated about him were no longer present. But it was difficult to write the first couple of pages because I couldn't stand him.

Yeah, I left the more in-depth commentary for chapter elsewhere. But I never managed to actually keep it up, especially since I wrote them so long ago. But I think I did talk more about my inspiration and what not in those.

Speaking of not liking stuff, did I tell you that I hated Chiko when I first created him? I didn't think I was going to be write the rest of The Inner Man because I hated him so much.

Yeah, most authors will have comments at the end of their tankobon or even each chapter depending on the individual. It gives a little more insight into the author usually and sometimes the story. Usually, just the author though.

Well they are now up so you can check them out. Shift has a new sub-arc, so you'll get to learn about a different character this time.

Yes, tomorrow is coming soon. Though you did end up glossing over the bigger details in Shift while you focused on trying to find the reference.

Well, like I said, you'll probably figure it out in the last time I mention it since it is a lot easier to recognize. If you end up missing it at that point I'll help you out.

Yeah, if I tell you what story it is, then it won't be as much fun for you find it. But I can assure that you've read the story and if you're paying attention it should not slip past you. It'll probably be the last time I make the reference that you get it, since the first couple of times are pretty small and you have to have a good memory. The last reference is in the next sub-arc.

Also keep an eye out for the reference to another one of my stories. It makes an appearance a few times before I let it go.

Yeah, I'll make sure that they are up and available for you. You will get to see the conclusion to the sub-arc now. There'll be some reveals and fun stuff to look forward to seeing.

I know fair bit about the series. As I've said before, I have no problem with watching it. I just haven't because it is long and I don't want to get involved in something that long. So there's no convincing you need to do. Eventually, I probably will watch.

Well the nice thing is that they come with a plot. The amount and what not certainly varies, but you can usually find a story.
