Damn

There's something to be said about a story where characters, no matter how minor or secondary or briefly-appearing, have nearly the ENTIRE fandom reacting to news about them, and where someone who shows up maybe ten times, tops, still gets THIS much of a reaction.

I mean, damn, I want to be able to tell stories like this someday.

Can we add Arakawa-sensei to the List Of People I Want To Be When I Grow Up, and just leave it at that?
