So, today I finally settled in to read the Mahoyo trial. And I'm already in love with Aoko's chest with the vibe from it. Once again, I just adore all things Type Moon for the odd mix of mundane and magical that comes out as a very humanizing experience...

And then Soujurou doing his flash-step gardening was about as awesome a thing I've ever seen in a visual novel.
