the DS really is an incredible piece of gaming hardware, it just did everything and more, I dropped a cup of noodles on my original Blue one and it survived it just fine
holy shit, i almost like if the manga just ended pretty much out of nowhere, in a completely open way, i'd still be satisfied and feel like so much was accomplished by these characters
