Phew finally made it all the way to the end. Shizu reminds me so much of my great aunt who passed a few years back. A tiny four foot nothing package of sweetness and love who could unleash fire when finally pushed to her limit.
I know the author probably wouldn't have done it but man I was seeing tragedy flags all over in the final special as Nozomi was pondering how she was only a little bit younger than when Sue had her. Don't make the family be cursed or something!
For my own curiosity I tried going to the authors website but it seems to have gone offline sometime around 2003.
Thanks Dayment scans for putting in the work translating. An older title like this couldn't have been easy given the authors own admittance of being a relative amateur.
