Added the honorifics, Kyousuke-stutters (many!), FX's, the subtitles on the title page, about 4-5 untranslated lines, additional newspaper text, the title of a book that Kurumi is reading (major chuckle here), missing ! and ? from the Japanese text, parentheses for the character's thoughts, that sort of stuff... During the discussion phase of the script preparation, some lines were re-worded, as well. --------------------------------------------------- p 157 (135)--TITLE PAGE [Back view of a tanned Madoka, standing in bikini, T-shirt and hat at the beach.
