It must take a special effort to write a review of Druaga and not mention the role of Ahmey (should I complain to Impz?), but an interesting perspective all the same.

Bugfox makes me laugh.
read moreShinkurou Kurenai is an atypical sixteen-year-old. An orphan (his parents were killed by terrorists) he lives alone in a tiny, unkempt apartment. By day he attends high school. By night he has a part-time job as a “dispute mediator.”
