Tomino - However, because of that, I got into a series called—I think it was
something like "Selected World Masterpieces for Boys and Girls"? From Kodansha, I want to say? The first one I read was Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

I don't really go here but all the same I'm frankly offended that there's only one official figure of Haru Urara and it's out of a three hundred yen capsule machine. She doesn't even have a Nendoroid.
