Been revisiting ES21 ...

... and I'm certain it was this manga that started my lifelong love affair with minor characters. Seriously, despite having Loads and Loads of Characters, the mangaka successfully made them distinctive and memorable. Even those who only showed up once or twice throughout the series (Kobanzame-senpai! Togake Habashira! The occult-obsessed nurse!).

Gosh, I have so much love for this manga.
